Massive WIWO update:
Thing that are pretty much 100% done:
(pics coming soon?)
Pink hair falls for Burning Man. Used special yarn, shredded plastic cording, ribbons of at least 3 types, one fake rose on each, 1 awesome fabric rose and feather and glitter pin atop each, all set on huge "grippy" clips that should survive playa wind. Total cost: Almost $40. Total Time: about 8 hours.
Duct Tape Bustier. Used my dressmaker dummy for this one. 2 layers of black uber-sticky duct tape and 1 layer of industrial saran wrap in between. Multi-colored grommets on the back. Laced with 14 individual white shoelaces. Total cost: $12. Total time: About 3 hours.
4 pop-tab bracelets. Made using pattern retaught to me by Merryl after having seen it in Budget Living magazine. (LOVE!) For giving away at Burning Man. Total time: 30 minutes each. Total cost: none.
Things that are half done:
Pop-tab purse. Making using altered version of the bracelet method. Using the same rot-proof plastic cording stuff that went into hair falls. Will be a modified lunchbox shape with shoulder strap. Total time: over 3 days at this point and nearly half done. Total cost: $1.
Boas for Rocky. 1 is completely done and awesome. The other 3 have been on hold pending my ability to find the wide black cotton piping used for the cores. Now that I've obtained enough of that I'll be able to finish them. Total time: 2 hours each Total cost: Over $50.
Not even started:
Coffee filter Bolo Jacket
Coffee filter frilly "Gel" skirt.
Duct tape (pleated?) skirt.
Total anticipated time: 3 days total. Anticipated cost: none.
