D*C Stuff
Oops, been a few days. Taking pics as I go along, but then I forget to mail them to myself so I can upload in town (LJ still a pain at home most times). And I usually edit them first anyway (crop to focus on item), so there's that (time!).
Been busy.
Inro box a fail - didn't get the fit right and no time to fix it. It would be easier to start over, in fact. Will try again some other time, because it would be a shame for that bat netsuke to not have an inro to go with it.
Finished Ozma hat. Would have like to add an "Oz" emblem, but don't think I have time for that either. It's pretty, wearable, and has her signature poppies on it. Funnily enough, I thought over-painting the flower petals was going to fail and the inro succeed and it went the other way. Just goes to show...
Lots of progress made on Shiny hat, but still not done. Need to finish that today - not a good travel project.
Made maple cream-filled chocolates and pistachio bark.
Finished filing and assembling the extension piece for the naginata and painted it black.
Probably made some other stuff that I can't remember...
Things to try to make today:
- One more thing to go on Shiny's bodysuit
- Need to finish inside of Ozma's jacket at waist and then iron
- Do coat of acrylic on naginata extension piece, cut out and glue blade. Find some ribbon-type thing to wrap around joint between extension piece and window scraper handle (for looks, really)
- Finish Shiny hat
- Make Demon Pony fascinator, or at least get all the parts together for it.
- Make more chocolate stuff
- Cook tomatoes from garden so it's sauce in the fridge and I don't have to worry about them going bad while we're away
- Spats for Ozma
- Move some plants into the unfinished raised bed because it's better than being in little pots
On the road projects:
- Beading trim on demon pony over skirt
- last bit of trim on Ozma sleeves, to dress up the twill tape
- Inserting some black fabric inside the back opening for Batgirl's gauntlets
- Possibly the DP fascinator (see above list)
- ?

Going to try my purple/teal wig with the Shiny hat. I was going to go with one of the white ones, but I did some design stuff on the back of the outfit, all of which will be hidden because those are really long. We'll see. If it looks okay, then I have one wig for two outfits and can save a little space in the car.

In "real" life, L has been doing yard stuff all over the place, and patched the trailer. I'll be back to helping out with that next week. Right arm needs rest from heavy work still.
