About Me

© AV_layouts
CLICK BANNER TO VISIT MY WEBSITE:
My name is Maria and I create DIY apparel and accessories.
All items are made with love and care and will not leave my hands until I am satisfied with the quality and workmanship.
I am a one woman home-based operation. A great deal of time is spent in getting the right fabric and embellishments that satisfy my customers.
My clothing is made with you --- all of you --- in mind. That means I make clothes in all sizes because that's the real world. Everyone deserves to have clothing that is stylish and fashionable - in all tastes and in all sizes and for all ages.
I make all clothing and purses myself. Either newly constructed from scratch or the occasional t-shirt revamped into a corset top. At times, you'll even find doggie bandanas. My daughters will even throw into the mix one of their hand-painted song lyric skirts - a very hot item!
You will also find that I love to scour flea markets and thriftstores to bring you gently used vintage items at bargain prices.
Custom and/or commissioned pieces are always available. If you have a tee that you would like revamped or a skirt you would like hand painted, etc. - please feel free to contact me!!!
Above are slides of my recent creations. If YOU see something YOU like and want one for YOURSELF - please feel free to contact me!
If you want to know more about me, then check out my alter ego: "A Slave To My Addiction". That's my personal profile and the first on my friends list.

I'd like to meet:

I accept all friend requests - what's the point of myspace if you don't network. Note to all you wannabe man-hos who "collect girls" - go ahead and add me but know that I will use your comment section as blatant advertisement for my clothing!
VIVA LA D.I.Y. REVOLUTION - BUY THEIR STUFF!
If you would like to exchange banners - just let me know!

Music:

My favorite band: INDIGENOUS - they are a Native American blues/rock band. They have a new album out! I saw them in concert once at the Cherokee Survivors Bike Rally in N.C. - stood in the pouring rain just to see them and it was so worth it! Check them out on myspace as indigenousrocks.

Movies:

I will watch just about any horror or supernatural movie ever made - no matter how cheesy it is! Can't explain it - I have been fascinated by the macabre since I was a child. V for Vendetta and The Matrix Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, or quirky indie films such as Bagdad Cafe, Powder and Like Water For Chocolate. Lest I forget: Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 - totally kicks ass!

Television:

Grissom is the shit! CSI (the original one set in Vegas-baby)!
KING OF THE HILL - since I personally know someone who is like every character on that show!
JUNKIN' - totally southern - love it! That would be a freaking dream job to do that show!
PROJECT RUNWAY - oh, the drama!
WEEDS - hell yea!
SCRUBS - intelligently funny!
BERNIE MAC - true to life funny!
MY NAME IS EARL - laugh out loud funny!
NIP/TUCK - sexy and provocative!
FAMILY GUY - politically incorrect!

Books:

Anything by Sherman Alexie; the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison; the Anita Blake series by Laurel K. Hamilton; the Marketplace series by Laura Antoniou; Anne Rice; Stephen King. SUGGESTED READING: God Is Red by Vine Deloria Jr.
