my purple bleed heart

this is one of my favourite. i am not a violet neither a purple person.

tho' red--the blood red has recently become a favourite colour of mine

the famed ikat weave material is the base and from there i worked on appliqueing the

other combo of new and vintage materials to create and capture the emotions of a

sad and agonizing feeling of one's breaking and almost dying heart, yet struggles to appear

 calm, resolute, and poised. 

the making of " white widow " art brooch/pin

i have this small panel of very pretty textured,

 lilac color lace.at  first,i was after only its almost like  paisely designs,

and its other cute tiny swirls and curves. but as i noticed after some few days of looking over it again, i saw a spider's leg, i tried counting if its eight--and yes, its eight. giving it a closer look again, i saw then the body and its eyes... i overlooked this pretty lonely spider here on her web!

the goes these sparks again in my head, and before it simmers down--i went on cutting it out and proceeded with the new idea for it, setting aside the two brooches i was currently working on.en route,or impulse, or spur of the moment... i don't know.

all i know that time, was to get done with the idea quick or it would be stalled again, and would be soon forgotten.

well, here's what it turned out. i named it "white widow" brooch/pin.

the visible hand-stitches will always be part of my work and art. it is what i call, the soul and the art of it.

new! bridal cuffs----handmade with love

these are my new bridal cuffs! embellished with opaque whites and off whites trimmings and laces. 

combo of new and vintage materials. all hand-made with love. 

soft white and off-white textiles, laces, sparkles, luminous, traces of romanticism, creates a perfect adornment on that very special day of yours. 

                        my wings of love rests on your bosom forevermore wide wrist cuff

the aup store in the spirit of 3 Rs

the university store on its conscious effort to: reduce, recylce, and  re-use.

 
    the university store

     as a maker and, re-maker of various artsy things, surely these have not escaped my eyes. yet, i'm baffled if such is a curse or a blessing--tell me, will you?

         here's some make over on these recyclable net grocer's bag. but first, the critique/critic :-) on why it needs some make-over:

                 

    1. the handle. man! it hurts when so many things are already placed inside the handle will scrimp into like a thin sharp edged nylon strings, that your hands hurt whilst carrying it.

                

     2. sturdy, down to earth-humble-marginal-artsy-ecoist style and effect,that is so appreciating---your momma's, aunt's, and granny's disgustingly generic market bag, can now be a style and fashion statement.

     3. er--- i thought i could make money on this plan and endeavor, but nay! alas! time, love, soul, and effort poured on each piece is way below its price 

(thanks to my service-oriented consciousness aawwwww..and in times like these...) 

     4. its for sale!!!  here


and oh, there are some primitive artful technology infused:
     - net bags are doubled. so it is stylishly heavy duty.
     - industrial threads are used, sewn twice over.
     - small pocket with discreet hooks inside--for iphones--yeh!
     - steampunk lock--awwww...
     - the huge outside pockets are the "ART" here. the thing that'll make it, and
       the bag hags unforgettably artsy and eco-chic.
     - about 13 W x 15 L inches.

my lake isle of innisfree

                                                                       

i will arise and go now, go to my innisfree
and there i can do all my "sewing" art. *lol*
i have got a well stock of supplies
and no one can ever bother me there
yes, not anyone.

it is peaceful there.
i can realize all my thousands of stalled
ideas, and outputs.

i'll post it when they're done,
for they are meant to excite the visual senses of the disinterested,
the minds of the thinking bohemians, the marginals, and the
paupers with poise.

after all, we are virtually related,
and mind you, even the social being marginals which loveth
words, ideas, camaraderie,er-- style and art, are connected.
and, sometimes think cant live anymore without the net...
or so we thought (?)

sublime stitcher'smushroom emblem

this is a salvaged piece from a vintge cloth i have hoarded -smiles-.

as soon as i realized that it is a hand sitched piece, i immediately saved it and planned

to make something out of it--to be worn, seen, and appreciate the hand-embroidered

work. it is also intended to be a --sublime stitcher's mushroom emblem---.

a symbol for passion on working with needle and thread. the mushroom? its accidental--the shape

turned out to be like one, nonetheless, a favourite of mine.the 2 bone-finished wooden beads are

placed beside the vintage wooden thread holder, for added visual interest.a pin is sewn on the

back for multi-purpose use...here you go...
