bloodyrosemccoyHoof, it’s a dark and stormy night out there, yo. Or at least windy and dusty.
Anyway, I have made a breakthrough in dragonlike tendencies! I have recycled some shirts I don’t wear anymore and made doll clothes with them, rather than just keeping them around so I can feel guilty when I don’t wear them!
And I gotta say, using hemlines they already made is really nice.
So! New stuff:
María gets a new shirt! I need to make her a pair of black capris to go with them. I hate capris myself, but Maria would look kinda cute, actually.
She needs a necklace, but the only one I’ve got right now is red, and it just wouldn’t look right. I shall see what I can make …
This shirt shrank in the wash, so it’s become Daja’s birthday tunic! I’m still a little unsure about the color; it’s a little faded. But I kind of like that there’s a stitched pattern on there.
Also, it’s not recycled, but notice the belt!
This is one of my first chainmail attempts—a Persian star weave with copper rings. I may also use it as an anklet when Daja’s not wearing it, but I figured she should have some metal accessories, after all. It’s a bit big for doll scale, but I honestly rather like the idea of a big old belt.
Also, this really represents a chain and a half worth of weaving, since about three-fifths of the way through I somehow managed to reverse the pattern and made it look pretty stupid—and it was kind of impossible at that point to do anything but take it apart and start again from where I’d flipped it. But it was awesome fun. I gotta get me more jump rings.
