My two hand painted lepidoptera hair clips.
Now with a fancy "aesthetic" background as I had some banana leaves handy.
I had to cut some banana leaves down at work yesterday as they were threatening to grow through the greenhouse roof. So I took some pictures before putting the leaves in the avary so the birds could have a nibble.
I made the hair clips out of an old pair of jeans, acrylic paint, hot glue and French barrette hair clips.
I cover the process of making them in a previous post. If you fancy giving it a go, I would love to see what you make.
So it turns out putting wood varnish on cheap plastic frames actually works amazingly
Who knew 🤷♀️

I’ve recently gotten a sewing machine and I just finished a project I’m really proud of!
It’s my friends birthday soon and I decided to make her a purse out of some of my old pre-transition clothes that i don’t wear anymore
I’m really happy with it, it definitely has it’s mistakes but for 2 months of machine sewing and my 4th project I think it’s pretty good :)
(also don’t mind the bad photo quality It’s really dark this time of year so the lighting is shit 🥲)
