top and skirt

my draping blouse and skirt project. we were given flats of a look and had to interpret the sketch as best as we could.

i decided to be thrifty (or broke) and scrounge around my room for fabrics. the blouse is made out of powder blue and white seersucker (courtesy of ian 

mcpheely's old curtains) with gray/metallic shell buttons (thanks mom), and the skirt is made from dark olive green crepe (courtesy of eileen fisher fabric bin).

please excuse my lack of cropping and messiness of my room. also, if you look closely on the back view you can see my lovely rat poindexter.

gail travis

tonight my mom and i went to see gail travis' gallery showing & presentation of nit felt phrame. it was in this architecture studio and had models standing on the cubicle desks putting on and taking off the clothing, which was so great since most of the pieces have 2 to 4 different ways to wear it.

GRILLED CHEESE TEE!

you can't really see it, but he's wearing a glitter grill. it's hand painted with acrylic fabric paint. unfortunately for me, i tried to machine wash it in cold water and the red paint started running within 3 seconds of it being in there, even though i heat set the paint prior to washing.

coming soon: the megaman tee i painted for johnny, and a picture of my new bike!
