    There is something so satisfying about watching someone who is a master of their craft go through such a complex process and half the time just doing it based on intuition. SUCH a beautiful outcome Angela!!!!! I am a very very novice sewist and I am about to embark on a super basic project that feels daunting to me so watching you do this elaborate multilayered process is making me feel like I can do my relatively simple project if that makes sense. Thank you for sharing your beauty and skills with the world! Happy holidays!!!

    'Half the time I also can't understand what I'm talking about, and that's why I was given eyes.' 😂 Very relatable.

    This costume is amazing. The textures alone are incredible. It looks so tactile and interesting. I love the gorgeous vibrant colours. The work that went into the garlands was totally worth it. The completed garment is incredible. I adore the cut of the bodice. and the spiral of garland "around" the skirt.
    The construction of the skirts is so involved it still blows my mind you're self-taught.
    I wish you had a picture of you in it with your green hair!
