Kandi

I think the most common question I get from people who know I make kandi is how I get the perfect kandi knot. Although I’d love to be able to just use one knot, the reality is there isn’t any one “perfect” kandi knot. It’s all about knowing which knot to use in what situation. Here is a list of some of my favorite kandi knots!

For the second year in a row Woogie Weekend has left me feeling like it’s a cannot miss festival of SoCal. The DoLab is the curator of good vibes, and let me tell you, they were great at Woogie. The festival was more vibrant and more full than its first year and it’s exciting to see how it has grown. Some highlights of the weekends included this giant slip and slide, the way each stage lit up at night, and the new friends I got to meet. 

Instagram is a powerful social media platform that connects ravers from all over the world through beautifully presented photos. I love going through event hashtags to reconnect with ravers I had met and traded with when I forget to exchange contact information. Sometimes you’re meant to only cross paths with a person once, but sometimes those small interactions blossom into friendship. 

First time ravers have so much to look forward to! Being at a rave is such a unique experience, and everybody always remembers their first one. But sometimes going to your first rave is so different than anything else you have ever been to and you get so overwhelmed with excitement that you aren’t always fully prepared. Don’t worry, we love to make sure all the rave babies have the best time possible. 

What makes Insomniac one of the best would be their emphasis on the importance of its headliners: YOU! By attending their festivals, we make it possible for them to exist and allow for them to put on some of the best productions to date. Without us, who would they make the insane fireworks display for? Who would the performers dance for? Who would the DJ’s play for? Without the people of Insomniac, nothing would be possible.

Hey guys, I’m back with another lovely tutorial for you all. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the studio, but I’m happy to be back. We’ve gotten a lot of requests for this surgical kandi mask and I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you! I know a mask is a little difficult to create and it may take a while, but don’t get frustrated and if you get lost or have any questions at all, please leave me a comment and I’ll get back to you. If you’d like to see a particular tutorial, let us know! 

Hey guys and gals, I’m Rose The Raver with iHeartRaves  and today I’m going to be teaching you how to make a 3D cuff. 3D cuffs start out with a simple X-based cuff and then can be built out to create multiple layers and for a fun 3D look.  Typically there is some kind of small toy, charm or even a perler that gets added to the finished project.
