The Half Blood Prince's Potions Book

Okay, so I promised earlier, and now my hair is dyed blue black, and I'm happy enough with the fail!pics to put a couple up for you to see. Since it's just been dyed, I've decided not to use fixer in it, so it's only pinned back, and it is FLUFFY from having just been washed and blow dried. Haha. Ishida does not have these problems. If anything, it is still a bit long -- but it is still my hair, and I have to go out wearing it, in a non-cosplaying context.

( Oh noes! There is a Mayuri on my ceiling! )

Today I am pretty much exhausted. I got a delivery of beautiful purple hair in the post yesterday for my Mirai Trunks (Dragonball Z) outfit, but it's so lovely I suspect I'll be wearing it just for laughs sometimes. I love wigs - by next October I should have eight, in many rainbow colours. :D The Dragonball Evolution movie looks to be awful, so we're organising a DB/Z/GT group for MCM Expo as a kind of rebellion against wanton destruction of retro favourites. Purple wig is purple.

I am still working hard, which sucks, but I've been drawing and writing in between the work, which doesn't. I'm on a break from costume making, though, in order to divert attention from my doing it all the time, so that I can go out and buy 50 euros worth of black and white fabric soon to make Renji, Hitsugaya, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra for October. As you can probably tell, there's huge amounts of work to do there, so it will all come in time.

Right now my Ishida has progressed. If you absolutely must see it, it's under the cut. I am remaking the hakama (the skirt/trousers underneath) since they came out just horrible.

And I will probably post the first part of my first Bleach fic tonight. I'm going to run a fine toothcomb over it and insinuate a little more, and play with the imagery since I think I've been a little lazy with the prose. Evil scientists ftw.
