I’m hoping this reaches the right person
Wood carving is a dying art. I’m lucky enough to know one of the last living master carvers, Sayatt; in Hollywood CA. In 3 years, Sayatt will be retiring & shutting down his historic family business. Then that’s it.
🧵
We are in an age where so many hand crafts are being replaced or dying out.
So, I��m hoping to help Sayatt before his well deserved retirement.
Sayatt is hoping to pass down his craft.
If you are willing to learn, they are willing to teach.
(Below: custom frame he made me)
soooooo tiktok gets banned in the US but not the KKK, conversion therapy, AK47s, Pyramid scams, cannibalism, etc etc etc etc add to this list if you want to. I hate it here
Sayatt is hoping to find an apprentice who is serious about learning (not being on their phone all day). Apprenticeships are never easy! This type of craft requires a lot of discipline, focus, and care (because you could seriously injure yourself if you’re not paying attention)
My heart is going to shatter when they close their doors forever.
If you know someone who may be interested in the apprenticeship, DM me.
Serious inquiries only, please.
I’m also going to be helping Sayatt sell some spare pieces they have around the shop. So follow me if you’d like to get your hands on one of a kind hand carved art!
Thanks!!
In the video above, you might notice my guy on the right is missing a few fingers. This is why it’s paramount for these artists have disciplined focus in the shop.
I don’t wish to scare any potential candidates away but it’s important to know the risks. Safety first!
I’m pink again!!! After a year of trying out different colors, I was really missing my signature pastel pink. I just don’t feel like myself without it!
Say it with me... "I will not feel guilty for leaving friends who consistently pushed me away."
It's ok to feel hurt. it's ok to treasure the good memories you shared. it's ok to feel confused. It's ok to miss them.
But do not feel guilty, my friends. <3
I wish I had more rooms to decorate bc I’m dying to do a sad girl periwinkle room with ivory chiffon and baby’s breath … but for now, here’s my scorned starlet pink bedroom
I’ve been holding this in for a long time and I just need to get this off my chest...
The colourpop sailor moon collection was insultingly basic. Im tired of companies slapping the SM logo on junk and cashing in on fandom passion.
We deserved better
Hey. The abuse you went through it not your fault.
Enduring it does not mean you "let it happen"
you are strong and deserving of love and respect.
the end.
Is this photo too sexy or ?... I just posted it on Instagram and instantly lost hundreds of followers. I’ve been showing my butt on insta for 10 years. This ain’t new.
I will never forget how mad people got when I dyed my dog’s fur pink.
Not because they thought the dye could hurt him. But because he was boy. Pink not for boy. Pink make boy dog gay. Dog no gay. Dog blue. Blue mean straight dog boy. Man dog blue.
Things I wish they taught us in school..
- sign language
- finances/taxes/savings
-emotional coping
-Colombus did not discover America
Feel free to add in to this list! 😊
We need to stop this "never give up" mentality..
Many of my life's biggest regrets is not quitting. I ignored my inner voice and "pUlLeD mYseLf uP By ThE Bo0tsTraPs" and forced myself to do things I didn't want to do.
no success came from that. just wasted time and pain
My boyfriend and I spent all day building a giant sheet fort in my parking spot. We went all out with a projector screen, air conditioning, and mattress toppers.
Might be the best day ever
My career on YouTube hasn’t been growing or progressing in spite of my relentless hard work and dedication.
Tmrw I’m recording a pilot for a new business venture that could really change my life. It’s something I’ve never done before- but I want so badly, it hurts.
Wish me luck

yep. especially now that we've drawn a full circle with Manson's ties to white supremacy, fascism, and violence against women.
guess they were right.
My boyfriend is so pure and nurturing.
He's been teaching me how to cook, I face timed him while I was marinating a chicken and he walked me through everything step by step. The food came out great. He got all teary-eyed from being proud of me. Prolly gonna marry him.
You know why I hate the holidays? They are designed to target our emotions. They make me feel like I’m alone. Like I’m missing something or someone in my life. Holidays emphasis how broken my family is. The holidays can die and go to hell.
My next door neighbor is from Vietnam and speaks very little English. He spends most of his time outside gardening or washing his car. When I bring Toshi out he gets so excited and GUSHES with love every time. He pets him and speaks sweet things softly. Toshi loves that guy.
Have you ever had someone tell you that an activity or hobby you love is a waste of time or frivolous? DONT LISTEN TO THEM
We need play time. Finding joy in seemingly meaningless things is what makes the human experience so beautiful. we need to PLAY to feel alive.
I don’t really like sharing too much of my personal life anymore.. but I just wanna say, 1/2 a year on lithium, I’m finally the person I knew deep down I could be
It took years to find the right medication to stabilize me. So I hope this offers a little hope if you’re struggling
There are days where I regret my boob job. They're heavy. clothes don't fit right. ppl are always staring and making me uncomfortable..
but then I'll see myself naked in the mirror and I'm like OHH YELLLL YEAAAHHH TIDDIEESSSS!!
❤️update: My mentor helped me get the tufting done. I’m considering building a platform inside so it’s like a bed
We’re getting closer to finishing but I’m buried under work and super behind on commissions 😅
And yes I see the heart is a little uneven, I’m gonna fix it with trim
My mentor stopped by to help me fix my drape project. My math was off so I ended up with an extra panel somehow. But not bad for my first time draping a ceiling by myself!
Hey you... yeah, YOU! it's ya boi, Kelly eden here. and ya boi wants to tell you that you are beautiful. you are worthy. you are capable of making all your dreams come true.
My best friend
@omystephanie
is too pure and good for this world. She took care of me for a week straight! Cooking, cleaning, making sure I take my meds, driving me to my check-up appointments, and so much more.
What can I even say to express my gratitude and love for this human
