hellooo...

Okay. Since you guys want to buy papercuts (which I didn't anticipate, even if I told you I'd sell), I have some info.

1. Papercuts are the size of a piece of bond paper. 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

2. Tell me first what you want on it, and I can raise or lower the price according to how hard it will be to cut. I know right. Teeeeechnical.

3. This original artwork design (which you get to keep) can also be made into notecards and greeting cards and gift tags.



*happy dance on having accomplished something*
Yay.

papercuts

Nes-tuh-lay! Here's yours. I know you've waited a while. Hope you like it. :)
This second one was inspired by a song of McFly's. (of course.) It's called Star Girl, and it's currently my favorite "happy song". :D

I love this cut, too, even if I made a mistake. Eep. But you can still buy it, or anything else you want. just tell me, and if it is even remotely possible to make it a papercut, you bet me and my trusty x-acto knife will get it done. 'Cause that's how we roll.

you need flour for doughnuts

Here's that Abercrombie shirt I scored in an overruns rack the other day. I keep telling myself I won't buy tshirts, but my old ones are sort of disintegrating, and I couldn't resist this one. It fits perfectly, and it's navy! I'm kind of obsessed with navy blue right now. A close up of my necklaces: the guitar one is from Yela, of course. I miss you amiga! And the doughnut (eeee!) is from Ina. I came home one day, and she said, "Look what I made for you!" It's so adorable. How can I resist doughnut jewelery?
Here's me with my sisters, who I love to death. (Occasionally in the literal manner.)


Here are some flour sacks I found being sold for five bucks in a bakeshop in Santa Rosa. I haven't the slightest clue as to what to do with them, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. To test clothing patterns on, for instance.
I love the printing on the front.




Me in my shirt, and my shorts (remember them?) that I made, and a pair of black stockings my mom found in her closet. Haha. I was dripping sweat when Ina took this. I thought it was supposed to be the rainy season?

crocheted sea

A necklace I made about, hmm, a year ago? I completely forgot about it, because as cute as it is, choker necklaces aren't all that comfortable for me. It's an entirely original idea, which makes me feel happy. Haha. I crocheted it, then sewed on the beads and stuff. Here's a close up:


Yes, the blue thread is a weird color choice, I know. But I wasn't really thinking, and I'm always impatient with these things, assuming that no one will look at it up close anyway.

At least it isn't, you know, orange.

my shorts!

Here are those jeans-to-shorts I worked on recently! I'm so proud. *grins*

These were a pair of capris, which fit perfectly well, but were really weirdly flared at the ends, just above the ankles, and it looked really strange. And after a few fruitless trips to the mall, trying to find a cute pair of shorts that were also cheap, I decided to make my own. (I mean, the ones I wanted in Kamiseta were 800 pesos! I can't spare that for shorts!)
Here's how they look. Sorry I don't have any "before" pictures, I wasn't able to borrow a camera yet.
Here's a close up of my spontaneous embroidery on the pocket: Look at my tabs! Oooooohh, yeah.

Close up of the vintage buttons Mom never got around to using:

Tadah! Possibly my best clothing reconstructing project ever.
Now I have shorts! Thank goodness.
