    Good evening and happy Monday !!

    I had a full week last week

    ᗰOᑎᗪᗩY

    I decorated a little trinket shelf for my wall <3 

    TᑌEᔕᗪᗩY & ᗯEᗪᑎEᔕᗪᗩY

    I caught up on some reading: I’ve finished up Lord of the Flies and Clockwork Orange and have now started on Make room! Make room! By Harry Harrison and Tender is the flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.


    I also did some drawing in the sketchbook

    ((last one is old, i just felt like re-visiting))

    TᕼᑌᖇᔕᗪᗩY 

    I finished painting the chicken purse strap!

    I spray painted grey stripes onto my hoodie’s hood. I think I’d like black better, though, so I’ll be spraying it again when I get the chance.

    I also added more faces to the yellow maxi dress. I’ll probably replicate the design on the back and add another pattern along the left side to better conceal the stain D: 

    VVVVV the song that carried me into the weekend / great hula hooping track

    I inherited more cans from Miriah today!! (thank you again <3) My cup runneth over with cute materials so I’ll be using them every chance I get. 

    I tried something new to me, and used a few cans to put together a framed piece using a stained glass pattern. This is the first time I’ve done this and I think I like the outcome? I feel like it could be a little more structured in its’ appearance, though. I was thinking of adding a black outline to the individual shapes with a marker. I also considered trimming the pieces so that they’re not touching- so then it looks as if it has a white outline. I think that may look more cohesive. I might try the latter

    I also cut up a few cute monster cans in what I hope turns out to be a cute set of earrings and maybe a little charm bracelet? I love the designs on these in particular. I have some ideas, but will definitely be experimenting with materials ^^ I made a few little butterflies, too - those will need some work aswell but I think they’re cute so far ♡ ♡ ♡

    Had so much fun hula hooping at the park. It was hot and beautiful out and I’m getting so much better at walking back and forth while I hoop. I can also hoop while I stand on one leg. It occurred to me that in my first blog post I reference that ability as a goal of mine! Consider it achieved :,O

    When I got home I made this small panda stamp. I still have to carve its’ outline but I think it turned out so cute. I’ll definitely be adding it to my tote bag.

    ᴺᵉˣᵗ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: new project? More can art and better drawings

    I have a new project idea and I really want to start. It’s another paper mache piece, and while I do have 2 I’m currently working on. . . I’m probably still gonna start it (: will update with progress if I make any ⋆｡°✩


    I'll keep cutting up cans too, and give some new ideas a try there.


    I want to do more drawing as well - ideally drawings i like better because i didn't love what i got from last week :|

    finishing stamps, hoodie progress and the final layers of the Cec project

    chuckecheese personalapparel personalprojects stamps wip

    Hellooooo hello hello ❤︎⁠

    I have stamp progress from last week :-)


    I finished the 2 Aquapets stamps, and i love how they turned out!

    Image description

    I did some customizing on 2 of my hoodies in progress, too. These have been such fun projects.

    Tomorrow I’ll be adding some drawings to the front of the grey hoodie. After, I’ll do a little stamping, and add more quotes from my immortal. If I have some time I’ll probably spray paint black stripes on the hood too. 


    I'll probably keep peppering the purple hoodie with stamps and lyrics. I kind of want them both to be covered with odds and ends <3

    ... .. . . . . . ....... . .. . .. .......... . .. . ... . .. ... . .. . .... . .. ... .. . . .. .. . .. .. . . . . ...... . . . .... .. . . ..... . .. . . .. . .. .

    Lastly, I got the chance to meet up with a local crafting group and added some layers to the Chuck e cheese plaque! It’s really taking shape, so that’s been cool to see. I keep telling myself I’ll finish it in the next few days, and never do. I think I need to go back to enjoying this project instead of just anticipating it’s finished product. I have just a few more additions to make before I start the sanding stage. After that, it’ll be paint, and the addition of a saw tooth hanger to display it on the wall. I’ll keep at it without being so hung up on wrapping it up (although I’m sure I’m nearing its completion)

    ᵀᴴᴵˢ ᵂᴱᴱᴷ: I think I’m just gonna do a lot of drawing. I’ll probably add those additional touches to the hoodie projects too. 

    I’ve also considered a new format for blog entries? Maybe not permanently, maybe not every single week but idk I think i could afford to shake it up a little.

    I hope to see you there! And I hope you’re doing well


    Thank you for stopping by for this one <3 I appreciate you sm

    last of the wearables & some new ideas

    stamps
    good afternoon & happy tuesday !
    wrapping up a week of wearables! most stuff is still curing/being ran through the wash so i don't have much to share as far as clothed go- maybe i'll share those wrapped up pieces in a future post ✧*
    ​
    It’s fun to work on apparel. It can be kind of an unforgiving medium, but it’s cool to be able to wear your art. Of course, i didn't finish every piece in the pile, but I'll be back to working on clothes before I know it. 

    ​​I also finished a few stamps- some of the ones I mentioned in my last post, as well as a few others. I like how they turned out and anticipate using them in future projects <3    ​
    Picture
    ᑎE᙭T ᗯEEK: collage, canvases, and etc. .. . .. . .. .. .. ..
    ​After weeks of working on wearable projects, I honestly can’t wait to get back to working on other traditional pieces. I have plans to completely finish some collages with handmade borders. I considered a few of these finished before, but the more I looked at them, the less finished they felt. I have some ideas though- I’ll probably use shrink plastic and maybe some fabric. I still never got around to taking apart those old jewelry pieces, so I’ll probably do that busy work and start new pieces all together. I’ll share progress on those next week- I think I’ll be able to finish them ^^
    ​Additionally, I can’t wait to put more time into working on my last large canvas piece (still untitled). I’m still messing with the layout, but I’m really excited to move past setup and actually put color on canvas. It's not much to look at now- will hopefully have more worthwhile pictures to share next week. <3
    ​​
    Also, I don’t know if it’s worth sharing just yet, but I have another new project in mind. I loved making the paper mache cat head for my kitchen so much, I want to start on something new.. . . something chuck e cheese related.  (specifically 1970's Chuck e cheese portrait style animatronic). Thing about me #2: I like Chuck e cheese. I may have shared that before, or maybe not I don’t remember. 

    anyway
    ​til next time

    thank you for stopping by and looking all cute while doing so
