 20091031 Grouper / Wombat Kitsuke 09, originally uploaded by SnowFoxCreations. SuperWombatchan is on the left, wearing my Taisho era irotomesode + and antique red nagajuban and a Lady Murasaki motif tsuke obi. I’m the one on the right, wearing a blue-green ofurisode with botan (peony flower) motif and a Taisho era Roman maru obi. (LOL at our different skin tones- we have the same parents and get the same amount of sunlight, but I inherited all of the Native American traits, while SuperWombatchan could pass as a British person. Genetics are fabulous.) I tried using padding on myself so that the lines would be more even, but it still didn’t make the kimono folds even and DID make me bloat out so that the obi didn’t fit right, so I think from now on I’ll just skip the padding (it’s not that comfortable, anyway.) I had lots of problems with obi- mine wouldn’t fold right (it has NO center obi shin, believe it or not- are all antique maru obi like that?) and SuperWombatchan wore a tsuke obi, but I had never tied that particular tsuke obi before, and she was squirming, so I think I tied it too low for someone as young as her- and that really bothered my OCD, so I kept trying to adjust it. :/ She was going to wear her ofurisode, but decided to pick something out of my collection instead. In the end, Halloween was just another excuse to wear kimono. ^^; (Featured by SnowFoxCreations)
No, I haven’t forgotten about my weird humor Akatsuki fan art from Naruto- I still do them from time to time. Itachi is watching you. And he looks way too happy. RUN. It’s almost Christmas, and that means- SNOWFLAKE FABRICS! WalMart has a ton of them, and I hope to load up on even more before they sell out. #_# I’ve found lots of other great fabrics at various nation-wide chains, and I’m posting photos of the best + where I found them, since the stores in your area probably have the same items (more or less.)
Gotta love the trend of using ancient kimono patterns on Western-sold print fabric. Only steal from the very finest. All the same, I do buy things like this- if it’s over 1,000 years old, the pattern is definitely public domain, and importing actual kimono fabric costs a fortune in shipping (believe me, I know…) The softness and washability of cotton also ROCKS. No worries about washing nagajuban made from these… Hobby Lobby had way more fabrics than the one featured, but I only took photos of the one I bought. All of these were taken with my cellphone, which explains the not-so-hot quality, but you can still tell what they look like… The black flower fabric and plum blossom fabric at WalMart are less than $2.00 USD per yard, which is great. X3  20090711 Historic Rock Castle 01, originally uploaded by SnowFoxCreations. Despite the name, it was more like a historic rock house. Notwithstanding, it was still a fascinating piece of centuries-old architecture, and although we came on a day when it was closed, the external view was still worth the short detour.
