Melt into the woodwork



Today I feel so productive! I bought this skirt today at Value Village and it was floor length, but I thought it would be perfect as a short skirt. So I cut it off and hemmed it, and I love it! I've been wanting a colorful skirt for so long but I just don't want one from like Forever 21 or something. I love unique stuff that I won't see on anyone else. Plus, thrifting and altering is way cheaper. Just 4.99 for this skirt, and I got another one (possibly more awesome?) for only 2.99!

In other DIY fun, I wanted to do something to embellish my shoes but I didn't want it permanent like Krystal's, though I love her DIY. So I decided to make some fancy boot straps which are removable. I could've finished it yesterday, but I didn't get enough hardware and the store isn't open today, drat!



I'm totally in love with the first one and I CANNOT wait to wear them when both are done! I think I'm gonna make some more and maybe put them on etsy. This is my first time working with leather and it's really fun. We've got an amazing leather/fur/studs/hardware store here and I get so inspired for projects every time I go in.

I just saw John Galliano's spring 2010 collection tonight. The girls remind me of Moulin Rouge french prostitutes. That sounds like a scathing review but I actually really like the kind of disheveled clothing, gauche makeup and all around vulgar kind of feel to these looks. It makes me want to put on way too much make up and wear disheveled layers of clothing.



We bought pumpkins tonight and I'm going to carve them! I haven't carved pumpkins since 2005!

It feels so strange to hold the dissonance in my body of enjoying finding small moments of joy and sharing snaps of those blips here on IG, in the midst of scrolling though footage of shredded bodies in Gaza and Lebanon, and news coverage of another
Fall has got me feeling nostalgic and vibey and I’m the mood for a photo dump. The seasonal change is such a magical time that pulls the veil of familiarity away and lets you see the place you live in with new eyes. It’s got me wanting to
What I’ve been working on this week. 🎨 A piece in this style has been percolating since I made some initial drawings in Sitka back in June. I’m hoping to do a much larger mural version in the coming months but decided to do a smaller ca
A year ago I saw someone posting about Pacific Northwest Aleut Council culture camp and I was super bummed I’d missed it, but also very excited that I’d discovered that there was a culture camp close to me. Fast forward to this past week
Finally gave our free food pantry the mural she deserves! I always planned on giving it a paint upgrade but, as per usual, it took me at least a year 👀 Next up on the mural plan is our retaining wall, but we’ll see if I can squeeze that in be
Got to enjoy the In The Spirit Contemporary Native Art festival yesterday, there are always such great artists vending and performing— Jack and I were able to make it for the Alaska Kuteeyaa dancers’ performance! My piece is up at the art
