Hello again

I hope the week has taken good care of you <3

My last week: more progress on a few traditional pieces! 

Trying to not start a bunch of projects only to finish none of them, but I'm trying to work with momentum

ᴺᵉˣᵗ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: ᴴᵃˡˡᵒʷᵉᵉⁿ ᶜᵒˢᵗᵘᵐᵉˢ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʳᵃᵈⁱᵗⁱᵒⁿᵃˡ ᵃʳᵗ

So, Liam and i have a few different ideas for Halloween costumes this year! We plan to DIY and dress up throughout October. A few ensembles are going to require a bit of searching, but hopefully I can put a few together with the time I've got. I'll post updates when parts become more cohesive.

Other than that, more painting and another look at my goal list and make a plan ( x __ x )

good evening <3

I spent most of last week working on a paper doll outline

This is “Marianne”

I like how she turned out overall :-) the current outline is in pencil, but I made a copy to cut up and test. I used colored pencil for her clothes. Accessories and apparel are supposed to be secured by the black and white tabs. I found that a few garments were cut a little small, and I’d need to re-draw the stand, but it wasn’t a bad first attempt. I may make her a little bigger for ease in cutting her from the paper.

I also debated whether to leave her as a bit of line-art or add color to her complete outline. I kind of like the idea of being able to customize her completely.

I figured if I liked the turnout once she’s done, maybe I’d work on more dolls with different names and outfits. I’m considering putting more work into it this week if I have some time. 

I also did a little doodling in my down time. Hoping to do a little drawing every night - even if it's not great, even if it's brief <3

next week: maybe work on paper dolls? also probably some painting

I'm finally feeling a little motivation to work on some canvas works in progress, so I'll probably do some painting. Maybe re-size and print a new, better copy of Marianne.

I need to revisit my goal list "(っ- ‸ - ς)ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁

X!! O!! X!! O!!

p. s. here are some glimpses into my brief trip to Joshua ₊˚⊹☆

p.p.s there are a few little spooky additions to the stay a while page - check it out, scaredy cats .˚⊹.🎃₊˚𖦹⋆

Hey! The site went through a pretty big migration and posting was finicky so I figured I’d skip a week. I missed you <3

I recently got these really pretty buttons from the discount store and have been putting them to good use. I added some to hair clips, and made a few into pendants and necklaces. I’ll probably sew some to some bags or shirts of mine too. 

I also stamped a few personal projects <3

Next week: paper dolls & maybe more

I want to work on something that isn’t painting or clothes for a bit so I’m going to pick up another project. It’s likely I’ll also be busy and out of the house a few days next week, so ideally nothing too lengthy. I’ve wanted to make paper fashion dolls for a while now so maybe I’ll make a mock-up for one. I made a loose outline of a model and some outfits so maybe I can put something together by the end of the week. 

I also might start a new chuck e cheese project if I can find the motivation.

we'll see

Additionally, there 's some new stuff on the stay a while page too, check it out if you’d like :-)

til then

thanks for stopping by

XOXOXOXO
