I've been diving into the world of DIY over the last couple years as a creative outlet since my ability to draw hasn't been doing it for me. Nothing feels like what I'm reaching for except for OTHER forms of art. Even different canvases like clothing feels better than paper. Paper feels like planning stages now, while paint feels more natural.

This is a spoon holder I turned into a jewelry holder. Initially I purchased it to turn into a holder for my Sailor Moon gashapon, but my hanging wall space in my Sailor Moon room is very little. It was an ugly brown colour, but I have lots of pastel paints around and some lace. The lace was both to hold in the items in more securely, AND to cover up the inside of the holder. It was chipping away and I was worried it might dirty the jewelry, or degrade and break. The glue and lace should avoid that.

Still kinda iffy on the purple though. Nothing else in my bedroom has this same purple.

One of my BFFs had her 31st birthday yesterday, and she's moving countries soon, so I drew her some art <3

Marker and pencil crayon.

My lovely Angel passed away in October 2018, so I made a custom ceramic tribute to her. The dog was a dark brown puppers I found at Value Village and recycled. She was primed with Tamiya primer, which is typically used for plastic, but helped everything stick nicely. She's coloured and shaded with chalk pastels, and the pastel is sealed in with Mister Super Clear.

Angel was my first pet, and I still miss her greatly. The finished puppers above was given to my mom for Christmas. It absolutely made her cry <3
