LET’S JAM — toque— Hot summer nights, mid-July. You and I were forever wild.
My lovely, caring, taurus mother had a dream. A dream in which fresh and decadent fruits cascade along the mid-century dinning table. Moody homemade candle lights brighten the space. A space in which samba, bassa, afro, and electro beats rendezvous.
Enjoy this little mix of that haha. Shoutout to Toque aka Kat for the amazing fucking candles omg.

Cello Cup Ring — Proto 2— IT’S BEEN A MOTHA F*CKIN YEAR! (in Kim Namjoon’s voice)
Got the first .stl modified by a freelancer, thank you Anna. The second time around and wow. I am shook. So happy to pick this project back up. Ring fits well. When in use, I did noticed that the [redacted] doesnt fit as nicely as I wish it would. I think what I’ll do now is to convert the bands to be adjustable on top of other edits. Proto 3 commence.

Tissue Box — Blank Canvas Series — This shirt was the byproduct of having COVID-19 for a week. While being sick, I was bored with the fact that I’m lying doing nothing, so I thought lets make something.
I always had a nose problem and would constantly need tissues. Took the opportunity to make this shirt for the convenice of not having to get up, but simply reaching to my chest pocket for a clean tissue.
Miniture tissue box pocket on a White T-Shirt. 100% recycled cotton, white thread, zipper, compact tissues.

Pillow Case — for fun — I want to make the one with ruffle edges (margi and HBA, but no tuffted buttons). Made from batting, satin, and a neopreme laptop case. Love the idea of carring a pillow around in public transit. Nothing someone would steal so my laptop is in stealth. Multi-functional... fuck yeah.

Dec 25 2021 — Christmas
Presents — for the cali friends — Wanted to make homemade gifts for my cali friends while I was back home. Made (singing in the tone of 12 days of Christmas) 3 bucket hats, 2 pairs of shorts, and a patchwork blanket.
The bucket hat I hope to create more of. The shorts were heavily influenced by BODE senior cords. Me and the homies thought it was such a cool cute concept so I decided to DIY it. Wholesome like that. For the blanket, I used left over scraps of fabric I had lying around. I hope my friends like it hehe.

Buttons — Blank Canvas Series — The thought of using buttons as an embelishment than for functionality tickled my fancy. So I went to thrift stores and etsy looking for bulks of loose/random buttons. Collected enough to then deck out an XL tee. Took me around a week to finish because shiiii hand sewing them one buy one was a workout. One of my favorite pieces.

April 16 2021 — Letter Lei
How to make a Lei — for fun — Shout out to Ayva for being my first test subject haha. This was in line with my previous project “’ilima lei”. I’ve always loved receiving handwritten letters. The effort of someone writing their thoughts and emotions on paper to then gift to a friend as a sign of enderment makes my heart skip several beats.
For this project, I wanted to marry leis and letters together. Thus the letter lei. Free and fun for all ages. Perfect for your youngins elementary graduation, your art-hoe girlfriend’s first showing, or your local mailman’s birthday.
