The Coil

🐷Work in progress / current mood, I guess?🐷 It’s been a while since I last picked up the stylus, and it shows. Re-learning to just trust the process has certainly been the hardest part.

🎀Princess Bully🎀 A big thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth during last weekend. The French bulldog seemed like a natural pick for the event’s unofficial animal mascot, so… here you go. So cute!

🐍🐢 Backstage at the .fashion.alliance season 3 runway show with and as Water Snake and Snapping Turtle. We had an incredible turnout last night, and the presentation was flawless! A huge thanks to and for totally nailing the perfect hair and makeup to complete these looks -- I truly could not be happier with how everything turned out.

🐢Look 2 Mock-up 🐢 for the coming year’s show with .fashion.alliance . I finally found a cheap styrofoam dress form, which is making my life so much easier right now. There’s a lot that still has to come together for this design, but I’m just so happy with how the process is moving along at the moment.

🍑Diospyros virginiana🍑 aka the common persimmon, North America’s tastiest autumn fruit. They’re pretty ugly compared to their larger East Asian counterparts, but they make up for it by tasting like rum-raisin ice cream with butterscotch on top — but only once they’re ripe enough to fall off the tree. They’re also very common throughout most of the contiguous United States, so keep a lookout for a tree with blocky bark and little, wrinkled fruits. You could very well have one in your back yard.
