    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.

    We also went to a farmers' market, where I got these sick ass earrings. They're made with real snake vertebrae, ethically sourced, of course. You can find them and other cool stuff at https://www.thelostluna.com.
    In more recent news,  I went to the Goodwill bins today and got a bunch of stuff that I plan to upcycle. My goal is to eventually start a business selling upcycled garments as well as my own original designs. 

    That's about all I have this week, I'll be sure to show y'all what I make with my Goodwill finds. 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...
