bow tie

so i have a thing for bows. especially big, inordinately sized, ridiculously fluffy bows. but i also love small bows, and medium-sized bows, and everything in between. I've been known to tack them onto dresses where others probably would think they don't belong, but i can't seem to help it! i love them dearly. and i love the idea of wearing bow-ties in feminine ways, so every since i picked up a handful of amazing vintage bow-ties a few months ago i've been brainstorming all the ways i could prettify them. first, i wanted to make them into headbands - which i may still do. but THEN i got the idea of making them into little necklaces. i love jewelry that mixes medias, and i love the aesthetic of the hard brass chain mixed with the soft vintage fabric. but i also love the idea that making these bow-ties into necklaces has stuck true to their original intent while still feminizing it! i've posted these 3 up in my etsy store, and they are certainly one of a kind, so grab them while you can!





also, i've spent the past few days covering myself in fabric dye, fabric paint, spraypaint, and a myriad of other hard-to-wash-off substances in an attempt to make some t-shirts for my boy's band - so far they're coming along quite well! if all goes according to plan i will be selling them at his show in LA tomorrow night! pictures of the process, and the finished result, coming soon!
