It has been too long since i last painted something.. My painting style isn’t very consistent, but I’ve gotta kick it up a notch with drawing EVERY day, or I’ll be in the...DANGER ZOOOOONE!!! :]

This is some random chick I found on Pinterest, just to use as a little practice, that turned into me spending way too much time on it. 

I’m currently catching up with Archer Season 6, which might I add is quite fantasmic. But really, when is the show not funny?

Awesome cosplay by @beebinch

Pet beds were on sale AND I had a coupon so Guts got a new bed.  It’s very plush he likes it a lot.

Sikh actor and designer Waris Ahluwalia almost missed NYFW because of racial profiling

Waris Ahluwalia is Sikh and he wears a turban, a headdress that’s part of his religious identity. Ahluwalia reported on Instagram Monday that Aero Mexico would not let him board his flight to New York City while wearing his turban. This isn’t the first time Ahluwalia has been the victim of ignorant Islamophobia.

#FallforCostume Day 6: Ruffles

I haven't made any ruffly cosplays, so instead I thought I'd share this 18th century Robe a la française draping project I did in college! It's based on an extant yellow gown from the MET museum. I referenced period drafting plates to make sure my base had accurate seam placement and silhouette, and then mocked up all the ruffle trim and pinned it on for size and placement reference. The Watteau pleats in the back were especially challenging to drape 😅

Except for a few sewn seams, everything is just pinned onto the dress form. This was really an exercise in creating a very clean and finished draping to show, for example, a costume designer.

I still have the pattern from this since I figured I could eventually use it for a historically accurate Rose of Versailles cosplay gown for a few different characters.
