anthropologie window #1 - my first collaboration as a visual display intern!


theme = patterns
materials = cardboard, hot glue, and spray paint
SUCH AN AMAZING FIRST WEEK!!!

my PAINT PALETTE (and scraping it clean...)






oil painting was definitely an adventure last semester! so sad to scrape my palette...but at least I have visual evidence of the crazy colors I mixed.

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SHIRT

As everybody knows, I LOVE everything and anything sparkly or sequined (I've acquired several such pieces from resale / vintage shops...like a moth to a light). This shirt, worn by the creator of the blog This Time Tomorrow , is spot on and just fantastic. 

p.s. I forgot to mention that my last post was the 100th post of eclectic eclaire!

such a strangely COOL approach to drawing the female figure

'a woman from the inside out'

my friend Emma introduced me to this incredibly documented drawing...what if this was how we were taught to draw everything?

TARO ROOT CUPCAKES with Hillary!


My friend Hillary bought some taro root powder the other day and we decided to bake cupcakes!! They were so unexpectedly delicious and had a subtle yet very unique taste. Plus, a very pretty reaction occurred while they were in the oven, resulting in purple and blue-green cupcakes!


The blue taro root powder - it already smelled like cake mix, even before we added the other ingredients!


Hillary with the batter, and lovely mixed-pattern outfit


The purple batter!

frosted and ready to go!
