Oxidation


Noteworthy findings of a shopping jaunt through Allsaints, Barneys, Forever 21, and Bloomingdale's... plus an inevitable mini-layover at Starbucks to refuel our spending mood machines.

Speaking of shopping, I've teamed with Stolen Thunder and Thompson Fifteen so be sure to visit, follow and love them!

Bella, what I love about this post so much is that you have taken us on your shopping trip with you, not just the display of goodies at the end. One of the things that makes shopping fun is looking at the different imaginative displays. Thanks for including that.

It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences.

Having never been given such an incredibly surreal opportunity before, you can imagine my absolute surprise... followed by some sort of psychotic jubilation. At the time, I'd only been drawing for about a month, which means the designs you're seeing are some of my very first artworks!
