Sewing Portfolio and Fashion Arts

  Fashion and Sewing Listen to this: "Disparate Youth" Santigold I have been wanting to get into costume, alterations and sewing in a more collaborative way. Theaters, performance art, anything. I have sewn since I can remember. I don't know of a time I did not make clothing, house hold items, soft sculptures and doll things/toys.  I put a portfolio together on a Google Doc. Most of the projects are soooo old!! I look like a baby in my early 20s! Looking through it though I am inspired to continue to challenge myself with fabrics. I thrift or make nearly everything.

I love Shawns style so much. He's a cool cat) Time to write like its my other other other full time job! Heeding the call of my lover. I have been practicing with this blog in order to get used to the idea of me being out there among you. I'm not scared anymore. Fuck it. It feels slightly self-destructive/destructive. Like jumping in the ring?  Part of me died in ...

Almost joining the land of the living. My sinuses taste of illness and skin smells like  acrid sweat. the final throws of battle "Make Things"  Youtube playlist "Make Things"  Spotify playlist "There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is I can't kick the habit "Just to feel your fast ballooning head" Listen to your heart" "Lotus Flower" Radiohead This playlist was originally on Youtube. It reminds me of my relationship with art. My lover. I've shared it with maybe 3 people in my whole life? Its old but I still listen to it often. My playlists are journal entries. Since I think only family maybe read this blog, I feel fine sharing it. Its fiiiine.    Hi family! I love you! :)  "Inventions" Maserati  at about 6min in the clima...
