    I enjoy your weekly vlogs but I thought this style of seeing a design through from building ideas to the finished product (literally!) was so interesting. Love everything you created for this!

    Bravo Alexandra, what a Cute and Colorful Design you created. I bet your fellow students and instructor were blown away by your design and that adorable rug. Hope you sell a lot of products. 😊❤

    The shower curtain is wonderful. I especially love the ducks. Good Lord that rug, I want it so much. It is the best. I very much liked the focus on just one project with all its bits and pieces. Looking forward to what you share next.

    This was just delightful! I really think the green paper was a key moment--it felt iconically true to the period, having that pastel-avocado shade to work onto. I loved this format, following a creative idea through, not instead of your regular vlogs but almost as a natural continuation--we now have a backdrop of what your school life is like, and it's great to follow along a project's process with that knowledge as a base. Thank you! (Also: the rug! The rug!)

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback, it really means a lot to me 🥹💕 I'm so glad you liked the video! I have a few more of these in the editing queue, but they're taking me much longer to finish than I expected.. Hopefully I'll get the next one out soon 😅❤️❤️❤️

    While I have missed the weekly updates of your goings on in classes, I really enjoyed seeing a project from beginning to end. It's sometimes been frustrating enjoying a project you've done then not knowing what happened next or getting an idea of how your grade or evaluation went. This was a great insight to your process. Thanks so much for taking the extra time to show us all.

    I loved watching your process from start to finish. We live in a quirky little 1948 prefab Lustron home - it's mid-century modern and all porcelain covered steel from roof to siding panels to interior walls to ceiling to built-ins. Unique and very funky, and we love it! You are such an inspiration! I've wanted to create a shower curtain for our one and only bathroom in the MCM motif on a clear plastic shower curtain. Now to put on my thinking cap inspired by your creations to make it happen! Thank you! ... & the rubber duckys are fantastic! #quirkylittlelustronhome😀

    You bring such fantastic energy to each of your projects. It's very fun to watch. It was probably just a slip of the tongue but I'm calling it out just in case so it doesn't bite you in a future presentatoin of your cool stuff...tenants occupy rented property, you meant to say tenets. I am forever an English teacher and you are a rockstar designer! Keep up the good work.

    I have (binged) watched all your videos, and have missed your weekly updates. I know you must be really, incredibly busy. I think this format is great and a wonderful record for your portfolio.

    This video style is a good addition to the other way you tell your stories, day to day. Do you think it’s could be possible to print this repeating design on 100% cotton in 42” yardage?

      Thank you!! I use Procreate for the iPad + Apple Pencil and I absolutely looooooove that app. When I'm drawing on my computer, I'm just using Photoshop and a super small Wacom tablet! ❤️
