In December 2021, she embarked on a project to create a dress out of coins and although it took longer than expected, she finally completed the project in January 2022.

Describing the process, she wrote:

"I totally underestimated just how many pennies this skirt would take, and especially how long it would take to chainmail all of the pennies. But it’s finally done!!! and honestly, despite all the work it took, I really do think it was worth it. This dress came out so much cooler than I initially imagined it would - I love this dress so much, I am so proud that I was able to bring this weird idea to life."

What she used to achieve the design

According to her post, she used 13 spools of thread, 4 broken needles, 150+ hours of work and 2652 pennies ($26.52).
