I realize I am months late in hopping on along with this
Raquel Allegra-inspired trend, but I had been rather occupied last semester getting my A in Environmental Law.
As a perpetual crafter, my room is littered with (mostly unfinished) DIYs and, as an avid knitter, in my opinion there can be no greater and liberating joy found than in destroying knitwear. So, last night plopped myself down in front of Conan O'Brien and took to a sort of big and unflattering AA shirt I never wore anyway. Here's my progress so far:
Just starting out
Almost done with the first panel
Crappy close up on my camera (I couldn't use flash since the shirt's white, so they were all coming out blurry)
I liked how the hem looked where I ripped out the seam - a little bit like perforated paper
First panel finished - it starts in the back but is sort of diagonal and goes up to my armpit
This project is pretty fun and therapeutic. Kind of relaxing to do in front of my Netflix Instant Play Beverly Hills: 90210, so at the risk of looking like I was on the losing end of a fight with Nancy Spungen, I think I'll continue with this... Maybe it'll make a good 4th of July outfit addition?
I painted this little guy the other day. I thought tentacles would be fun to do (yes, I know there are nine instead of eight - I like odd numbers), and I gave him a little Hindu flair since he was reminding me of Vishnu's four arms. Then I doodled henna patterns all around the edges of the "frame" thingy I painted. Don't know where to put him though! Maybe Etsy?
