Sewing and gluing
Got further with the gauntlets last night, then worked on gluing rhinestones and teardrop beads (all flat-backed).
Aleene glue works well with the fabric, but I lost control of it so stopped work after putting on the top row. Today I worked on filling in gaps with pearls and clear glass beads and decided to sew the teardrop beads down as well. This bra is backless, sticks on with adhesive, so I'm trying to avoid sewing straight through to the inside except around the edges. It's actually looking decent so far, but I'm just as glad I'm not a big person...
Misplaced the bat netsuke -- need to find it before I bother with making an inro. Moved things so many times this summer, I lost track of some items. Hm, need to check the telephone table's drawers, might be there (the table is in the living room, where I do most of my work, so it actually makes sense that it might be in there).
Found my wire supply the other day, so I can finally finish attaching my bat comb to the wig.
Oh! And I got a wig head that I can bolt to a table and work on wigs!
