Experiments on Dyeing
So last year – probably nearly or even more than a year ago – I got this skirt and I wanted to dye it blue. I don’t even remember what it was for. I may have just been messing around. Who knows. Well, I tried it in the sink, but the fabric didn’t take to the dye very well. So…

Hild progress pics
OK OK I give up. I just can’t keep a secret. My costume I’m doing for Akon is Hild from Ah My Goddess. At first I was just keeping it secret because I wasn’t sure I was going to get to do it. Then I thought I’d try to keep it secret just to see if I could. Well I…
