...more rambling
So Hobby Lobby was open today. I got my knitting machine... it's a bit of a bust. I read all the directions but I'm apparently missing something. Gotta get in touch with Crystal about what she was doing to make the doll hats with hers.... [info]nereusthebeaded if you could like poke her for info for me it'd be appreciated.
I knitted another doll scarf today... I guess that's one step in the right direction. I wanna start getting some doll clothing together but I just don't have the room here and I keep looking through some things that I'd kinda like to make doll size and stuff, and getting a tad intimidated by the human patterns I wanted to use as reference... I'm thinking maybe my forte is in the accessories dept. I'm gonna dig through some stuff and find my elastic and excess of beads and need to disappear and makes some little bracelet to sell for like .10 or something at the con. Maybe I could get inspired by looking around at some more accessories companies are offering.

I also picked up a learn to crochet book/kit thing so maybe [info]resiniverous and I can maybe learn a few basics before the crochet/knit night next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. Looking at the book I think I follow some of the basics, I just need to get help from someone to teach me more about doing small round things. doll hats, tiny stuffed animals, and junk like that. But we're hopefully gonna spend some husband & wife time together sometime in the next week seeing what we can learn from the book.

I'm really itching to do a faceup right now, but I don't wanna mess with cleaning anyone's head off at the moment. I really need to get a practice head to try out some new techniques on. [info]nereusthebeaded is there a way you can just get a bobobie head? I figure since I'm just looking for something to practice some stuff on cheap is a good direction, but I just don't want a whole doll, just a head. Also while I'm throwing a bobobie question out, any clue if Elena comes with a magnetic headcap yet?

Chrystal has been poked. She says if you want to bring it over someday she will work with you and show you what/how she used it to make the dolly hats.

Yes I can get you a Bobobie head. I need to find out if you are available to help me with a show in Austin area this year. Chrystal can't I already know because she will be doing Boy Scout-y things with Nathaniel. If you are available to help then maybe I will throw in the Bobobie head as part of the compensation for helping. (The Elena head doesn't come with the magnetic headcap yet). If you want to get an Elena head, we can see about modding it with magnets. Because of the jewelry background I do have a source for earth magnets.

that works. don't know when i'd be able to get there till maybe after the el guapos meet at the end of the month.

yay for bobobie head! Actually it wouldn't be a bad deal if i could get an elena head for the work head i'm wanting. i could see if it's really what I truely want for the one character, and we could work to see if the magnetic head cap mod would work, and if so i'd think more about getting a whole one since I'd need the speical order with boy body and all.
Also I would be more than willing to help out with an austin show, just lemme know more info. either pm me here or on doa or shoot me an email shinigami.urahara[at]gmail.com
