Ever hear of finger piercings? Me neither, but I think that is where I am heading with these silly diamonds. After TWO WHOLE days of hand sewing, I finally got on 8 diamonds. ok ok, it was really like 3 total hours, but whatevs, right. My poor little fingers are hole poked. The shirt is pretty much finished, I just need to cut up the sleeves and the bottom to make it more joker-esque. Then I have to work on the bottoms. A friend of mine suggested making spats to cover my shoes. I looked it up online, it looks complicated, but doable. I also got my makeup and face paint so that I can doll up Ryan and I for the big day.
Did I mention Ryan was going to be Two-face? I don't recall. Any good ideas on a quickish and easyesque way to do Two-face make-up? What the hell, am I Stephen King now, all making up words and shit? Who cared, its 3:30 am, lol. I will make up all the words I want!!
Seriously, any help with Two-face ideas would be good. I'm even less experienced with make-up than I am with sewing, so that is saying something. Here is the 97% finished version of the shirt. In hindsight I should have chosen smaller shirts, or sewed them together tighter...whatever, first time sewing, remember?
In other news, I bought a bigger fish tank for the boys room. They now have a 10 gallon circulating water upstairs. I really hope they think fish are as cool as I do. Who knew they could be such interesting pets?? I am certain I had more to say, but my brain is ka-put due to another super late night. Why do I stay up so late? Oh well, at least I finished all my homework and my shirt and just have to finish writing my research paper now. And even that is about 1/4 done.
We would have a lot of fun at 3:30 in the morning!
ReplyDeleteGREAT job on the shirt!!
Let me investigate the spat thing a little and I will get back to you!
