"introducing most recent major creation (& second real sewing project ever) ⭐️💖 sword 💖⭐️️ inspired by cardcaptor sakura, sailor moon, and other magical girl anime i grew up watching on 4kids... building myself a magical object with a nostalgic reflective protective layer
see: ~5ft, one entire bag of polyfill, a couple yards of spandex, about 2 hours of (hardly effective) machine sewing on the blade, and anywhere from 20-30 hours of hand sewing + appliqué + thinking really hard about it everywhere else.
sword base illustration and leg branding by sweetheart angel [ruby/dirt hutchensen]. and thank you [mel bernier] for teaching me how to sew and answering all my questions when i was really scared to put this whole thing together 💖 looking 4 more fiber art friends to make art with now that i have passed the holy soft sculpture test.....
(also thank you [scott cortez] for the very nice shirt!)" x
