Thick black smoke billows from the forward superstructure of the USS Arizona as it sinks into the waters of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The devastating Japanese attack left the battleship in ruins, claiming the lives of 1,177 crew members. The inferno rages as twisted metal and broken structures collapse into the sea, marking one of the darkest days in American history. This tragedy propelled the United States into World War II, forever changing the course of global events.

The boots worn by the actors portraying American soldiers in “Saving Private Ryan” were made by the same company that supplied boots for American soldiers during the Second World War. #FACT

#historymirrormonday featuring several recent projects! I'm modeling my brand new corded petticoat over the corset and chemise I previously made, and my as of then unfinished bustle gown also makes an appearance. Someday I need to get myself a wider mirror, as this is the largest one we have! . . . . #victorian #costume #sewing #handmade #1840s #queenvictoria #costumer #historicalcostuming #historicalfashion #historicalcostume #historicalevent #1840sfashion #1840sdress #victorian #victorianfashion #victorianclothing #victoriandress #bustle #bustledress #bustlegown #1870s #1870sfashion #corset #victoriancorset #cordedpetticoat https://www.instagram.com/p/CBd3dEzAFAI/?igshid=103bjq81gbz9i

I completed this Deaf History-themed design earlier today. In case if y'all are curious, this is a reference to a 1988 protest at Gallaudet University. I learned about it when I started taking my first sign language class almost two years ago. 
I decided to make this for two reasons. First, to remember the anniversary of Deaf President Now. Second, I’ve noticed some people wearing shirts that have presidential election dates on them, and I wanted to do something similar to that with an event that not a lot of people are familiar with.
