My Inventory: A Start~

Along with my physical Spring Cleaning I'm also taking inventory(?) of all that I made this past year. I'm also working on my behance profile, pretty emppty, for now.  I haven't photographed it all. (I'm not so good with a camera)

Please remember: Don't Steal Art, Share it! :D If anything here inspires you to make your own drawings- awesome, but don't take someone's work, not cool. I hope ya like, and if so, let me know :) we love to hear people appreciate/like what we do, puts us in a dapper mood.
Here's some of them :D **
This is in series of silkscreen prints I made. The original is a watercolor painting I made.

Another silkscreen print, but the drawing itself I drew back in highschool, I just made a screen for it a made a bunch of prints

 If your thinking this is another print from a drawing I made /:).... Nope!, not exactly. Yes another print but from a digital illustration I created with photoshop- ok yeah that illustration came from a drawing soo kindaa
 Only one of her. Yes I dig jewelry, and in my culture the GOLD is sooooooo elaborate, I love it! I'd really like to make to my own, but its not like making my own clothes :/

I think when I post more stuff, I'll categorize and also show details and my stages- I like looking at them from artists.

Urmmi's Grad Dress:Quickpic

My current project: Make a super dress for my older sis Urmmi to wear for her graduation (She's graduating college :') she's growing up- not literally though, because I'm taller~)

My original idea was to make a sky blue dress for her, but the store I get my fabric had 1 yard of blue left, and I can't make a long flowy dress with one yard. So I got red and white instead, she's attends Stony brook and one of the school's colors is red so it's cool~
I'm in the School of Visual Arts (red's also our color)- this recent semester I was taking a digital embroidery class. After I finished my final project I embroidered this design which is the front of her dress :D!
I drew a design a while back, and with Photoshop and my trusty Wacom Tablet I rearranged it soo many times, this one variation of that design I made. There's a computer software linked to the embriodery machine, kinda like Photoshop, and you design, choose what patterns threads, everything you want the machine to do. I used a silver thread, it's all one continuous fill :).


Here's a quick pic of it. My head in the back~
(Looks like a silkscreen print)
I'm almost done, a more in depth post/look of the dress soon :)

First Post*

Greetings and Salutations!
Hello to anyone who stops on by, and thank you in advance :)

My name's Shurmmi and I'm constantly making. I'm always hesitant of the title 'artist' especially in today's world.  Drawings, paintings, dresses, etc. (If your wondering, yup I drew my banner pic.) Anything that will comfort, put smiles on faces. Yes, I create Beauty- that right there can mean a lot of things. My pencil is my best (inanimate) friend. I LOVE to draw, if I was a video game character that would be my specialty ;D ~ well maybe, it sounds kinda pathetic if the other characters could use magic or weapons and actually do stuff... Anyways~ Aside from my pencil there's my nifty sewing machine. I'm still a novice at sewing, but I still sew on. (I get all happy and giddy when seeing my sister fit comfortably and confidently in a dress I've made) Most of what  I know about garment construction, I taught myself through trial and error. I've cut out so many patterns out of my dad's newspaper~  I tried the blog before but that didn't work out too well, hopefully this time I'll last longer. It's just like writing in a journal, except just documentation of things I make.  :)
