alive again

Heeeeeey. How do I even do this post-writing-picture-adding thing?

Anyway, I drew a thing. Hurrah! The outfit itself is nothing special ("what can I find to put on? this, this, these... I'm cold, I'll wear this and this too") but I wanted to commemorate finishing a big project and being able to spend a few hours today not feeling like a zombie, after a stretch of what felt like I was working every waking minute.

Don't expect another update any time soon, but please enjoy this one for what it is :) Drawing practice, if nothing else.

sparkly and comfy

I got myself motivated and scanned my skirt (it sounds strange, but that's what I did) so I could use the pattern here.  And while I was at it, I finished two more drawings that used the skirt! (and one that just shared a sketchbook page.)  Yayyyy, I'll get them all posted someday!!

The mother-of-pearl earrings were a Christmas gift from my aunt, who got them at a WAR Chest boutique (apparently they only have stores locally, but you can also shop online).  It's run by a really neat organization aimed at rescuing women at risk all over the world and providing them with ways to become self-sufficient in their communities.  The blue pair I wore on Sunday came from there too.  They are gorgeous earrings, and it's a good feeling to know they were made with a greater purpose and not just pumped out of a factory somewhere!
