Designed: I Make Beautiful Things
February 6, 2013My friend Annie told me that Michael's is the place to go for hot pink tees, so I bought one as soon as I could. I thing it's men's sizing, but since it's made out of a thinner, drapier knit, the oversized fit looks good.
I wore it a few times plain before I set it aside in my studio for a little overhaul. As I was prepping for Alt Summit, the idea of this shirt came to mind, and it just seemed to fit perfectly. I had originally painted the saying: "I'm gonna make beautiful things" but I wanted to be a little more tongue-in-cheek rather than aspirational, so I vectorized it and took out "'m gonna". I certainly didn't want to come across as conceited when wearing this tee, and I really hope I didn't.
I just wanted to show potential partners and sponsors that I have a sense of humor and that I really do try to make pretty things.
I vectorized this quote and cut it out using my Silhouette and some iron-on heat transfer.
I wear this top all the time. Like every day, if it's not dirty. I also made the leggings out of some thrifted knit I scored for $3. Now I have two pairs of floral pants! My dreams have come true!
