You may have seen my sarcastic twitter persona @CoKaneFriendly, now meet the other side: A Rumi quoting, spring sappling hugging, paintbrush pushing life enthusiast.

I LOVE BACK CHAT.

Matt and I went to a thrift store while in Vegas and I bought a few men’s shirts to alter (I like to get a medium or large so there’s more room for error, and also so there’s more fabric left over for other projects) I fit the bodice to my waist and cut the shoulders at the seam (the shirt was so big that the sleeve seam started past the slope of my shoulders, giving me a perfect place to transform it into the cap sleeve) I then used a bright embroidery floss to gather the neckline in opposite diagonal directions to expose just a little clavicle, and to gather the sleeves to get rid of any belling. I opted to use the same bright yellow floss on the sleeves to show the exposed neckline gathering wasn’t a mistake, but obviously part of the design.   I need to learn to start taking before pictures.

Walking down the alley to my apartment, I came across a bunch of old windows stacked against the dumpster.
*Total Score* I thought. I would bring these home and use them as canvases.

Two weeks later, and not a drip of paint coated the glass. 
Today after class I felt especially optimistic, as my teacher had complimented me very highly on my French.
So, I went out, bought some celebratory cheeses and a baguette, had a snack, and decided before my sieste I would take my first whack at oil painting.

Since it’s on glass it was pretty tricky, but taking into account it was my first try, I think it turned out pretty well!
