when your scraps of yarn and tiny balls of yarn become super handy. good tip: save your bits of yarn. u never know when it’ll become useful!
I did this portrait piece for a school project on a book called “no-no boy”, on the main protagonist who is centered around liminality, patriotism, American-ness and whiteness, intersectional identities, legal and cultural citizenship.

Yesterday, I did my first ever pop up holiday market hosted by Asian American Art Alliance at their December Town Hall Event. And first off, I wanna say the real mvp…is my mom! She had a full long day at work and she willingly helped me trek in the depressing and merciless weather in the wet rain, mounting around a huge luggage with all of our knitted and crocheted goods across the mta and city. Despite the gloomy weather conditions, there were a few wanderers and shoppers that came out to support us young, local, and sprouting artists! business was a bit slow at first but sales picked up later (after begging them to help pay off my student debt HAHAHA). it was a huge learning curve for an amateur like me and it was super delightful to meet and be within the space of so many other talented asian artists near me♥️ also, really happy that I made a few new friends as well. Now to build my inventory and invest in better set up equipment so I work on making a grand display the next time I table. #indieart #handcraftedawesomeness #popup #holiday #nanaskollectionf (at W83)
my students and I just finished creating our exhibit piece to highlight their hard work! They put together a duck automobile that is currently being hung from the ceiling among all other other exhibiting pieces by represented 40+ artists all over the world. Within a few months, these 2 have strengthen their finess in crochet/knitting!!! I am so proud of them :D (at RESOBOX)
