    Okay so my crazy shell-drilling idea worked! I didn't really want to buy a drill or anything, and a dremel seemed expensive, but I had the idea that I could use an electric nail-care thing that I got from my Nanna a few years ago. So I thought: "I never use it, so why not try it out for shells?" And it works!! It's a great starting tool for someone who doesn't want to spend too much on jewellery stuff here's what it looks like, if anyone else wants a useful cheap mermaid shell tool Name:  image.jpg

    I used to have one of those. They're pretty intense so I could see it working on shells

    Yay, Tahoe! You a should check out Angora Lake too. It's just a few minutes away and the water is clear and still. Good sunbathing rocks.

    weee! DH, ODS and I will be in Pittsburgh, PA for the first two weeks of 2016!
    The best part?! The hotel allows mers in their (shallow) pool!
    Take the wave now and know that you're free
    Turn your back on the land face the sea
    Face the wind now so wild and so strong
    When you think of me
    Wave to me and send me a song

    The Happy Thread!

    Someone very special in my heart made one of my dream come true!

    Thanks to him, I might have found a pool to swim! We are currently waiting for the email which will grant me the authorization to use my tail in the pool. Test swim this coming Saturday!!

    I'm thrilled and very excited!

    Wellp, I'm currently out of a job because my current place is shutting down at the end of this week; though since what I was hired to do originally is gonna be covered by my boss during the store's last week, I would have had nothing to do... So Saturday was my last day (and I only found that out near the end of my shift Friday night). It's a weird feeling, and a bit of anxiety, but overall I'm feeling... Pretty surprisingly great about it?

    Plus, for some reason, I've been bitten by the art bug for the first time in... Forever? And now I've taken on a huge project; "Project Eeveelution"!

    Basically, I'm designing humanoid outfits ("Gijinka" I think it's called?) based off of each of Eevee's Pokemon evolutions. I'm planning on doing up concepts for all nine Pokemon, and naturally, I've started off with my favorite; Vaporeon!

    It's just a WIP so far, but I'm loving how it's turning out so far and I can't wait to get started on the others!

    I don't think I'll ever be able to make them into real costumes (my sewing capabilities are... not great, plus a lot of the materials and fabrics I'd need would be expensive as hell to get here), but I'm treating each design as if I were anyway, because it's a lot of fun brainstorming all of the different materials, and the different tricks I could use to get certain effects... I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself so far.
