    Still not much to report. I've gotten pretty settled in, though my stuff is still kinda all over the place. I got my cat one of those litter robot automatic litter boxes, and it's honestly such a game changer. I always struggled to keep scooping the litter a consistent part of my schedule, but now I just have to make sure there's enough litter and empty out a tray once a week or so. Here's a picture of the special baby with the fancy shitter. His real name is Castiel, but all my friends and I call him Beebis.

    I also don't have much art related stuff to share, my classes aren't really drawing heavy right now and my craft room is nowhere near organized enough to do stuff in. However, I do have one little drawing to share from my Sustainable Fashion course. The looks themselves are pretty basic, the main thing was the textiles being used. One really cool one I found during my research is called Shiringa Bio-leather. It's a woven cotton fabric coated in natural latex harvested regeneratively by the Ajuwan people of The Amazon. It's naturally water-repellant, biodegradable, and overall just a really cool fabric. I really like how the production of Shiringa helps provide jobs for Indigenous communities and keep the ecosystem safe. 

      I also wonder why we don't utilize hemp fiber in textiles more when its better than cotton in pretty much EVERY WAY! (well I KNOW why, I just think it's dumb.) We're sitting here refusing to better our agricultural practices all because "ooga booga drugs bad." Mind you: 

1: Weed is nowhere near harmful enough to warrant this fuckass behaviour

2: Industrial hemp doesn't even have enough THC to get high off of! It literally has 0.03% or less by volume.

    Anyway, I'm gonna end my rant here before I'm typing all night. Bye for now!

      I don't have too much to share this week. I finished the primary patch sewing for my soda can pants, now I just need to add the can tabs how I want them. I haven't started on that yet, but I'll be sure to post pictures when I do!      School's been going pretty well. In my fashion design class, we have to go through the process of designing a hypothetical collection for a pre-existing brand —  brand research, theme boards, design mockups, the whole process. Honestly, I've always found projects like this uninteresting. Not because I don't think they provide valuable insight into the topic, but because I've never been good at leaning into others' aesthetics. Like, I have to research this company's "brand DNA" in order to make a suitable collection for their target customer, but what about *my* brand DNA, you know? I don't want to have to fit my creativity into the confines of some industry nonsense. My target customer is me and peop...

 Hello! I'm so excited to post my first blog post for y'all! My goal is to update the blog and weekly song every sunday. I'll mostly be posting about things that I'm working on, but I might also just ramble about my day if I have nothing else to report.       Currently, I'm working on using cut up soda cans to patch/embellish my clothing. I've actually been working on this for a while, but I've only recently started making notable progress. Here's an image of the pants I've been working on!  I also plan to sew the can tabs to the other pocket kinda like sequins or something, but I want to get the main sewing done first. I'll be sure to add the finished product to my gallery!      Well, that's all I have for now. Classes start back up on Monday, so I have to prepare for that. Bye for now!

     Yesterday was my birthday. I had gotten my hair done the day prior, but I didn't really do much on the actual day, just got boba and did school work. Here's a picture of my new hair (it looks a lot brighter in better lighting, lol). Can you tell I'm REALLY into the black/yellow color scheme? Anyway, I've never really celebrated my birthday. I've just never really had the funds or the social circle to have a proper party.       The last time I threw anything even remotely like a birthday party was my 10th birthday. We lived in Florida at the time, and the "party" consisted of me, my parents, and two friends from school. We walked around downtown St. Augustine and went on one of those weird historical tour things where all the tour guides are in character and stuff. We also ate at this really good taco shop called A1A Burrito Works, I miss that place. It sucks that they only exist in Florida.          Also, about the b...
