Bored at Work...

I am thinking of being White Mage for Halloween. I have a nifty idea for a costume piece that I might be able to use day-to-day -- basically getting a white hooded sweatshirt (preferably one that buttons or zips, as opposed to the pullover kind) and a bunch of white fleece material. I sew the sleeves on, make the bottom of the robe out of fleece, and attach the skirt of the robe to the underside-bottom of the sweatshirt via snaps. I think I could get away with a hooded sweatshirt with looser sleeves (well, looser sleeves with cuffs underneath -- warmer that way) and a white and red design (school colors -- yay!) on Fall days and I can attach the skirt for costuming. It also would be fun to make a Hogwarts robe like this. One of the things I like least about costuming, is that I can't wear what I make more than a few times a year.

Speaking of crafts, I think I've decided to take up crochet again, once I have free time (read: late December). I know several friends that have hinted that they want Harry Potter scarves, and I have a few ideas for anime-themed ones. I might have to make some for future cons. Cheap, unique items seem to sell well in the Artists' Alley, especially ones that can be commissioned.

I have finished my box o' manga and books. For the record, the box had the last two Vision of Escaflowne graphic novels, manga version of Slayers Return, the next volume of Slayers (City of Lost Souls, which covers the meeting of Amelia and the first visit to Sairaag), and the first Slayers novel.
