some drawings my mom did when she went to fashion design school
⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆
I remember one of her classes made her learn color theory, and I spent an entire afternoon with her sitting at the dining table. We had what felt like hundreds of markers in every shade of any color you could imagine and we, one by one, colored in each square using every marker color combo possible. After it was a beautiful rainbow gradient of alcohol marker, ones that ended up drying out because she never finished school. It kinda feels like I am following in her footsteps sometimes and that scares me… but who knows what the future holds. I love you, mom 🖤happy Mother’s Day (a few days late but she isn’t reading my tumblr posts as far as I’m aware...)
