Scissors & String

Alternative clothing small business! Making the world a cuter place

This event was so much fun! This month is gonna be busy with events every weekend! I'll do my best to work on the Speedpaints on down time, but I'm also using a good portion of energy to work on the clothing done in time for pride. Thanks much for the support while I navigate so many events!

For all my Colorado friends, come support your local queers this weekend! 🌈 ✨

Here they are! Finally some Madoka for the ones holding out! I thought it would be cute and help the thirst for more Utena by having some outfit swaps! I also noticed a lot of parallels with a pink and purple duo on both shows, both magical girls, and both lesbians! They can take on the patriarchy and smash the world's shell together!

Who should I draw next?

Moomin 🐻‍❄️

Gravity Falls ❓

Steven Universe ⭐

Here's the Third Princess Tutu Speedpaint! Rue is genuinely pretty, I love drawing her! I had to also draw Kraehe and Tutu. I love that Rue and Ahiru aren't pitted against each other at the end. They both find happiness.

Last poll was won by Madoka! I have a sketch already in the works! I really enjoy these polls to see people interacting and enjoying my art! Also lovely to know these anime aren't forgotten.

For all the fans of the Speedpaints I've been doing, I made keychains of my Utena, Tutu, and Princess Tutu designs along with a Sun catcher sticker of my tutu one. They'll be up for purchase at our shop very soon!

Six beautiful Utena Speedpaints! I enjoyed getting a chance to draw all these characters! It feels nice to share my love of Utena! That's why I wanna ask you which one is your favorite?

Which is your favorite Speedpaint/Piece?

Nanami + Touga

Nanami + Snails

Mikage + Mamiya

Chigusa

Juri + Miki

Utena + Anthy

This piece is obviously inspired by JC Leyendecker's Arrow Ad of a dancing couple.

Let me state I do NOT ship Nanami and Touga as they are siblings, I just thought this pose was fitting for the sort of outward appearance they project of finery, luxury, and the perfect siblings.

I also love Nanami's dress and wanted to draw her in it. I thought it was fitting how Touga sort of floats behind her, only there in appearance, but having no true affection for his sister. Nanami is there all in her bright yellow dress, trusting and unaware of the type of person Touga really is

I do have my next Princess Tutu piece coming up, here's a hint: it'll have one of our favorite ravens in it.

I love Ahiru and Fakir so much! This specific image is based on the dance they do together with outfits inspired from Romeo and Juliet ballet photos I found online. I very much ship them and think the way they grow and understand each other is beautiful!

I love the ballet and classic music in Princess Tutu, I also want to do a Nutcracker inspired one sometime down the road. Anyway, please enjoy!

Another Speedpaint, who should I consider?

Bring back the Utena

More Princess Tutu!

Sailor Moon, Please!

Madoka has been waiting...

Finally Kibby in the Your Month Your Kibby series! A little Christmas cat

The long awaited fourth Utena Speedpaint! This one I went for Chigusa Sanjouin from the Utena Sega Saturn game! If you haven't heard of it, it is awesome game and she is the main antagonist (But will never be worst than Akio).

I will be doing another Utena Speedpaint, BUT if I did another anime which one would you like to see?

Next Anime for a Speedpaint?

Princess Tutu

Princess Jellyfish

Madoka Magica

Ranma 1/2

Sailor Moon

Get a Sneak Peek of our next Zine!🩷 This one is very near and dear to my heart as it explores my culture through the lense of an artist. I wanted to go into the beautiful art that originates from Mexico along with my own pieces sprinkled throughout the pages! 🇲🇽🇺🇲🎀✨
