cry and craft in the park

I have been big sad so we cried and crafted and yipped and yapped in the park as I prepare for my February crochet drop!

I also included some funny signs I painted. These were for some games at Doux Doux ball - clowns galore there.

The theme was “bullshit revolution” / Bolshevik revolution in Russia. So I started watching videos and compiling a YouTube playlist on that subject! I’ll follow up with another post soon including my findings if you want to learn about that. Aaa...

DISCORD???

alright y’all - to all my lovely patrons - I welcome you to discord! Which I am just learning howww to use so be patient with me!

finished & in progress early photo drop

I finished this lil ruffle but I haven’t shared it yet! I am the classic get something half way or 90% done and then forget about it. This two tone faded blue and gray collar with a wispy? fuzzy? grey/white (with specs of blue n purple) ruffle, finally got its finishing touches including some wonky pearls in the front & ties in the back.

Today, I shared photos of this mini black alpaca wool choker that I crocheted. I even got a bite on a commission right away yay. Y’all know of...

LELLO MEMO aka pt.1 of yellow study

out of no where the yellow study began. i think it started with wanting to wear this fuzzy yellow sweater and some cold weather in New Orleans. I had been wearing a lot of black before that. I do that regularly. then i realized i had a really good yellow collared shirt and the double yellow was really satisfying but not a choice I had ever made before

I started to push it with the yellow under ruffle and wanting to document my crochet pieces and prepare photos for a giveaway. but as I l...

crocheting fingerless gloves

because holy cow it’s cold out here even in New Orleans yes! People say “you’re from Alaska you can’t be cold” but I’m here to argue that I can. In fact. Be cold. Anywhere.

I had to stop all my other projects to start making these for myself. I can’t believe I went so many days biking with cold hands before realizing I could use this alpaca wool to whip up my own warmth.

So far this is the extra simple version or mini fingerless gloves. Which are available very cheap...

concept

documenting loungewear ; is this what vampires wear at home on leisure?

documenting a messy room; will I ever have a clean room?

concept: an abstract idea; a general notion.

a conception; a birth

Don’t let perfectionism get in the way of creating something, conceptualizing. Don’t let unfinished drafts bog you down. I was told recently CREATE MORE THAN YOU CONSUME. I don’t want to enable you to finish nothing but conceptualizing and starting something...

Where do clowns come from? Pt.1

A short write up that in now way encompasses all the ingredients or the recipe that makes a clown. Photo journal entry originally posted on instagram and here I will go more in depth.

photo 1: Foot E. the Clown in my room in New Orleans. I let my friend Faith give me a trim and finally change the shape of my hair slightly. I got some face framing. Some clowns have hair and mine has gone through many evolutions. Long, locked up, cut off, buzz cut, repeated awkward grow outs and buzz cut...

SPOON RINGS

My partner David is making spoon rings. Check out our messy room where he started setting up shop. We found this desk on the street, and luckily it had just come out of a house where I knew the folks inside and the vouched for the table. I love finding useful trash furniture but I have to be more careful about what I bring home. In New Orleans, you HAVE TO CHECK for signs of bugs before you lug a free table or bedside dresser up the stairs to the second floor, where you thennnn find out ther...

On the road photo dump

Driving across Texas to New Orleans. David and I flew into Albuquerque, New Mexico, where L picked us up. We listened to Amarillo by Morning until we made it there last night. We decided we wanted to see more than windmills and truck stops so the gang explored Amarillo's night life.

R R Bar - chill alternative bar with pools tables and air hockey and a solid smokin patioooo. $1 draft beers on Thursday and I saw they have pot stickers amongst the bar food options. I beat L’s ass at ai...

Woodstove video

works in progress October 2024

Woodstove, crochet, laundry… life lately is an ongoing feeling of “keeping up” and I am practicing being grateful for all of the labors of love it takes to be warm and in love. WHether that love is with my partners, friends, art, home etc etc

WOOD STOVE PHOTOS:

Recently, my friend/ landlord helped me put the “dangerous” piping back on this wood stove set up. My friends who built the kokopelli cabin truck made shit work! But according to Jerry, we really need some insul...

Renaissance Fair (early access)

All the photos I have so far from my first ren fair! Wearing a custom ruffle that I’m still finishing. I’m tired today so idk what to say and haven’t gotten much feedback here in a while. But I will keep sharing!

Early upload for you!

CLOWN MAKE UP FOR A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY 🎉🎉🎉 uploading to YouTube is how I have been uploading early releases for y’all. I don’t really have a following or regular practice with YouTube. I have a few videos on there that have been private links for talk that I should probably make public now? yada yada CHOP SUEY

CABIN TRUCK REVEAL !!!

I will tell you the lore of the kokopelli cabin truck…

My friends Jo and Tanner built this beauty years ago. When I was glamping in the bus, there was a summer that they needed somewhere to park. We became neighbors! Btw I call it glamping because I never fully insulated or built out the bus to be a home. Years later after a few trips down the Alaska Canada Highway and back they broke up and eventually decided to sell the truck.

Meanwhile, I spent a few summers in the bus, but u...

Sharing crochet talk/ photos

The weather is slowly getting colder and rainy in Alaska but I captured the sun as best I could yesterday. Hence the photos of me in the light; I’m wearing ruff I made with rainbow yarn and blue n orange buttons with reverse thread colors. On my wrist, you can partially see my new crochet candy aka rave kandi, but with my own twist. I haven’t revealed the kokopelli cabin truck that I am in the process of purchasing (after losing my housing - landlord wanted to move the cottage to his hunt...

ANNOUNCEMENT / tour cancelled due to landslide

LANDSLIDE IN KETCHIKAN - amongst other issues the mini tour was cancelled

I'm going on a southeast Alaska tour!!! I have to practice with my drummer and make graphics / posters to announce it to the world. Stoked to share it here first. Getting flown to Juneau, Ketchikan, and making a stop in Sitka but haven't booked anything there yet. One day my goal is to do a Whole Milk Run Tour 🥛

Crochet and Causeway

Recently, I got back into my crochet mode. This fall/winter I returned to it after 3-4 years of putting it down, and crocheted all winter. In April, I went to New Orleans and took a break. It’s too hot in the summer for that! I’m back in the north, making clown collars, chokers, and balaclavas. Photos included here show some chokers I made and posted for sale elsewhere.

Meanwhile, I am preparing the Causeway for Salmonfest. Here are some photos from clowning last year in the Causewa...

Should I call the song Irish Goodbye

Link to a new tiktok video of that heartbreaker song with an extra line! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8vsLH2U/ 

Just waiting for a brave soul to add some sweet licks to it. "You're not Irish but I wish that you said goodbye..." 

Just posted!!

I got food poisoning and heartbreak this weekend. Here's a quick diddy I just came up with and posted! xoxo thank you for your support. 

Clowncore cottage, memes, inside scoop

Sooo many projects for one little ADHD clown to juggle. From the bus project, to the clown car, to getting high off red paint in this soon to be clowncore cottage / storage space...

Sometimes I wonder if having a patreon is silly. Like what am I really offering and do any of the people subscribed actually pay attention to what I post? I guess it doesn't matter if y'all do read these; I think it's still good for me, in practice to share. Sometimes I don't have something put together for ...

Equinox is coming

memes, Black Butte Center for Railroad Culture, shopping cart status

for your enjoyment 🛒

I played music for a sweet lil event at Black Butte Center for Railroad Culture with some of my favorite street musicians. It's been almost 9 years since I met and last saw Mallory, my friend who plays beautiful old time banjo. It was a blessing to be accompanied by Zen, Mallory, Michael, and Bo.
