きのこのスカートです。
sounds like: "miss yesterday" YUKI
I made a skirt! Well-- altered one. A few months ago I got this brown linen mini skirt at Old Navy on clearance for $2.00. I liked the skirt, but it was too short. I got it anyway with the idea I could find a way to lengthen it.
Last summer I got these wicked vintage mushroom print curtains from a free pile. Most of the curtains are hanging in my living room, but there were a remaining few oddball ruffly one. I took an extra long ruffle and sewed it to the bottom of the skirt. After I added double sided bias tape to the hem of the curtain (the basting stitch was falling off). The tape adds a nice stiffness to the frill and over all I really love it. It's a nice, light skirt!

the workplace: animation stand
sounds like: "de camino a la vereda" buena vista social club
I made an impromptu animation stand tonight. It was quite easy: I put my digital video camera on my tripod, took a light fixture clip and clipped it to the shelf next to my desk and laid the cam and tripod across it, tying it to the light clip for extra support. I added a light source in addition to my desk lantern, but there needs to be another one and they both need to have brighter bulbs. The camera is connected to my computer and I capture the images with a cool free Mac based capture program called Frame Thief.
I animated and shot this cute anime girl blinking. Since the light source is crappy I ran her through a batch action in Photoshop CS2 and upped the contrast to make the lighting orangy and weird. Not the best, but whatever. Now that I have the set up I can whip out nicer things.

hoard of nerdery
sounds like: "all neon like" bjork.
All of a sudden I am findings amazing deals on really cool things. Above I am holding the amazing Black Label Collector Edition Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" Barbie that I scored at Big Lots today for $15.00 (She's going for $35.00 on Ebay and $40.00 on the Barbie collector's site)
In addition to the wicked Tippi Barbie, I scored a ceramic dish of Kermit and Miss Piggy in a boat at the Salvation Army, Hidamari Gloomy Bear on Garage Sale Japan (LJ) for 1/3 of the price and a sweet Legend of Zelda t-shirt from evil Wal-Mart.
HOORAY FOR NERD JUNK!
