I want some herschel bags and ukuleles

..to brighten up my winter!

this will probably be my last post for a while. Chloe Sevigny you lovely thing

I got too much time on my hands. made some autumn picks, but it's winter so I won't be getting any of these. wouldn't mind some happy socks though!

My felt bag

With that ingenious fabric I sourced from Resource rescue - pleather
one side and felt the other, I made an A3 sized bag last night! mass
success. Now I have the capacity to carry my schoolwork, my laptop,
clothes, lunch, small children etc.. and also it's just awesome because
instead of paying $50 or more in kikki k for some designer laptop bag
I made this for 0 dollars - materials and all

so I made this basic dress, to pin shit on..

Zooey Deschanel singing, and occasionally playing ukulele. What
more could you want. Ahh I just want to cuddle her. In the past day
of listening to the band She & Him I've downloaded Vol. 1 and heard
some cute covers like 'Fools Rush in' and 'Swing low, sweet chariot'.
If you loved her experimental band in Yes Man then you will love She
& him. shit, I think I'm falling in love..

leather letters - what I had for breakfast

La vie en rose

I'm in love with the sweet things that
Marion Cotillard wears in La vie en
rose (2007). Winning an award for
playing Edith Piaf (genius) all I can think
about is that damned cute sailor hat! I
wonder if there's a way to make one..

what shall I do with allll these green pom poms? I found them
at Resource rescue (from the founder of reverse art); an art dump
of goodies. If interested in crafts, and getting a bag of fun shit
for real cheap go to Bayswater -> http://www.discountcraftsupplies.com.au/

embroidery!

So there's this really beautiful photo of a deer that Timothy took
in Japan. The other day I learned how to embroider, and kind of
(badly) re-created the deer on fabric. Happy birthday Tmoth

Everything is beautiful at 58% opacity

Upper Left Arm

UPPER LEFT ARM. OK so these guys are really effing exciting because
1. I love their shit, it's fresh and classy, and 2. they did the same textile
design course that I'm doing at RMIT. Don't you love hearing shit like
that happen? well I do, and I hope that one day I can be in similar shoes
to Upper Left Arm. I plan on having some kind of business similar to
these guys. Inspirational shit. I'd wear their clothes.

(I'm sure he won't mind) hehe

This is a design that I had to simulate onto a garment for my final outcome
in CAD. It's ah not quite realistic but I'm semi happy - and happy that
Timothy agreed to be in it :D

unfinished/never going to finish

A selfie! with the mouse on my laptop. It was such a laborious
task I'm never attempting it without a tablet again. Unless I never
get a tablet..

I finally coloured her. She's much better this way. Surrounded
by an autumn igloo

my sleeve. textile design makes you take notice of patterns, on everything...

I lollipop you

my bookshelf, his camera.

not that any of my 10 followers would be outraged by my lack of
boothing since december last year, but I wish I could have the
energy to post more now. Quite a few things have changed since
december 2010, my life's moving but I can't quite feel myself
'evolving' yet in my new course (textile design).
If you didn't already pick up on the 'his' in the title, there's a he
in my life! It's probably the best real thing that's happened this
year, and among few other things it's made my life joyous despite
my moody, doubtful self.
I've been thinking about friendships and the significance of people
around me a lot this year. Maybe I'm caring more about others or
realizing how much I actually need people.
The friends I've made have been crucial to my survival so far, and
seem to be a lot stronger and a lot more mature than I am. It can
be inspiring but also very disheartening. My self worth and ability
has been on shaky grounds lately, and it's messin' with my head.

Well looky here I was only intending to publish a photo taken by
the wonderful timothy, and mention my new love, but as it were,
it has turned into a 12 am ramble about my dissatisfaction's of 2011.
