Probably the best flower crown I've ever made! 💗 🌸

This was a very late bday gift for a friend. I'm super happy with it and I am excited for whenever they send me pics of what outfit they've styled it with.

The jumpsuit I made for myself to wear in my sister's wedding
Took me many months, I'm very proud of it and so happy for Mr & Mrs Boen and their little furry family ❤️ @jenna.boen210@garrett.boen
This design was based on a commission I did last year, I'll hopefully feel capable of posting that soon and many other projects I've done since the last time this account was more active.
Hey yall! If you're in Chicago on May 4 I have a cool event for you! There will be kart racing, music, food, and local art to peruse. My brand name even made it onto the poster! I'll be selling t shirts, flower crowns, magic wands, embroidered earrings. Hope to see you there!

Some personal stuff:
I've really struggled to keep this account going. The online marketing is my least favorite part of being an independent artist. I've worked on many things since my last post, but taking decent pictures and playing with the alg0rithm is not something I am good at. I also have to spend most of my time working my main job (cleaning and organizing) in order to get by financially, which burns out my energy. I've also repeatedly gone through changes in relationships which makes stability very difficult. I wish I could put more focus into my art but I literally cant. Its so discouraging. But thanks to everyone still following me. I appreciate it.
Been working hard on a commission for someone to wear to a wedding in August. The final fabric will be black, some shiny and some matte.

[More personal stuff]
This has been almost as frustrating as the red dress from a couple years ago, but having more experience has been helpful. The flashbacks to college, and how awful a certain professor was, have been frequent. But I'm proving again to myself that I am not incapable. I work slowly, but I get things done. My untreated ADHD makes it difficult to persevere, but I'm managing as best I can. Pomodoro technique is especially helpful. I just wish I had other people to sew with.

On Sun Mar 12 you can look at and buy art like this from me and other local artists at Mission Control Arcade Bar in Rogers Park. Stay tuned for more details. Hope to see you there!
Pictured: Four hand-embroidered patches, about 4x3 inches each. They all look like open cigarette packs with a single cigarette inside. The label on the front of each pack says "Burnout". Each patch is a different color scheme-- red, pink, purple, and teal.

Gift for a friend. We'd been joking about several ideas for years and I finally got around to making it.
This was my first time doing cross stitch style embroidery! Delighted with how it turned out and with how many smiles and laughs it has already solicited just from showing friends these pictures.

💚The most complicated flower crown I've ever made💚
This crown was inspired by the goddess Gaia and tropical rainforests. There are numerous birds as well as one snake hidden in the foliage, and the blue twists represent a waterfall.
Big thanks to Luis E. Barrera for commissioning this piece ✨and✨ coming out to Millennium Park to model it!
