Long, long... long long long ago, I used to post things here. And then I died for a while. But now I'm back. Very alive. Very inspired. I've been working on some new jewelry (made by me, with chains and thingsss, ya know like when I first started puja and was making pants and bow ties as well) and I'll be putting it up on the puja shop soon! I'm so excited!
Also, the other day I decided I really needed a new jacket (I've been dreaming about jackets for months now) and so I made one. Or... more DIYed one. Went on a hunt to a few different vintage places but couldn't find anything good enough. Ended up going to Jet Rag in West Hollywood and found a vintage Levi's denim jacket.
Hacked off the sleeves and collar.
Mixed up some green paint. I've been OBSESSED with green for a while now. All different shades. Maybe my new favorite color. Along with red. But not in a Christmas-y way. More of an India-y way.
Ended up doing three or four coats of paint.
A sleeve sample. And then sewing. Haven't sewn in YEARS. Literally.
And voila.
Ended up taking it in a bit from the back after these photos.
It was so much fun! And it felt so good to create something with my own two hands again. It had been too long.
Anyways, looong post, like the looong sleeves of the jacket (which was one of the things I was insistent on), but now I'm done. And hopefully I'll be posting more often.
Peace.
