I don't know who Isabella Blow is, but I think that's going to look sick when it's done!

Right now I have a whole bunch of sewing projects that aren't even half done.

Going camping today and I have a goal to take more nature like pictures than drunk fucked up pictures.

A few days ago I think thinking about going out and getting some molding stuff of clay when I have money. I find it really relaxing to play with the stuff and it's fun to make little creatures.

i am making a collage for our bathroom atm and a felt cupcake for my friend (whose bday it is this week, im going to hopefully finish it in time to give her at high tea at the weekend nomnomnom)

ooh emmah are you good with clay? i wish i was but i am hopeless. i have ideas but just cannot make them work out right? what are you sewing? isabella blow was a fashion editor. she discovered alexander mcqueen and philip treacy and sophie dahl and hussein chalayan and she was just this amazing avant garde wearer of hats. i love her. she killed herself by drinking weed killer last year. i cried. i have a half sleeve with a drawing of her.
could you post up photos catherine green? are you making hte felt yourself?
the beads are umm 5mm glass round beads. a bit of a pain to work with but i think in the end it will look okay. its sort of easy because i am just making like inch long strands and sewing htem down and through themselves. the sequined gun each sequin is tied down with a bead. its taken a few hundred hours so far i reckon.
i think next i am going to embroider big pieces of cotton to look like foolscap paper and then embroider old journal entrys onto them. should look okay. also will be embarrassing nad alternatively hilarious

Know know I think I have asked you about Isabella Blow before, because that sounds familiar.

I haven't done anything with clay in the longest time, but I used to really love it. I should see if I can dig out the turtle/monster thing I made.

As for sewing, started making a back-pack that I really have to finish. Then I have pants to take in, a sweater to alter for my friend, a dress that I have to do soommeeething with cause it's slightly weird looking. There are other things too, I probably gt to doing more shit tomorrow.

You're pretty dedicated with all that beading. Little beads hurt my fingers after dealing with them for too long. It's a must that you show us these things when you're finished. They're going to look bad ass.
