Have mentioned the jewellery on my Livejournal too...always pleased to give a mention to a fellow jewellery-maker, and astarise's stuff is very striking and original :-)

I've promised myself to only buy a package a month online, so it'll have to wait a few days, but bookdepository.co.uk seems awesome. Thanks for mentioning them :D

They'll be a source of lots of presents this year :) Free shipping! And low prices, too.

Aiiie, I'm being mentioned! *blush*

Thank you so much! I'm not a hugs person irl but I can hug you over the Internets *does so* ^-^

And~~~ actually you have inspired me with this entry. Phantom mask! I could totally take that 'full' mask and cut some bits of it off. Then it would be 9485698 times cooler than a normal mask *_* I'm so getting to work on that tomorrow! Thanks again~

Oh, how cool, I didn't know that.

Being a Phantom noob, I just copied what I remembered from the film? More or less:

I'll start working on that on Monday because the mold I wanted to use for it is busy^^;; And you can totally reject it - if you don't like it I'll just put it in my shop, no problem.

Your rose is drying, btw~! It looks good.
