    cat head is finished & more wearables

    apparel papermache
    Happy Monday !!
    ​I’ve had a fun week! I took a lot of walks and worked on a lot of projects <3
    ​First off, I finished the paper mache cat head décor and food accessories I was working on :)

    ​​I love how everything turned out so much. Idk I may refine the food pieces if I have a second, or even make a 4th food just to balance it out, but I’m happy with her. The practice I got making this definitely gave me some fun ideas for future sculptures/paper mache pieces- I can see myself working on another, or even just outlining some ideas really soon.
    Picture
    After wrapping up the cat head project, I did just a bit of stamping/drawing on some current projects. My last water soluble marker dried up on me, so I’ll be working on outlining and designing once I get more in the mail this weekend.
    this was all that felt worthwhile to share so far, but i have a lot planned after i get some new markers. These are all personal projects, but have some Die laughing projects in the WIP stack too, so those will make an appearance next week as well :)

    happy first of the month!

    happy monday & first of the month! : )
    ​I have a few projects to share. I was able to stay consistent this week and got a lot finished, or very near so. The WIP box is kind of right where I want it right now- most of what’s left is going to need some extra brainstorming and attention so I’m officially putting it on the back burner!!  
    ​I also started and nearly finished something entirely new I’ve had my mind for some time. I haven’t done anything paper mache in a while and thought it’d be fun, so I got to work on a little side project. I think I mentioned it previously but I had a spot on my kitchen wall I wanted filled and figured I’d make something to fit the space. I initially wanted to work on a plaque and use atomic-style cats as inspo but opted for a paper mache cat head in this case instead. She’s of course reminiscent of my sweet senior, pina <3 

    ​She’s not totally finished- I definitely need to smooth over some rough edges and do more painting but i like how she's turning out. I didn’t really take progress pictures so this’ll be a look at the rough draft before completion. Once the head’s done I plan to make a small tomato, sausage and sardine to sit on the wall just to the left of her. I think she’s cute and like how large I made her eyes. I think I like my little crafts this week. 
    The next 2 weeks: all wearables
    I’m feeling relatively capable after a week of working on projects every day, so I think I’ll spend the next few weeks going through another big stack of projects. I have apparel (personal projects and otherwise) I really want to spend time on. I need to work on planning, hand-drawing, spray-painting and some stamping so I’ll probably assign a day for each task so I don’t feel rushed. 
    Hopefully I’m as motivated with these projects as I was with last week’s 

    p.s. new stuff on the stay a while page <3
