guano

I didn't realize how much I love bats I guess! I was looking through my paintings and drawings from the last few months and fruit bats galore!

DiY Reconstructed Clothing on Ebay










I have been reconstructing old concert shirts and selling them under the "DiY" clothing section on Ebay(http://stores.ebay.com/Kittydirt-Vintage). They are not going for as much as they used too, but I have been challenging myself and making new pattern pieces just to make sure my RISD fashion degree gets a little use!

Taxidermy & Billygoats


This is a painting I did for my old pygmy goat, Milbert

Olvera Street-Dia De Los Muertos




Olvera Street is a Mexican marketplace on the site of the birthplace of Los Angeles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olvera_Street

I got obsessed with collecting cats and painting them for the day of the dead.
So I decided to expand with a trip to the cat's birth mother's home, Olvera Street.

There I got
Frida Kahlo & Virgin of Guadalupe trinkets & postcards.


Frida Print in a vintage frame I decorated using: vintage earrings, shells, lace, chain, Swarovski crystals, buttons, beads, starfish, high heel & broken heart.


The creation zone mess



Guadalupe Print in a Frame I decorated using sequins, a rose & swarovski crystals

Karl Lagerfeld is my Hero


Karl Lagerfeld


"I don't like standard beauty - there is no beauty without strangeness"

"I like the cheap and the expensive and nothing in between"

quote by Mr. Lagerfeld that have always touched me and now are what my jewelry line is created from.

I am working on a press release bio currently. Some other things that rule my soul and show up in my line
100 yen store in japan = a cool version of our 99cents only store
the golden girls
big white "special" looking persian cats
LOVE of ALL ANIMALS
Taxidermy
Science
Phuket Thailand & Culebra PR
Estate Sales
Avenue Montaigne and Avenue des Champs-Elysées
phosphorescence oceans

Ok that's all for now. I have the ideas started now I just have to relate them all and write them up without mentioning them and and just giving the feel/idea of it.
