    future unicorn project & some painting progress

    paintingprogress

    ⋆·˚ ༘ * hello hello ⋆·˚ ༘ *

    Here are a few doodles, and the outline to an untitled unicorn project I hope to start within the month :-)

    The plan is a paper Mache unicorn- structured with a cardboard frame/skeleton. I still have to work out some details, and i have no idea where I'd keep them once completed, but It sounds like so much fun. I've never made a piece as large as I plan to make this one, so I think it'd be a fun challenge.

    When the plans start looking more concrete, I'll be sure to share. Maybe in the meantime I'll brainstorm and start some smaller projects. I had a few ideas for personal pieces I'd display in the apartment <3

    p.s - the song that inspired my few little doodles ♡ VVV

    Additionally, I got a chance to do some painting last week !!

    “Semi- real” , “untitled”, and I finally put time into “Niphetos”! 

    I like the way these are turning out and the plan is to finish these 3 this upcoming week <3 It feels like kind of a tall ask now, but the progress I made on these feels tangible to me. The vision of how I’d like for them to turn out feels achievable. Here’s to getting these to satisfactory completion, and to starting many many more.

    I feel like doing some bleach painting this week so along with finishing the three canvases, that’s the plan <3 If I’m good with my time I’d love to do more work on apparel outside of that. Hoping for a fruitful week!

    I hope yours is fruitful as well.

    Thank you for taking the time to stop by- I appreciate you so much

    holiday garland is nearly done and painting progress

    diy diyholiday paintingprogress doodles

    Happy Tuesday <3

    glad to be back! 

    The fabric garland I was working on is now hanging in my dining room <3 It’s not completely finished yet but I like the idea of adding pieces perpetually. There’s still room on the string for plenty more. I’ll probably find a good stopping point this week and keep it up throughout the holidays. 

    I also spent time on a few canvases. I have a better idea of how I want “Semi-real” (first picture) to turn out. I’m still figuring out placement and will work on it more this upcoming week.



    I’m a little stuck on the untitled unicorn/red bull piece, but will work on it more too.


    Finally, I decided I wanted to re-work the face in my untitled sunscreen painting. 

    between the bigger projects i did a little drawing as well.

    

    i need to practice on realism with more reference pictures, but i love drawing whatever i want most of all.

    Lastly, I stamped this headband with the new letter stamps I got from the thrift store :D I love the font and think it’d be cute to color In the letters. 

    ᵗʰⁱˢ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: 

    𝖼𝗋𝖺𝖿𝗍: 𝖿𝗂𝗇𝗂𝗌𝗁 𝖺𝖽𝖽𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗍𝗈 𝗀𝖺𝗋𝗅𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗒𝖾𝖺𝗋 

    𝗉𝖺𝗂𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌: “𝖲𝖾𝗆𝗂-𝗋𝖾𝖺𝗅” , “𝗎𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗍𝗅𝖾𝖽 𝗎𝗇𝗂𝖼𝗈𝗋𝗇” , “𝗎𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗍𝗅𝖾𝖽 𝗌𝗎𝗇𝗌𝖼𝗋𝖾𝖾𝗇”, 𝗁𝗈𝗉𝖾𝖿𝗎𝗅𝗅𝗒 “𝖭𝗂𝗉𝗁𝖾𝗍𝗈𝗌”


    between putting more time into the canvases, I really hope to do more drawing- I think it needs to be an everyday thing.

     

    Wish me luck

     

    Thank you for stopping by

    I hope you and yours have a very lovely holiday ♡

    Finishing diy costumes and progress on paintings

    diycostume diy halloween paintingprogress wip

    ᴴᵉˡˡᵒ ʰᵉˡˡᵒ ʰᵉˡˡᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ

    I’ll be out of town next weekend so I tried to keep busy during this last week

    Sooo I worked on a few unexpected side projects this week- they’re different than the ones I had worked on a few weeks back. I won’t be able to share them here yet, but may eventually do so- I like how they turned out :-)

    October is kind of leaving without me; I can’t believe we’re already about halfway through the month and I haven’t posted my costumes yet :,O

    That being said, I am nearly finished! I saved the longest project for last and will be cutting bear ears into a pink beanie for my gloomy bear look. I already started and like how one ear has turned out. Some of the brown thread I use is a little visible which I thought would be cute, but now I’m debating whether I commit to it. Will be deciding on that and finishing up the project asap 

    I’m nearly finished with the FNAF masks too <3 Customizing these masks was so much fun, I have to do it again. I have a few other costume ideas I’ve been idealizing for a while but only now does it feel like a doable project. When those happen, I’ll be sure to post those as well.

    I finally even put time into my doodle covered canvas! I think I just want to touch up the skin tone on the center character but after may call it done. I still don’t have a title, so this is still untitled. Acrylic paint, pen, and crayon on stretched canvas. All the smaller surrounding characters and doodles are some of my earlier drawings. I think about 2003-2007 <3 

    I also made some pretty big changes to another untitled piece I’ve been working on inspired by chewing gum. I’m thinking I’ll expand the idea to involve gumballs as well as other quarter machine goods. I want to include some outlines of sqwishland because they hold a special spot in my heart. This is where I’m at now.

    (nothing new on niphetos,,…. ,., maybe when I’m back from my trip)

    next week: doodling? probably portable projects :V

    I'll probably be keep projects small and fleeting because i'll be traveling a bit. Will definitely bring a sketchbook and current reading material to keep myself busy.


    Will see you next time with some costume pics <3


    Thanks for stopping by
