crankyoldmanAlright, getting back into the swing of things. This week is going to be full of meetings with work (one of which I may be attending in a conference call while driving to Ohio, well that's what I get for letting them buy me a fancy phone I guess), so I'd better get this out of the way before those all start up!
- Nerdy character aprons! I sort of want to try making some of these myself now for characters that I like! Not that these characters aren't fabulous, of course.
- Mormon housewife blogs... the wave of the future? I've reached new levels of meta, reading a blog post about blogs.
- Clothes for boobs! As in, the larger endowed.
- How to live an extravagantly exuberant life.
- Zero gravity space kittehs.
- Biotic games
- A style strategy for 2011
- Do gamers have the most vivid dreams?
- The luxirare collection. Anytime I see people talk about making a "uniform" of clothes to wear, I cringe. Luxirare's take on dressing simply is quite artyful.
- Hong Kong fashion week. These are the kinds of fashion shows I like to see stuff from. Everything is just beautiful.
- South African musicians, and file sharing. Since everyone's talking about ebooks and the like right now.
- Paint It Black: Johnny Cash Tribute album. Speaking of downloads.
- Engineer designs his own heart implant.
- Fashion while eating. Two things I like!
So, this is the progress shot of my incomplete (it's complete now, though) Sorceress Selphie from Final Fantasy VIII costume (variation on her battle outfit). Basically, I thought it would be fun to do a sorceress version of that character, since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drakonlily has a sorceress Rinoa costume, and seventhe has a Quistis one from our steampunk group. It is MUCH brighter in person or in actual lighting (that's early morning in the winter from a small basement window that makes everything so pale in that picture).
The overskirt was the Fun and New Thing I Haven't Sewn Before, and it was pretty easy. The hardest thing about it was, well, the glitter. That fabric sheds glitter like crazy, and I had to take a swiffer to my sewing machine afterwards. My floor still is covered in the stuff. But I think it adds to what is a pretty simple costume otherwise. There are a couple more things involved with it, but that's the main part, and I'm really proud of how it came out, so. And the pattern I used will be useful for future things!
Oh and I made a Veld and Elfe FST for those of you that like that sort of thing.
