“You’ve got your mother in a whirl She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl Hey babe, your hair’s alright Hey babe, let’s go out tonight You like me, and I like it all We like dancing and we look divine You love bands when they’re playing hard You want more and you want it fast They put you down, they say I’m wrong You tacky thing, you put them on!”
Loved doing my little swamp witch photoshoot a little while ago, but wanted to do a more masculine outfit. Sometimes I feel like I go femme when I dress up because it’s easier to feel attractive that way, but it can’t quite compare to the kick I get from feeling androgynous and confusing. All that Bowie defiance and mystery. In this shoot, I was trying to capture a little of that with a summer Goth look.

Remember that flannel I was so excited about ice-dying? Just finished turning it into a cozy #yukata for my sister, a much-belated housewarming present. The most time consuming part was the #sashiko stitching on the collar and pockets. Bit of a bigger project than I expected, but so very happy with the results. ☁️☁️☁️☁️ #CRAFTEDbyNora #handmade #handsewn #handdyed #handdyedfabric #icedye #icedyedclothing #flannel #flannelrobe #handmadeclothing #kimono #diy #sashikostitching #sashikoembroidery #icedyedfabric #sashikostitch #handsewnwithlove #handsewnbyme https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFlZqGlOM_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a62lxf844k7e
Another custom piece by #CRAFTEDbyNora ! The client requested a personalized charm bracelet with a “Family Tree” charm and a birthstone for every member of the family. Stainless steel and Swarovski crystal, durable yet elegant!
I always love working on special pieces for a specific person. Maybe I feel more connected to the piece because I care about the person it’s for, maybe I just like knowing what I’m working on is wanted or needed.
My “Botticelli’s Creature” is on its way to a new home! One of my favorite drawings that came out of #mabsdrawlloweenclub2018 !!!

My first hand carved stamp commission is on its way to its forever home! This one is going to be used to stamp the inside covers of a personal library. Neat! Now I need one…
CRAFTEDbyNora is always up for custom projects and commissions. There is very little that I can’t do, and usually then because I don’t have the equipment.

I didn’t manage to make it through all 31 prompts for Mab’s Drawloween Club this year, but I did manage 13 of them, so I guess that’s alright.

My last drawing from #mabsdrawlloweenclub2018 , only finished it last night. ALIEN. Take me with you! . A drawing every day was a TOUGH challenge. I guess I could have done less involved pieces but that felt like cheating. Plus I had to keep up with all of the AMAZING art that everyone else was producing. . October was just a rough month in general. Not enough mental or physical energy and too many disturbing or tragic events. Def care took priority over a lot of other things this month. . Hope you all had a spooky Halloween!
