Beading Serenity, Day 7
|
After an extremely frustrating session of fumbling, mistakes, and general brainlessness, I finally made some progress on my massive fannish project today. I might have the beadwork done in time to baste this sucker onto the back of my denim jacket to wear to the opening next Friday.
The gaps are where I need some partial rows to make up for irregularities in bead sizes. If it looks a little, um, oblongish, it is. *mutters imprecations at unreliable beadwork software*
I may have to do some fast faking with the remaining pattern to minimize the effect.
The Serenity Coat, however, is going to take me till the London convention (mid-November) to finish. It has morphed in concept from Mal to Inara--from brown leather to silk and velvet.
If you look closely, you can make out the beadwork hidden in there.
So. What do you think so far?

I'm really torn between making the coat to fit me, and making it for someone young and pretty.
Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

You are neither old nor tough to look at. In fact, I think you are lovely, inside and out. I'm smart about this kinda stuff, so you can trust me.

I'm thinking more of the prospect of having the coat photographed, however. Can't stand to see any sort of picture of any part of myself. But I'd like to see pictures of the coat at the con.
You see my dilemma.

But really, the main design will be on the back, yes? That may save you some anxiety. :-)

Nope, I'm thinking "pretty young woman" is my best solution.
