decora kei inspires me 💕 !!! (yapping)

hello :) even though i don't dress in decora kei, i've been into jfashion for a very long time (i have promised myself that one of the first things i will put money towards once i get a job in my profession is my first egl coord. in the meantime, my personal style leans heavily towards aristocrat or mori kei depending on the day)

my friend introduced me to making kandi singles last year, and i've found i really like making colorful things even though they don't match my personal style lol. it's been really therapeutic to see bright colors and cute things while i sort out my post-grad life

recently, seeing the cool accessories people make and wear here has been inspiring me to try to make new things. after months of making only bracelets, i made my first necklace today!!!!! hopefully when i acquire more materials i can make it more colorful

i also was inspired by the hair additions i've been seeing people add to their hair, so i tried doing that to an already-scuffed sonny angel and IMMEDIATELY fucked it up LOL. i don't like how it looks and i imagine it's been done before but it was very cathartic to make. for now it's a charm that sits on my worktable

if you've read this up to this point thank you :) everything that you all do is so awesome. i'm adding some other images of what i've made that i have listed on my shop page to showcase some of my other creative stuffs. they're looking for fun and colorful homes. but mostly i just wanted an excuse to talk about jfashion and how this sub has been pushing my creative boundaries. thank you for listening and please let me know if i'm overstepping 🙏🙏

cool color :)

off-white/eggshell white palpatophora magnastoma that a friend gifted to me <3 i've never seen this color before, so i'm not sure how common it is

i put it next to a white porrectofrontus mechadeus specimen for comparison

i made another zooble single for a friend for when we went to see the movie, but i wanted to have my own! i didn't intend to keep it, but i've grown really attached to it <3

watermelon smoothie

here is my watermelon smoothie recipe from last night (i was struggling to get the ratios of watermelon to jalapeños right because they were diced up and stuck inside eachother in my dream!):

- 1/4 watermelon (frozen)

- 2 jalapeño peppers (also frozen)

- several spoonfuls of talenti mango sorbet

and then you blend it in the blender :)

grateful for this community

hi, everyone :) wanted to showcase some things i made again! occlupanology has made me think more deeply about the simple everyday things around me. something about the simplicity and shape of breadclips really inspires me, and i'm happy others feel the same :)

in pic:

  1. palpatophora utiliformis

  2. porrectofrontus colwelli

  3. admordorsum floridensis (i wiped off the markings while attempting to clean it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ lesson learned: Do Not use alcohol wipes to clean occlupanids they are too strong. also i'm still really bad at identifying tridentidae so if this is wrong Please correct me)

pasco gachapon

hi! this is my at-length reply to u/holiday-paper-5536 about the pasco bread gachapon since i happen to have one and i'm hoping other find it interesting!

the occlupanid (d. wangi) is 1 inch long (not including the little bit that the chain attaches to), and the oral groove happens to be able to fit the bread bag that it comes with. i don't know if this is the case for the other four gachapon items in this series, but it is the case for the one i have :)

would be excited to compare if anyone have others in the series!!! for those interested, there are listings of these on depop, mercari, and ebay

gorgeous palpatophora utiliformis (blue) and porrectofrontus mechadeus specimens (unless i'm completely off please correct me if i am) i transformed into bracelet charms

no occlupanids harmed in the process (i am a certified piercer but ONLY for occlupanids. NOT humans)
