    Misato, Lulu updates

    I said it on my livejournal the other day, but I got the faux fur coat to use for the top of Lulu. Along with fabric samples for Misato. I think I’ll use the fabric, but I’m going to look around and see if I can find something like it around here that’s a little cheaper first. Animazement hotel booked…

    Art Post: Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

    This was originally valentine’s day card, but after I finished I went back and redid the smoke and made it just a regular old Gandalf picture. In case you can’t tell, he is my favourite Lord of the Rings character. He’s kinda creepy here, I don’t think I worked on the eyes enough. Like the Ron/Hermione pic, I went from…

    when i worked on the hp valentines

    I got an email verification letter from bravenet today, at my email for the sundowner subs. oO; I don’t *think* I signed up for bravenet with that email… no, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. Oh well. Whatever. No oekaki today for me… I have to finish my valentine… I finally finished the linework last night, got to colour it this…

    If you’re happy and you know it, do all three

    So, happy year of the Horse, happy Mardi Gras, happy Lincoln’s birthday, and happy birthday to Catherine tomorrow, before I forget. She’s gonna be twenty, haha, she’s old now. I got my fabric samples for Misato (we’re gonna use it, it’s gonna be expensive tho… I may go look around this weekend and see if I can find something like…

    when i rolled in zee hay

    I found $25 in my pants pocket. YAY! Sparklist called me *again* today. Seriously? It’s spam and it’s on my answering machine. Just leave me alone! I don’t care about your service, I don’t want to use it, I don’t use the one I’ve already got, and it’s *free.* And could you butcher my name anymore? Good grief. I turned…

    Lulu progress & etc

    I said it @ my cosplay journal yesterday, but I got my Lulu fabric. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but I think it will work all right. It’s a sort of suede material… it’s heavy enough that it won’t wrinkle around and stuff, but light enough that I won’t suffocate. I think I’ve figured out how to do the…

    when i was offered a play role

    I’m conflicted as to whether or not to post my other HP valentine. I mean, everyone will see it when the Valentine page goes up… LOL I might have a part in this play mom is doing… I’d actually more lines than her if I take the part. They’re having a lot of people drop out, mom said, and she…

    Got my pattern for Lulu skirt today (along with a bunch of other patterns!! It was a lot I bought on ebay, I bought it just for the one pattern for the lulu skirt… so now I have lots of other patterns. One I can use for my Ocha underdress). Now I have everything I need but the fabric. I’m…

    when i was adjusting to the tablet

    Tablet stuff. One thing about it that I don’t like (but it’s probably good for me) is the fact that I can’t tilt the tablet. When I draw or write certain things, I always want to turn the sketchbook sideways. I do this with faces a lot. My art teacher in high school used to try to get me to…

    when we got a snow day

    SNOW DAY!!! SNOW DAY!!!! SNOW— Oh wait no. I hope this doesn’t make Ash have to go to school one day longer at the end of the year. Her last day of school is May 23. Animazement is May 24. Oh no, don’t let that happen…

    Lots of patterns!

    Hohohohohoho, I won a whole lot of older, unused patterns on ebay for super cheap. I’m all excited! I can’t wait to see them up close and see what all kinds of neat stuff I got. I bid on that whole thing just for one particular pattern (for my Lulu skirt), the others are just icing on the cake! *joy*…

    when i had to climb the gate

    Oh my god. It never fails. I mentioned it on my livejournal, so I had to go look at it again. Piper’s “Valentins Day” page… good god. Happy Valentine’s Day, early. (The story is she couldn’t figure out how to spell “splendoured”….) You know, I never did write about why last Sunday was so cruddy. Actually, now, it’s more funny…
