rare hobby post!! Upcycling clothes and trying to fix up this harp!!! (Patreon)

I started this upcycling project a while ago but picked it up again recently for a craft night with my friend. I've been wanting to allow myself to spend more time with things I like that I don't have a professional relationship to.

I created the stars with thrifted foam stamps and fabric ink on fabric from an old tee shirt I cut into a sleeveless shirt, and I sewed in on top of the black shirt's Champion logo using a whip stitch.

Tonight I did a bunch of research on the lever harp that I found on the side of the road. To my disappointment, it's not a quality instrument, but may be usable as a beginner instrument. The levers, when engaged, are supposed to raise the pitch of the string by a half step. A bunch of them raise the pitch by a whole step instead on the harp I have. I may get strings and a tuning key for it and see what I can get out of it! When the universe gives you a harp, you don't take it for granted.

As it turns out, there are going to be some more sessions for The Grand Scream and I won't have more news for a week or so probably because of scheduling and behind-the-scenes work. Thanks for sticking around in the meantime. <3
