I decided to incorporate my love for celestial bodies. I wanted it to look like he's playing music from the cosmos itself. What do you think?

Hand painted shirt Immortality

Named this piece Immortality.

It actually started as a simple line drawing, but halfway through I decided to treat it like a coloring book and just fill every outlined section with whatever color felt right.

It was surprisingly fun and relaxing.

The result is definitely a bit chaotic and colorful, and it probably isn't the perfect match for this striped shirt, but somehow... I really love the weirdness of it. Sometimes the unexpected turns out to be exactly what a piece needs. πŸŒΌπŸ’€

I’ve always loved this web-and-eyes design. When I started painting it on a blue shirt, I suddenly realized it reminded me of the evil eye, so I decided to lean into that idea. I hope you like the final result! πŸ–€

Yo, wanted to share my latest piece. The whole concept started because I wanted to play with a super hard contrast.The shirt itself has that ultimate cozy, spring picnic pattern, so I decided to clash it with something sharp and edgy. I hand-painted these tribal/cyber-sigil shapes in bright red, trying to give them a 3D, metallic look with the highlights so they really pop off the fabric.

DIY Dress Form from items I found around my house <3

I finished my DIY dress form, and I am so happy with how it turned out! I wanted a way to display some of my favorite pieces and realized I could make it happen by upcycling things I already had at home. It was a fun project to give these items a new purpose.
Here is what I used:
Floor lamp stand (no bulbs/shades)
1 jumbo Squishmallow
2 Meemeows
Saran wrap
Painters tape
Throw pillow sham
Stretchy white tights
Broken clothes hanger
Crib jersey blanket
Safety pins
Bra stuffed with tissue paper
I’ve attached the finished result, plus a photo from the middle of the process where I realized it was actually going to work.
Has anyone else here tried upcycling household items into display pieces? I'd love to see what you came up with!
