Gift Packaging Ideas


This is a sample of my holiday gift packaging for my Etsy store. I use a bracelet sized kraft box, cut out holiday scrapbooking paper into strips, and paste it to the top of the box.

My Bloody Shirt


I made this shirt during the summer. It is entirely sewn by hand, no sewing machine touched this shirt! I actually designed another shirt, made that one, and used the leftover scraps to make this one. I actually like this one better though. The back hangs lower than the front, and it's kind of loose all over, but also is short, a sort of cut-off shirt.

I love the fabric though, it looks like I murdered someone!

Can I be a Hand Model? Please?

Ever since my mom stopped cutting my nails, I just let them grow long, out of laziness. Below I painted my nails with a salmon colored polish from Ulta topped with my favorite glittery topcoat, In The Spotlight by Sally Hansen.


Below, I used a pink Salley Hansen nail polish as a base, then made the dots with the Ulta salmon nail polish, and finally added the lime nail appliques with a clear coat nail polish.
