Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively.

when I was in animerica
Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

Man, making these strap things for the front of Hild is freaking TEDIOUS! Ugh! I finished painting all the round things, got the foam pieces cut out for the ankle/wrist pieces, finished the (2nd) headpiece. I remade part of my Lina wristbands and fixed the necklace.

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…
