    We're back, baby! I have a few things I'd like to share with y'all that I wasn't able to during my trip.  First, here's a drawing I finished while at my sister's house.  It's essentially my interpretation of an angel. I was considering doing this as my halloween costume but I don't really think I have the materials or time...or any real reason to dress up on halloween, honestly. I kinda gave up on the dress because I did NOT want to draw all the ruffles I had originally planned, but I'm happy with it overall.      We also went to a concert while I was there. Well, I did anyway. I did get my sister a ticket, but she didn't like the type of music that was being played so she was at a Panera 2 miles away. Appleseed, one of the bands that was playing, is actually from Las Vegas, funnily enough.  Here's some photos from that.  Slane Stewart Diva Bleach Appleseed Cheerleader Roadkill      We also went to a farmers' market, where ...

     Hey, y'all! Sorry for the whack ass blog schedule. I was visted my sister last week, and my flights got delayed both ways. Getting to my sister was the WORST! Somehow, every flight in my route (my first flight, my original connection, AND the rebooking of that connection) got delayed. I ended up arriving 8 hours after I was supposed to and all they gave me to compensate was a pair of $12 meal vouchers. In the end, one of them didn't even work. American Airlines has literally been around for a century, you'd think they'd have their shit a little bit more together. Anyway, the trip was fun but I am definitely glad to be home. My blog posts should be regular again starting this upcoming Sunday. I also quite a few things that I'm excited to share, but I'm too tired from flying to write it all and download all the images right now. So, that will have to come next time. Bye for now!

      Does anyone else hoard hobbies? As in like, constantly bouncing between different pastimes and just wanting to do everything. Obviously I like drawing and sewing and such, but I also like:  Collecting physical media (Records, CDs, Cassettes, DVDs, Zines... all of it, really)  Making homemade recycled paper Baking/Cooking Making jewelry  and these are just the ones I do right now. I've also been considering getting into wig making. I think my constant need to do different hobbies comes from me never really being able to do stuff when I was younger. My parents didn't necessarily forbid me from doing anything, but our family's lifestyle did make it quite hard to enjoy anything consistently. We were always moving, which made it hard to keep hobbies. My parents also constantly complained about my hobbies being too messy, too expensive, too time consuming, etc... This has pretty much made me do all the hobby hopping you'd usually do as a child much later in...

     Things are not going well. My grandma's Parkinsons has progressed pretty far, they don't even give her two full weeks. This feels like such a strange thing to shout into the digital void for a random number of strangers to read, but I don't really have anyone else. I didn't really spend a lot of time with her, so we aren't really that close. It's just a lot to have all this in your face like this. I just hope that she goes swiftly and without pain. That's about all I have right now. School's going fine, but there's not too much interesting stuff to share currently. Bye for now...

 This week has lowkey been rough as shit. I don't wanna trauma dump, so we're not gonna get into it. Anyway, here's an upcycled top I made for my Sustainable Fashion class. It's very jank because I'm still kinda new to all of this, and I haven't fully sewn it together. I think the vision is there, though.       I wish I had anything actually interesting to share this week, but it's mostly just been the same old shit. I'm going to visit my sister soon, which is kinda fun...but that's about it.I'll be sure to share anything interesting that happens during my trip.        Anyway, I need to go clean some shit. Bye for now!

     It is...so...UNGODLY HOT here. Temperatures have been 100F+ pretty consistently and it's MISERABLE! One good (but not really) thing I've learned is that oven-bake clay turns soft in heat, even after baking it. I almost had a full-on crash out because my assignment literally broke in half right after I finished taking the needed pictures. I was able to glue it back together once I brought it inside to cool off, so it wasn't TOO bad, but it sucked in the moment. Here's the assignment in question. What is it supposed to be? No clue to be honest. The assignment was to sculpt something that represented the artistic principle of rhythm and this is what I got. I do like how it looks like it's hardcore sideeyeing the viewer despite being faceless. It's pretty funny.        Next term I start my Technical Studio class, which means I'll actually get to the sewing stuff. I'm really excited (and a bit scared of the large, loud industrial sewing machine I'...

 My original blog draft got yeeted by lurk and I don't feel like trying to remember and retype it, so we're gonna pivot in an on-theme fashion. For a long time, I was very rigid in my ideas and would become inconsolable if they had to change for any reason. I wanted everything to go exactly how it did in my head, and if it didn't, my whole world came crashing down. I've slowly learned to get over this, realizing that the ability to adapt would only strengthen my creative process. I'm nowhere near perfect, but I've come a long way in managing my emotions and redirecting.    So, if you're ever upset by something not working how you want it to, just remember: Your life will evolve, Your work will evolve. YOU will evolve. VERY short post this week... but technically if you count the yeeted draft I wrote like twice this much lol. Bye for now!
