Mwar head garlands of bougainvillea and ylang ylang.
Shells, beads, silk, cotton, crepe, wood... a lovely mess.
A lovely pleated cotton tube with South American belt. I sometimes display this as soft sculpture, but I think I may make this into a dress this year.
Some jewelry and a top I did 3yrs ago. I'm kind of loving pearls and cotton lace again.
A leather hatlet I made. I like the shot of pink with the gilt ribbon, contrasted against dark, black leather. I need to get my hands back into the leather stash.
A gorgeous Korean hanbok found thrifting. I love this piece.
A dewy morning at my mother's house in Saipan.
A few pieces of my growing bangle/cuff collection.
Sometimes kitsch is beautiful.
This shimmers in the barest breeze.

eyeloveit! esp. the floaty fabrics made all crinkly combined with "natibu" you know? and the gold shiny is an awesome glamour touch so it doesn't get too rustic LOL
the sartorialist is coming to manila in september!
yeah, i'm feeling very inspired by african and southeast asian folk costumes. loving the heavy mix of metals on color clashing. i'm at the sewing machine this week to hopefully get something going.
i'm surprised the sartorialist hasn't done manila yet. i can't wait to see what ensembles he shoots.
