Edit: this has gotten a huge amount of traction (fibrearts tumblr is a, uh, tight-knit community it seems!) so I am adding this note to state that I checked Lola Cody's website and can confirm: There is no dye in her work. She uses exclusively hand-spun Churro wool sheared from her home-raised sheep flock. It's all natural colours!

Seeing a lot of folks looking to buy Diné rugs too, in which case I always love to plug "Adopt A Native Elder". If you want to tangibly support some of our communities elders they host an annual rug sale, run a gift shop, & also offer vouchers to supply them with fire wood/food/and yarn.

For those of you getting ready for con season (ahem, Kamicon), here’s an easy way to remove old makeup stains! Mix a bit of blue dish soap and peroxide together and scrub the stained area with it.

The glove here was the first one I made but I'm not using it. Yes it looks funky on a pool noodle but the fit is pretty decent on me. the issue is wet look vinyl made it look cheap I think. The combination of trim and bicolor stones did not help. So I'm remaking it a little differently. Still working up the nerve to style the wig but I'll get there ^^;

I've been using itty bitty, stupidly small stones to decorate the inset lace pattern she has on her suit stripes, and it's literally taken me years. I try not to work on it when it starts to feel like a chore since that association sticks with the costume long term. But I am back with new twin needles and looking forward to finishing her glove, hopefully that will help me finish the last leg of stoning and then motivate me to tackle the wig

This is from a few months ago but her new claws came out just how I'd hoped! The final color is a chameleon multichrome nail polish over a maroon base so you get these deep red shadows, to brassy golds with a fun sort of beetle green flip on the edges. It's the same polish I used on her belt ring so things stay cohesive.
