DAY 31

DAY 31

     It feels great to be finishing the last day of my first month of "365 days of GiGiBunni"!  I got restless the other day and decided I want to play around with some jewelry making!  Look at what I came up wtih! THIS!


They have Vintage 80s plastic records with bells! 
They were on a keychain, so I attached them to some chains and fish hook earrings. 
They measure  at 4" long


These earrings are super RAD!

DAY 30

DAY 30

  I'm almost done with my first month of 365 days of GiGiBunni and I couldn't be happier! I'm still trying to perfect my time management with fitting it into my daily routine, but I'm getting better at it ;)
     Check out this new HOOKAH BOY t-shirt I just posted :)


hookah boy is a androgynous, curvy fellow who aids his anxiety by making sure to smoke multiple hookahs a day and get plenty of sleep. After bathing, he twists his beautiful locks up into a turban until his next bath. A gentle boy, he his easily provoked if without hookah in hand.


I hand carve linoleum, ink it with a roller using silk screening ink, and then make my print by pressing down with my hands and a rolling pin! Truly one of a kind!

I put all of my clothes in the dryer after being printed so the heat sets the ink. No fear of it washing away!

   Alright, straight to the point, DAY 29! FIDDLE FISH appears on a long sleeve shirt!


the fiddle fish is a very lonely fish. while all of his other fish friends are swimming around, he just stays in his cave and plays fiddle for hours and hours on end. although wanting to be social he knows if he practices non stop he will be the best fiddle fish ever.

DAY 27

DAY 27

 I have had a very long day, and it was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but I refuse to let that fail my daily blog goal! 
  Here is DAY 27 of 365 days of GiGiBunni! This HIPPIE GIGIBUNNI Tshirt is truly one of a kind!


gigibunni is a peaceful French Bulldog (piggy monster) with outrageously long ears. she enjoys laying her belly in the cooling waters of brooklyn fire hydrants, or warming her goods on a nearby stove. although her sweet demeanor, her farts are the opposite. even she will leave the room if she "spoils the air"


One of a kind!

DAY 24


DAY 24

     This is why I love Austin, it is January but yet it is 79 degrees outside.  I don't know how long it'll last, but for now I'm going to open all the windows, play my favorite bossa nova ( Caetano Veloso ) and I'm going to bike to work in a tank top.

     So in the spirit of beautiful weather, let me show you some beautiful clothes.  I LOVE the light and airy painterly flowers on this Vintage Dress!  


This dress has two buttons on each cuff. The back has a peephole with another button. There are also small shoulder pads, but they are not very obvious. 



There is no tag saying what the fabric is, but it is light weight and silky. The top portion is lined.

DAY 19


  Today was the first of three days off in a row (yay!) so I used it as my "i'm going to bike around and look at things day".  After going to a SXSW meeting, I somehow found myself thrifting...

  How AMAZING is this VINTAGE  JACKET I found?


I knew I needed to post it right away.

The print has big dark blue, light blue and purple flowers on it, with a silvery thread woven into the fabric.
