I've done a ton of illustrating lately for costumes to wear for Burning Man all last week. And as much as I love to sketch, I had to stop and actually get to making the pieces.. which means, a DIY DAY!
I made a little intimate reversible piece out of a 3XL muumuu {i think it was 3XL?} I bought for $1 at JetRag in Hollywood! {NOTE: I did this without any pattern paper, without measuring, no tracing, proper cutting or correct sewing construction!} I'll remind you, I am a designer and I know how this works, but I didn't want to put so much effort into this piece and care so much about execution because I know this piece will not be usable again! {kinda like Forever21 lol}.
So I just literally pinned and cut around the shape of a sample I was wearing and - VOILA!
Here is a preview of my Burning Man sketches in both my mini Fashionary Neon Light sketchbook and my To-go sketchbook.. I'll post all of them soon! My new Fashionary Neon Light sketchbook was so handy while I was shopping for accessories in Santee Alley last week! Love that little book.. :)
So my dog Kobe {baloney} thinks he can just plop himself anywhere.. especially after I just layed out all my costumes on the floor.. RUDE.
..expect lots of Bohemian looks! I'm adding a little twist because I think the "boho" look is expected.. because it's so trendy. So stay tuned for my illustration ideas for Burning Man! I have less than a month to prepare!!! EXXXXCITEDDD.
P.S.
After I kicked him out, he went to the far left and plopped himself on one of my dresses... ughhh.
