Okay, So Today's Exam Was Weird, Cause The Teacher Didn't Put Any Of The Art We Technically Had To Study

Custom fantasy- and history-inspired clothing commissions

Do you wish you looked like a little woodland creature that delivers mail to forest denizens? Or a louche 18th-century dandy? Or some type of wizard's apprentice? Well then you're in luck! For the first time in YEARS I am opening to sewing commissions and my absolute favourite thing is to help people live their hobbitty dreams.

What I do:

Anything!

Well... okay. Most things. I'm particularly good at gender-affirming historical clothing, nontraditional wedding/celebration attire, and historybounding or fantasy inspired outfits. I mostly make clothing for everyday wear, but I'm also happy to work on cosplays.

I especially like to make poet shirts/pirate shirts (call them what you like, it's the Mr. Darcy shirt) as well as capes and cloaks of all stripes. But like I said, I'm open to most things. I like to collaborate—so come to me with an idea or some inspiration characters, and we'll talk. I also love vests.

One type of project I particularly love is making unique wedding attire. I'm not your best choice for white dresses or tuxedos, but if you want something really unique (or especially something fantasy-inspired) for your wedding, show me your Pinterest board! Below are some photos of me and my wife in the gowns I made, but I'm super interested in making things that aren't dresses as well, like decorative waistcoats or very dramatic wedding capes. Please note that for fitted bodices, we'll need to coordinate some type of fitting, either in-person or by mail.

How much it costs:

You tell me! Instead of having fixed prices, I want to hear what you can afford and then adjust what I make to get to that. I'm very transparent with my pricing: I need you to cover the cost of materials, shipping, and a reasonable hourly rate for my labour.

Realistically, a garment made from scratch isn't going to be comparable to the low costs you'll see for fast fashion; and the more frills you want (hand stitched lacing holes, trim, fully hidden seams, very specific tailoring, etc.) the more it's going to cost. So come to me with your budget and we'll talk from there!

How to reach me:

You can always send me a message on tumblr, but the best way to reach me is through my email: arielle.marina.d@gmail.com

And if you like my work but aren't interested in having something made yourself, please reblog or share with your friends to spread the word!

4/30 days of productivity

Sometimes productivity is drinking tea while in your work break while being with one of your coworkers and drawing them because they are in the perfect relaxed position. What I'm trying to say is that productivity is not just doing one hundred assignments but also doing one.

Plethora of colours in chemistry lab 👩🏻‍🔬

5/30 Productivity day

This is one is for introduction to color, which is my favorite class. I'm this exercise we need to copy a drawing and colour it in the warm and cold colors, which is unexpectedly hard, because this drawing has both, when I finish this assignment I'll post it all together.

quotes from exam week:

"you look good for someone who got dragged to class at 7 am"

"can I take a nap on your boobs? just a little nap?"

"TWINSIES" *clink celsius cans*

"have you tried the Beverage?" "I can hear the ominous capitalization there."

"ladies we are crying dying and whining out here"

"so I know it's 9am-" *class groans* "-but I believe in you all!" *class groans louder*

"coffee! monster! tequila! death!"

"where are your shoes" "what is this, a restaurant?"

"is it too late to seduce the ta"

*pulls a mini stapler out of bra* "REJOICE! YOUR SAVIOR IS HERE!"

"that's it I'm changing my major" "to what?" "whatever's easy" "cops?"

"shawty got that dark circle sexiness"

"after this, we PARTY!" "dude, after this, I'm taking a fucking nap"

WHAT'S GOING ON IN SPAIN AND HOW YOU CAN HELP even if you live in a different country

Please read!!

Since October 29, Spain has been going through one of the worst flash floods of this century. The Community of Valencia has been the most affected, but the cold drop also passed through the south-west and is moving now to the north-east.

So far, 211 bodies have been found, and more than 2000 people are still missing. Most fatalities are from Valencia, entire towns are ravaged and isolated as they don't have electricity and the roads have been destroyed. A lot of people has lost their home, more than 15k homes don't have eletricity and they are in need of food, water and hygienic products

The reason Valencia was the most affected is because, despite given a warning 5 days before from the AEMET (Spain's official meteorological agency) of the possible mass floodings due to the cold drop, and the same morning of the catastrophe, it's authorities didn't warn it's people. Valencia's government waited 12h after the last warning from the AEMET (and it's president even said it would subside 2h before the floodings) before declaring the red alert, at 8pm. By then, many people was already caught in the flood while going or coming back from work.

Although politicians must be accountable, our priority is to help those in need, most which have lost their house, belongings and means to live. Because of this, here are some fundraisers and non-profits you can donate to help both people and animals that have been affected (these are from the thread I've just posted, but I'll add more if I find them!):

Horta Sud is a county in Valencia that has been the most affected by the floodings. People are leaving their houses because they're scared of the infrastructure getting damaged and even walking by foot to Valencia capital to get food.

I'll add more fundraising campaigns I find on Twitter/Bluesky, but until then, please consider helping in any way you can! Even if it's just by sharing!

So, I'm finishing studying for my final test, in which I need to know the different laws in history that protects the art of each country. Is interesting but intense, since I also need to know the different types of concepts and the history between those movements and why they did it.

This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful
