All right! Now that all my intense research is done, I've designed my 7 piece capsule Fall 2010 line!! Yay! I'm really sorry, I'm getting super busy now...and since I have exactly a month left till the move it's going to be even worse. But I will be drawing in my spare time!!! I wanted to get out this set of illustrations out before I leave but we'll see. You will see them though do not despair!

If you're a little confused, pretty much like how photographers do photoshoots, I draw out scenes for my illustration...makes it less boring. They're in full color..backgrounds and EVERYTHING. The works!

Well I'm excited at least

Not as excited though than I am about moving! Waahh! I can't believe it's only a month away! I'm starting to feel the pressure and looking around my room makes me feel even more pressure...I will get all this stuff into my car! I HAVE to!!

Another thing, I will be starting my quilt very soon! I am collecting fabric...unfortunately I'm pretty broke so I don't have much to spend with...I'm hoping I will come up on some cheap fabric to make this thing. It's going to be huge! 84x96! And I have to have it done by the time I leave oooooooor I won't have anything to cover my bed!

That won't be much fun.

Well, even though I have been depriving everyone of illustrations...they're back!! I'll give you a little description for this line. Each piece is based off a bird. Yes, birds. Combined with the smooth styling of the 70s and my own  touch of femininity, I give you 'Hardwire'

Day 36 of 365, Red Winged Blackbird

I'm pretty excited to make this dress! I am trying my best to use upcycled and vintage materials to make this line (so far so good!). This dress will be black velvet and will have a nice beaded belt in the front  (cross straps wrap around into the belt!)

Till next time suckas!

Peace

love and marriage

Right off the bat...no I'm not in love with any man (yet...let God handle that) nor am I getting married


but two kids I know, great awesome kids just did (and they're kids because you know they're younger than me...they're both in college) I was going to try to post this blog beforehand but I didn't have time because I am very slow...so here we are.


I didn't get pictures sadly because well...my camera fell on the ground on the 4th and the batteries wont stay in. BOGUS!


This wedding was a trial for me, that in getting prepared for it. I was planning on and was actually making a crochet kitchen set

and it bombed. So at the very last minute after screaming in frustration, I busted out the gift I actually gave them (plus a nice gift card :- ) )


Here's their gift and also Day 26 of 365 Aaron and Amy


First their gift

This was the best picture out of the group I took haha...stupid camera. I made the groom (Aaron) a crochet bowtie and I made the bride (Amy) a rose hair pin, also crochet. I was going to do something different with the picture but it turned out so much bigger than I thought (the rose and tie). 

I wish I would have known the theme beforehand because then I would have been able to match it with their gifts (blue and silver, with sunflowers...super cute)

And now day 26 of 365, Aaron and Amy's wedding portrait

The likeness is uncanny.

Well that's it for today! Also, I almost caught the bouquet...and by almost I mean it was in my hand, gripped and ready to pull down and someone took it from me. It's ok, she actually has a boyfriend. Though...really I was so close! Ha ha ha oh well, next time Chadae. It was an awesome wedding and I saw alot of people I haven't seen it years...I had an awesome time!!!

Till next time suckas

Peace

you know...

I'm going to rethink this homemade gift giving thing


I think it's because I'm not confident that they will like it


....so it ends up getting messed up


*frustration*


BUT I have to finish because I have nothing else to give or any time to go get something proper.




Ok, so since I'm busy crocheting like a mad woman...I actually took TOO much time out to draw. You'll get your colored pictures after the wedding...I'm sorry...I'll do a week straight of color pictures


(but don't be surprised if I don't...I'm so unreliable sometimes...)


Day 24 of 365, meet Coren! She is supposed to be a kid..but I aged her a little...alot...Childrenswear is awesome, but I think tweens are cool too...not personally, far too much attitude to still be children (10-12 year olds)

After this week I'll go back to lining the drawings as well...no more sketchy pencils play offs...I swear

Till next time suckas

Peace

stage 2: still busy

Good Lord does time fly when you have things to do...


Though I must say it is weird having a deadline but having all the time to do it...I could stay up all night if I want


Let's see if I say that tomorrow and Tuesday when it's strictly sewing days.


I really think I'm going to start making homemade gifts for folks. I went to a bridal shower today, and I made everything I gave her (except the incense) even the bag I made! Ho hoooo crafty crafty me


Ok down to business because I would like to get started on sewing and I'm still cutting out facing (guh...takes me forEVER to pattern and cut!)


Day 13 of 365, I suppose I'll introduce the boys sporadically at the moment...by next week I'll be introducing them one after the other (and I'll do the kids next week too!..there are only 2 guys after this one)


This is Rain 

All right so I'm not putting myself down, but my girls are definitely better than my boys. So this will definitely be a journey of improvement on drawing males (and their broad shoulders, square hands and faces...BUH!)

Till next time suckas!

Peace
