I love create all types of art, in many different mediums, but recently I have been diving into all things rave and festival accesories. I create all different kinds of pony bead art (kandi) that can be wearable (gas masks, light up hoods with fuzzy ears, chest harnesses, cuffs, and much more) i also create fuse bead art (some that lights up, some with rhinestones, wedding boquets of flowers) also create reusable hair extensions (rave braids) and different types of jewelry.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything, especially music. Art is everywhere. Its always all around us, and I choose to find the beauty and art in things and let them inspire me to create more fun and add more color to the world. Life can be so heavy (especially as a chronically ill person) and trying to find ways to lift some of the weight of life by creating fun things is a passion, and helps keeps me sane. Everyone should find their form of art/their passion and create as much of it as possible.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off student loans, and any other debts, restock some supplies, and hopefully use some money to put a down-payment on a home, where I could grow roots, and have my own studio space to create more art.
