Form|thought Update March 21
Here is the hand sanitizer cover I embroidered for my show, so that folks can touch my art with clean hands, and the bottle doesn't stick out too much. Sorry for the bad pictures, I had to take them in my room.
And here are the most recent pictures of my main piece. I am focusing on joy and love. If what I do does not bring me joy, there is no point.

Dress 2/15 part 2
When we last left our hero (me), they had just completed the bodice and midriff of this over complicated pinterest posters dream child, meaning it's time to move on to the five (5) layers of massive Cinderellian skirt, and the 91 inches of gathered tulle ruffles therein.
Let's start by gathering and sewing the nice, non-threatening lining of the skirt.There, this seems reasonable right?
Wrong. Broken needle count: 1
Like this one!
And another one.
And. Another one.
Now a quick "break" to cut out two hundred and thirty inches of four inch wide tulle.
Then to take all that tulle, gather it to the previously established 91 inches.
Then fold it in half horizontally and attach it to the hem of the outer most skirt layer. With, you guessed it, more of that really tiny thin ribbon I've cursed myself with for some reason.
Now, at about 2 in the morning, the final layer of the skirt is completed, and they can all be sewn together while quietly praying to the needle gods that the machine can handle it.
It can't. Broken needle count: 3
We'll be back after this short six allotted hours of nightly rest, also known as "most of my free time."
