Padme’s Lake Dress Hair – a Sort-of Tutorial
A friend on instagram asked how I did my Padme lake dress hair, and I thought it would be way easier to answer over here where I could type everything out and post pictures easier than trying to type on my phone on instagram. I’ve never done a full tutorial on how I did this hair, BUT I have drawn…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place.

costume projects!
So I’ve been a busy little bee lately. Because of the eyestrain/headache thing I’ve been having lately, I’ve been staying away from the computer in the evenings and working on projects and whatnot – wedding & sewing stuff, basically. Here’s what they are – sorry, no pics as of yet – I’ll try to get some up pretty soon. 1.…
