This is the first (of hopefully many) serged costume I made and I didn’t use a regular sewing machine at all, though I did hand sew the rosette in the middle of the shirt onto the rest of it. The costume is designed to be worn in layers over a black shirt and pair of [...]

I just gave my 30 day notice for my home and one of the Temple of Poi studios. I’m more or less letting go of my home studio (and my home) and going homeless for some period of time as of April 15 though I have places to sleep, sort of, so that’s only sort [...]

Because I want all these cool photos to rotate in the cool iris widget on the right, I am creating a series of entries that are index to the original article which contain the photos from the Chronicles of GlitterGirl from 2006. It’s inspiring enough to want to make me do another series of the [...]
