crochet like a mutha

Good evening loves


I have a wedding to attend in 3 days and I have done barely anything for their gift that I'm making them


oh.....crap oh crap...ooooooh crap


No worries I'll finish I just gotta get my behind in gear...like right now!!! Waaah


So day...uh...22? Yeah Day 22 and 23 of 365, here are the pieces I submitted for the project I mentioned yesterday. I think it's okay to show them because they wont be used...

So I admit, the guy looks like his eyes are lifeless...and I don't even know if that's his real eye color (in the pic, he was doing the smile squint so who knows)

Also I think I'm going to start using Corel Painter a lot more...it's got awesome tools in it...seriously.

Sorry, I forgot again what I was going to talk about today haaa

Till next time suckas

Peace

a shocker

Yesterday was a fluke, I'm sorry.


I've now realized how talent is measured. I kinda slightly bombed a big chance I had all because of the level of skill I have as an artist.


I can't copy...I just can't do it. Even since I was little, I've never been able to copy other styles of art.


So because of that I believe I've lost an opportunity, but it was good to at least be able to realize this. There's nothing wrong that seeing something and wanting something like that in return


I'm just not your girl for that job....oh well...I will keep pressing on


So this frustration was taken out on the logo I've been trying to make. I had already drawn this once and it was so awesome...but suddenly that sketchbook that I needed disappeared!! Aargh!!! And now we're left with the crappy second version. Once I find that book, you'll get the better logo. I've been planning on making a banner for this blog and my Etsy store for a while...I just need to find that book...and Lord knows where it's at


Bluh


So, Day 21 of 365 (by tomorrow we'll catch up...promise)

.....I really need to find that other sketchbook. 


Till next time suckas

4th o July

Happy 234th Birthday United States


whoo fireworks


hotdogs


more fireworks!!


I have to admit, 4th of July always makes me excited...because of the fireworks. And this is the ONLY day we put aside our political opinions and join as one as Americans...too bad it couldn't always be that way (I am totally beefing with a certain party right now...and no, I don't claim a party, thanks)


Man I really want to get some fireworks...just the kiddie ones, I don't trust myself lighting the ones that you know...actually fly off..I've never lit one before.........


I have a special remake outfit that I'm wearing today! It went from 80s atrocious to well hopefully 40s chic 


Hopefully


Speaking of 40s this takes us to a special Day 20 of 365!!! Happy Independence Day, America...she says

I LOVE pin-up art...it's so cute, I love it. So I made Haru a celebratory pin-up doll.

Yes, there are not enough stripes on the flag

and I'm sure the star count is off..give or take

I love her bathing suit...it's so much more subtle than say a bright red or blue suit that you'd normally see on this day..nothing wrong with those colors, but white is a big part of the flag too!!

Till next time suckas

Happy 4th o July

Peace

untitled

Yeah so I didn't think of a topic for today...I have my topic for tomorrow though! Does that count?? Can you guess what it is?


My mother suggested I open a store selling both vintage clothing, my own clothing line, and probably vintage clothing that I remake from ew to fabulous.


I think I'm going to do it...but she meant a stand alone store


Ha ha....I dunno bout all that...we'll see. I should start selling some things by August my lovelies


Anyway! Down to business Day 18 and 19 (now we're all caught up) of 365...second part of my work in progress, Javia and Sadee

I really like Javia...she's sassy...I like sassy (before it gets bitchy...if you know what I mean). Yes yes, you've already seen this dress...but look at Sadee! The skirt is new! I'm actually going to make that skirt for myself...so I can have a going out skirt because I definitely lack that. I'll post it once I'm finished!


Apologies for the grey...and the sketchiness..it'll be so much prettier when it's done! (the work in progress)


Ok I really need to shower...I worked out and had other stuff to do...ewwwww


Till next time suckas


Peace

last two days what?

Okay, so I realize I didn't post for the past two days. Wednesday I was a mess finishing up my clothes for the photoshoot, and yesterday was the photoshoot.


It was awesome..and I even got to see a good friend for a couple of hours before getting ripped off in a parking garage (..I'm not THAT bitter about it..ha...ha). Once I get the photos I will be posting them up. I saw some of them when we were taking them and they are AWESOME!


All right so even though this is technically Day 18, I'm counting this as a make-up of 16 and 17 


...what I drew 2 drawings!


Ok so Day 16 and 17 of 365, a work in progress (it'll probably be done tomorrow or Monday)

For those who have seen my portfolio you will soon recognize where these outfits are from. Hey I had some extra fabric left so it's what I used for the shoot. The dress on Evan (on the right) is one of the 2 dresses from the shoot. 

This will be a special treat when I'm finished....yes.

Till next time suckas!

Peace

the hoarder

I have a confession to make....I am a fabric hoarder.


Now, I know what you're thinking...you sew! Yes this is true...but it's starting to get bad


If this continues you will be seeing me on t.v. surrounded by bags and boxes filled with fabric (and scraps of fabric) my poor turtles will be shoved in a corner and I'll keep saying things like 'I'll use it soon!', 'You can't throw out fabric you'll never know what it could be used for!!'


this is going to be in about a year.


So I've started to moderate myself...only getting what I need and what I know I'll use in at least 3 months...


At the moment I have nearly as much fabric as I do clothes (and I have alot of clothes...)


Turtle update: They swim at me now! When I turn over in bed or when I sit on the edge of my bed they will swim towards me...it's SO cute!


All right you almost didn't get a drawing today but it's been a trying day sewing wise so I want to do anything else BUT that ha ha..haa....Day 15 of 365

It's Haru! In a lace white shoulder dress I'm thinking about making for myself...we'll see about that haha

If anyone wants this dress for themselves...just ask. I will make it...(thus the whole fabric topic)

Till next time suckas

Peace

creativity cramp

Sorry, no time for a real drawing today...and yes I know..I am aware today is the colored picture day. Well I'll give you 2 next week..how about that?


This dress is killing me...spent all day on it and didn't get anywhere really. So I've given up and I'm just going to go with my first idea...no point in stretching THAT out...


Day 14 of 365, this is how I feel right now

Yup...pretty blah.


Till next time suckas


Peace


(I promise after the 1st the posts wont be so lackluster....)
