Saku in Progress

Main Kimono Construction:
(Day 1) - Finally cut out the silk. Not really enough for the full laps in the front, so cut it at the same size as the turquoise. Still considering lining options.
(Day 2) - Assembled parts of Kimono body and tested paints on what will probably become the collar guard. Pretty happy with colors and design. Disappearing Marking pen combined with stencils makes Maya a happy kitten.
(Day 3) - Sewed on sleeves and then sponged on large patches of tan last night... a bit stiff but they'll do. For future reference, decorating should be done /before/ seaming things together, or else more care should be taken to avoid/conceal the marks of the seams.
(Day 4) - discovered that marking pen fades /very/ fast when drawing on paint rather than fabric itself. This is a problem. Also, pencil shows through the paint a little.
(Day 4) - have now killed two brushes and found one I really like. Hopefully I won't kill that one.

Progress update: 3/14 designs done. Day off tomorrow, should mean lots and lots of progress. Yes!

Music Lovers
The performances were good. But the best thing? Sho's fake Jeans. Seriously! best idea EVER. ^___^ Dork.

I could go on about Maoh 7 and how much I just wanted to give Naruse a big hug and pet him... but that would be silly. Anyone with feelings about this episode, please comment, I need me some Maoh fangirling.

Costume Progress for today
-four more designs done. Finishing off the back of the kimono. We learned that Maya should /not/ try to reformat the flower part of the design. (pictures of failure to come later)
-also took lots of progress pics and hopefully didn't mess up my wrist too bad. It was really hurting earlier.

We moved Hokuto today too (they're repaving the parking lot, so we had too), and got the stereo out. She's on the street now, so hopefully I'll call the junk yard people early next week. I'll miss her sometimes. :3

Also! Jess finished Avatar tonight! The ending is just as awesome the second time around.

I failed to do laundry tonight though.... which means I have no clothes to wear to work tomorrow... crap.
