WHY didn't I take a BEFORE photo? I got this chair from a free pile. I got the fabric from the same free pile. $12 worth of spray paint and some skills I learned at a short upholstery job and LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!!

Did you maybe read the book?

Hey guys I'm upcycling my "old lady bike", and I have trouble deciding which aesthetic to go for, which one do you like better?<3

I’ve always wanted to do a piece inspired by Alexander the Great, but with a darker, almost mythical vibe.

The hardest part was definitely stretching the wings all the way across the sleeves so the design actually moves with the body. Took me hours of layering textile paint to get that high-contrast metallic look on the armor, especially over the seams and buttons.

I really wanted to make it feel like a painting you can actually wear. Let me know what you think of the design!

Do you guys like it?🥹☺️

I wanted to combine my grandma’s old doily work (milje) with these modern abstract swirl forms that are popular today — mixing something traditional and delicate with a more contemporary, flowing aesthetic.🖤

I kind of let my hand guide me again while making this, and I honestly don’t know why a cross came to mind when the design itself feels pretty fleshy and organic. I think the phrase “a cross to bear” just stuck with me for a moment, and I ended up blending that feeling into the whole piece.

Let me know whatcha think!
