I made a dress out of upholstery fabric and drapery trims, and somehow it turned out all right! More on that process here.

My dumb pet project over winter break: Lolitopoly! The only board game that combines aggressive investment strategies with dumb EGL in-jokes. What’s not to love?

Yesterday I got my wisdom teeth out, so today I decided to preserve them.
More details on this project on my blog, but if you’re grossed out by bloody teeth, please don’t look!

My Ophanim tights came in yesterday, and I’ve been fawning over them all morning! There’s a full review with more photos on my blog, but here’s a quick rundown:
+ The print (‘Dainty Cat’) is gorgeous and extremely detailed
+ These are probably the most comfortable tights I’ve ever worn
+ Caro was a pleasure to deal with and order from
- Some minor issues with blurriness and color fading
- Manufacturing took a bit longer than expected
I’ll definitely be ordering more Ophanim tights in the future, especially with all of the new designs being released! Thanks, Caro ♥

A while ago I saw a photo of someone’s awesome Jojo nails, and wanted to try making some of my own!
The top set features the main characters of each story arc in chronological order (with Dio thrown in as an afterthought because there was an empty space…), and the bottom set is entirely pictures of Jolyne, to go with a costume I have in the works…! I wish I’d been able to capture all of the glitter I slathered onto these things, but taking close-up photos with one hand is hard enough.

Finally remembered to get a shot of my Paula shirt. I had a hell of a time trying to find a good ref for the graphic on it, so I ended up designing one on my own based on what it looks like to me- a goat skull flanked by human skulls and corpse fly wings, symbolic of Garcia, Johnson, and death, which shows that I am a huge dork and put way too much thought into it. But I’m happy with how it turned out!
My friend and I have a fun Paula-themed photoshoot in the works, so hopefully I’ll be able to share that soon!

Made myself a book bag (and matching wallet) yesterday! It was a fairly simple project, and- best of all- no real books were harmed in the process. Can’t wait to start using these!
Full details here.

I wore this to the meetup on Monday.
I actually left the house looking like this.
