the future is the way of that
It’s January of 2026, I didn’t think we’d make it, but here we are. Since I finished using the mini Flower Knows planner for 2025, I decided to use a blank notebook I bought from Koyamori (website shop) printed with their illustration of persimmons on a pleather cover. It is a A5 size dot grid …
Following up on last year’s 2024 art summary post, here is 2025! I didn’t do an art vs artist image because I didn’t draw that much and so I’d just be repeating artwork although I did cut my hair short, maybe I’ll post next year if I draw more (and you know… survive 2026). Obviously …
If you remember from this post in the fall, I re-opened my Etsy/ko-fi shop with actual sewn stuff for an atelier and listed some cute Japanese-fashion inspired tops and skirts and hair accessories! But alas and unsurprisingly I have not made much progress since then. Mostly because I was busy with an event and then …
Yesterday was the first Saturday of December which is winter International Lolita Day! I didn’t get to a coord done that day because I was busy running errands on Saturday afternoon and then I spent the whole evening at my friend’s house watching playthrough of Disco Elysium and that’s a lengthy process. So I made …
I actually drew this fanart in late November but just posting it now. Here is Shockwave from Transformers One and I have now completed the set of Decepticons that were referenced by name in the movie. I love drawing Shockwave because he usually has a hexagon for a head and only one eye, but of …
Have you ever grown to sort of tolerate a food you didn’t like before? I am feeling that way with mushrooms and cucumbers these days. I still don’t like zucchini and squash besides pumpkin though. Here is another recipe from the Scum Villain cookbook zine, Proud Immortal Culinary Way, the Pounded Peerless Cucumber Salad. Salacious …
I went to San Japan the final weekend of August for the second year in the row to support my friends working at Okashi-con. The drive was 6 hours long while also delayed by traffic, and I got increasingly tired and sore as the days passed. Still, I had fun and bought a ton of …
I finished my November fanart early in time for an event next weekend, but trust I will have another fanart ready by the end of the month as usual. This time I spent a few nights painstakingly trying to draw Transformers One movie Soundwave for my flower trading card series. I had a fairly accurate …
This is the long-awaited follow-up from previous posts about slow-fashion, mending, upcycling and thrift-flipping (link here!). I present to you, T-shirt upcycling featuring my large hoard of t-shirts I can’t really donate or sell due to bad condition or nostalgia. I basically have 35 t-shirts reserved that I almost never wear, either too small, stained, …
Here is another handmade lolita/otome top, made from Otome no Swing volume 19. I just wanted to sew something from the latest volume to be on trend, using this print remnant cotton I think I got at Michaels. It was at most 1.5 yards, a thin cotton with a repeating small pattern of Disney’s Bambi …
