I’m a sucker for taking photos of colorful spots everywhere I go. I’m sure you can tell from all my graffiti photos. Color just catches my eye, constantly.
Being home all the time now gives me the chance to work on all the projects I’ve been wanting to work on. Besides, for years it’s been a goal of mine to stop buying new clothes and mostly buy used, or make my own.
This was a shirt I bought at a sample sale two years ago. I never felt confident with the fit. I love oversized, but this wasn’t doing it for me. I juggled with some ideas on how to make it better, or at least more me. In the end, it’s always gonna be cropped with pom poms.
Nail polish is my new go-to paint source these days. Any project I work on, I bring out my pail polish before acrylic. The gloss finish is more appealing, and I have a ton of color variety of nail polish. It just kinda works for me right now.
I don’t know about y’all, but this quarantine life has me reminiscing of old trips I’ve been on. It occurred to me how much I’ve been wrapped up in in work and life that I missed one of my favorite days. I figured acknowledging it later is better than never acknowledging it.
Twin Peaks Day was on the February 24th. So, happy belated Twin Peaks Day!
Hi. Hello! How are you all? Welcome back to another installment of Tarot-To-Go! It’s been awhile since I’ve bombarded your eyeballs with cards and tried to decode our future in an attempt to navigate this crazy thing called life as a human being. What a crazy whirlwind it’s been since our last update — how’s everyone hanging in? A bit frazzled? Yeah, I thought that might be the case…
Since the world’s a bit upside down right now, Maria and I thought April 1st would be the perfect time to snap back into the swing of it here on Oddball Era. With the both of us locked down in quarantine, we’ve got a lot of time on our hands to sit around and worry. I bet you can relate. To channel that energy into more positive ventures, I’ve decided to try and dedicate this period to growing my magical practice, especially my tarot skills. Plus, I think we can all use a little clarity right about now!
During this quarantine period, I’ve been revisiting photos of older projects I’ve worked on.
Back in December, I took a commission from a coworker to create an embroidery hoop for his wife. Took me a bit of time to finish, but I tried to have fun while working on it.
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to get into incense burning. Something about crafting a mindful, creative, and spiritual space is something I‘ve been craving. Especially now, during this time of quarantine and distancing.
Which is when I created myself some cute incense holders – during this time of quarantine.
This 2020 is bringing the crafty witch out in me. I was commissioned to do this pet portrait by a friend of her precious baby girl that passed away. Jessie was fierce but also a big mush. Forget those pitbull stereotypes.
Anywho, I love working on wood, and I had all intentions of painting this portrait, but I decided to take a different route after I sketched everything out.
Holidays and birthdays bring out the crafty in me. Handmade gifts are kinda the best kind of gifts anyway.
For Christmas, I decorated these tea towels for a friend. She always quotes our favorite wise subway lady in Coming To America.
