Poison Ivy / Woodland Nymph / Whatever T-Shirt Reconstruction
I don’t know what happened with the video quality, but I think the dress turned out okay. Hopefully, things are clear enough despite the less than ideal resolution. If you watch it on your phone it probably doesn't make much of a difference so there's that silver lining?
Making videos is hard, sewing is hard, and I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, but dang it I’m tryin’ anyway! That’s gotta count for something, right?

Recycled Umbrella Bags
Funny story, this umbrella was just one of many casualties. My brother used to go through umbrellas like I go through hair bands. To this day it’s a bit of a mystery how he did it. Luckily, my hello kitty umbrella survived (largely because most dudes have some qualms about waltzing around with a pink and cheetah print hello kitty umbrella, to each their own)

Sunflower
I made this costume for a photography meetup. It may not have turned out quite as I had planned, but I'm still glad I finished it, and I think on the right model it could be very pretty.
To be clear: the statue of liberty is a lovely work of art and engineering, not to mention an incredibly powerful symbol...but it's not exactly the sort of thing one wants to be compared to while attempting to be light and ethereal.
Though I said I'm not thrilled with the way things turned. That doesn't mean I hate it by any means. If I truly thought this project and the photos turned out horribly, I'd do everything within my power to ensure they never saw the light of day.
If you like this costume or pictures, wonderful! That's why I share the things I make. I'm so thankful anytime my work makes someone happy or inspires them! Just because a creator doesn't feel something is good enough, doesn't mean you can't love and enjoy it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and both ways of feeling are valid.

Stained Glass Inspired Peacock Earrings
I used to have a little glass enamel night light cover, I really loved the stained glass peacock design, but it was broken. For the life of me I can't find anything quite like it, but I did use it as inspiration for the design of these earrings. I'm still bummed that it's broken, but I made these as a thank you gift for someone and they seem to like them, so at least a little something good came out of it.
