The image above isn't mine....
If you don't have a xylophone or lyre....
Why not make your own out of jars or 
bottles ? I have read an ecofact
about recycling glass jars in my book, it said:
Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough
energy to run a computer for 25 minutes or a
TV for 90 minutes. Glass made from new materials 
creates more water pollution than glass made from
recycled ingredients. So making this project/ experiment
helps save money (or maybe it cost a little)
& is eco-friendly >w<

>>What you'll need:<<

Glass bottles or jars (it's better if all of them are
in the same size)

Food coloring/ Paint (watercolor) (optional)

Water


Spoon

>>Procedure:<<

1.) Pour the water in each jar/ bottle carefully, make 
sure all of them have different amounts of water

2.) Pour in different food coloring/ paint to each jar/ bottle,
be careful or you might get stained, this will help you remember
which jar is which....Or you can label it with numbers, letters, etc.

3.)Tap each glass with the spoon, Notice that each bottle has 
a different tone or you can blow into them instead..
The more jars you have, the more tones you'll get!

Have fun making music~!

-What's better? Pancakes or Waffles? My answer:
I dunno, I thought: "Is there a difference between Pancakes
& Waffles?"...Yes~! The waffles have those square-
thingys in them while  pancakes is flat....That's not only the 
answer LOL... The Maple Syrup, which tastes great with 
pancakes, I said to be a....Tree Sap, that's
from a maple tree, mostly found in the Canadian Region..
Another Fact: Long time ago, before baking soda was
invented, cooks often used fallen snow, as a secret
ingredient which contained ammonia, that made pancakes 
nice and soft.

Make Chocolate
The image above isn't mine
>>How to make chocolate<<
I love Chocolate~! One of the most popular & tastiest foods
in the whole world >w<...Chocolate is a valuable energy source.
A piece of chocolate chip can give enough energy for an adult
to walk 150 feet O.O....Chocolate contains a chemical, called
"flavenoids" & these flavenoids have nutrition in them. But most of the
chocolate we eat are processed. Many unhealthy chemicals & sugar
are added to it. In some cases, this cancels the benefits of the flavenoids.
This is where chocolate is termed as "unhealthy" :<. Pure dark chocolate
is healthy though, we get a lot of nutritious stuff from it...Chocolate is said
to lower blood pressure  >w<....


Enjoy your chocolate~!! :]

>>Downloads:<<
*brushes:*
Splats & Strokes Photoshop by
kabukitkatze in deviantart
>>Download ps brush set here<<


I always use this kind of text effect when making headers
for my blog, now I'm gonna teach you how to do it :3

First thing need to do is open Adobe Photoshop >w<
...then do the following steps:
>>Go to File>New...fill in the height, width, etc...then click OK
(Make sure you make the background contents
 transparent & its color mode in RGB Color [as always >:3])


(1.) Select your type tool...


(2.) Change your font, font style & font size...





(3.) Start typing xD
(4.) Right click on your text's layer
(5.) Click Create Work Path



(6.) Create a new layer
(7.) Delete your text's layer


(8.) The text's work path still stays, right click on the pen tool icon
then click Add Anchor Point Tool
(9.) Right click on your work path, then click Make Selection,




(10.) This window will appear, Feather Radius: 0 pixels,
Anti-aliased checked..


(11.) The work path will turn into broken lines, that means it's selected


(12.) Select the Paint Bucket Tool, Choose a color from your swatches, etc.
(13.) Fill in the selected area



(14.) Choose a another color from your swatches
(15.) Grab your brush tool, you can either change your brush or not.
(16.) Start designing your text, to whatever you like..
But I design mine using Paint Splatter Brushes
You can download the Paint Splatter Brush Set 
from the given download link at the 
"download" section at the top most part of this 
post.




(17.) Keep on designing it until you feel comfortable about
what it looks. Grab your "Selection Tool"> Right click on your selected
area> Click Deselect


(18.) Right click on your text's layer (layer 1)> Click Blending Options


(20.) (I skipped number 19. lol..) This window will appear,
Click on the word "Stroke", not the box beside it. Adjust its size if you want &
change its color...Position: Outside, Blend Mode: Normal,
Opacity: 100% (as always) & fill type: color> then click OK



(21.)Right click on your text's layer (layer 1)> click "Duplicate Layer"
>Click OK

(22.) Your text's layer (layer 1) will now have a copy, 
"layer 1 copy", place it below layer 1. Right Click on your text layer's  copy
(Layer 1 copy)
(23.) Click Blending Options


(24.) Now this window will appear, this time Double 
its size, example, your original text's layer's (which is layer 1)
stroke size is 3 px, then in your text's layer's copy,
its stroke size must be 6px. Choose a different color while
the Position, Blend Mode, Opacity & Fill Mode stays the same.


(25.) This will become the result.........In the next tutorial,
I'll show you how to add more effect on your text :3..

Tutorial 2: *COMING SOON*
