| old brass keys |
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (to my zero readers)
I'm in the process of selling a family property, and with it, I plan on buying a bigger flat, with an extra room, to become my long longed for studio. The property has two houses and a well, and these were the brass keys for some of the doors. Those locks don't work any longer, so I decided to keep the keys as a remembrance, but also to use as a prop for my doctorate's Artistic Project, which I wrote in early December. Why? The project is "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", and I'll be wearing this Hokuto costume, while hosting the tea party. I will invite cosplayers and ask them to wear Alice in Wonderland and Tokyo Babylon and CLAMP related costumes. The range shall be the widest possible, one can attend wearing a The Matrix costume, or a bunny costume of some kind (I have a feeling there will be a lot of bunnies attending). The keys will have attached labels, with references to both stories, and will be a scene prop.
In December I also went back to 3D modelling my teacup and saucer. Found several Onshape tutorials in YouTube, and now I'm finding it easier to handle. I still feel very clumsy with it, but it's working much better now. I also searched for 3D teacup and saucer files online, and I plan to have a few of them printed, also as a scene prop for the Artistic Project. I plan on painting them with stencils and such, for a quick but diverse finish.
Meanwhile, I took a small sewing break over the holidays, but now I'm back to business, which means, sewing bias tape. I already finished the left side, and I'm now sewing the right side's bottom. All there's left is the back bias tape.
+ I got my first scenic prop, and with history behind it. I think I'll label one of the keys Vale Luzelos, the name of the property.
- the bias tape sewing is taking a long time, and I'm not much in the mood for any sewing... I guess I'm too excited looking for my ideal flat.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Sew the remaining bias tape and maybe go back to the gloves, or sleeves. Whichever I'm in the mood for, when the day comes.
