the future is the way of that
I went to Kinokuniya recently and bought both an issue of Egg (for gyaru fashion) and Misako Aoki’s Sewing Book volume 2 that I had been debating getting online with CDJapan or Amazon JP for much cheaper but with crazy expensive shipping, but now I could get locally at the further Kino for twice the …
All right, we are reviewing purchases from April to June of 2026, prepare for a lot of links, many are repeats because I’m supporting local businesses. (If you’re my friends, don’t look, these will show up as gifts later lol) I will also be adding in-line links this time to every artist’s instagram or Etsy …
I didn’t actually draw any art for this month of July bullet journal layout because I already drew stuff in the previous post (gyaru zine) in the beginning of July and I didn’t wanna draw more, so this is just a sticker collage. But it’s a beautiful collage! This month’s theme is festival, matsuri and …
As a follow up to my January post about zines, I finally made a zine by myself, copied and distributed to people in real life as I intended. I attended a free workshop at the local library a few months ago, and I made a quick collage zine about my favorite Vietnamese foods, with photos …
A few weeks late, but here is my coord for summer International Lolita Day June 6, 2026! That day we planned to triplet Metamorphose Cyber Neon Girl the black colorway, me with my 2 friends at the local art market near my house. We had fun getting photos with the adorable camp backgrounds, and got …
This post is all about thrift-flipping or upcycling a regular men’s shirt into a cute larme or girly style skirt inspired by Liz Lisa and Otome no Sewing! Since Joann’s has closed, I have been more mindful of fabric sources, and I found this old faded hole-y shirt of my brother’s in the donate pile. …
Unless something changes drastically with my current webhosting provider in like 8 months, I will not renew my website next March. They recently added a button to the control panel with a little robot head titled “code with AI”. Now I won’t blame the person who added this on this site manager, they probably assumed …
This month’s bullet journal monthly layout for June is actually mostly original artwork! I initially wanted to do mermaids, but since I just drew a mermaid for Mer-May and didn’t want to stock the watercolor paper into my journal and I also only had one mermaid sticker in my collection, I decided to go with …
May isn’t over yet, and I managed to squeeze in some time (instead of cleaning) to sketch, ink and paint this mermaid for Mer-May! I drew on watercolor paper with pencil and inked with my usual Zebra extra-fine brush pen, that I’ve used for years, got it at Daiso. I then used watercolors for the …
For “Me-Made May,” during which I work on completing things I made by myself, I finally finished a sewing project from almost five years ago, this ruffly underskirt from Otome no Sewing volume 16, which was published in 2021. I have no idea why I started it, as I don’t have any dresses or skirts …
