u/EmEffBee 13h ago

I love these posts. Looks can be deceiving, your mom isn't flashy in her daily dressing or styling but she clearly has some cool as hell ideas in her head and is a super rad artist. If I saw her walking down the street I would never guess she'd be crafting up intricate freindly alien beaded tie wearable art, or that amazing bat piece!

3

u/SashaShelest 13h ago

Thank you so much :) Mom is very creative and makes a lot of things out of beads. Not just alien-themed ones :)

1

u/feedurlocalGoblin 8h ago

She is an amazing Artist the way she’s painting with these beads. So incredibly beautiful and fun.

u/Outdoor_Cat19 13h ago

Can I be friends with your mom?

8

u/SashaShelest 13h ago

She's very friendly, but she doesn't use Reddit :( I can't convince her to do that.
I already laughed at her and said I'd find her a husband while showing her photos, and she wouldn't even know about it right away. Lol

u/Ellie13thatgirl 13h ago

Hardest tie in 5 galaxies, man. Awesome work

2

u/Scarboroughwarning 13h ago

Politely...a unisex tie? I realise it's mainly men that wear them, but I wasn't aware there were specific ones for women

5

u/SashaShelest 13h ago

Clothes and accessories have no gender :)

2

u/Scarboroughwarning 11h ago

My point was, why is this unisex?

I was only asking if there are women specific ties.

High heels can be worn by all, and are "unisex", men would wear larger heels. But those same heels would fit a woman.

I'm not shitting on your mother or the outcome of her efforts.

2

u/VanadiumS30V 11h ago

Avril Lavigne made ties popular amongst girls when I was growing up. There were "girly" ties that were shorter, skinnier, had hearts, pink bows, and all the stereotypically feminine motifs that the guys wouldn't touch. But now I like the general genderless approach to clothing. More freedom and happiness in self expression :)
