I started wearing hoods up when I played through Assassin's Creed. Too bad most of the hoods on my hoodies are barely covering my head when I need something deeper :| 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get around to making mistcloak, I will make sure the hood is appropriately deep.

A Budgie Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 @Oversleep good luck with your Mistcloak then...I hadn't done much 'proper' sewing (I was mostly doing tapestry at the time) when I decided to make one, but luckily I got help when it was needed... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 16 hours ago, A Budgie said: Oh...I just cut them using plinking shears. It was painful, but I used a rather light and thin fabric, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. And as for the edges of the strips, we got them so one end was didn't need to be hemmed, and the other was the end was sewed unto the costume. Oof. Yeah, I cut my strips using a yardstick, a second ruler (cause they needed to be more than 3 feet long), and a rotary cutter. Gave me one smooth cut the entire line down, no notches or bobbles where a pair of scissors would have to be moved. Finished the sewing last night. Tonight shall be ironing and starching. 5 hours ago, A Budgie said: Yeah...I could understand taking the easier route if you don't have the time to sew on 50-100+ strips... It's not the sewing part that's annoying so much as the pinning. So much pinning. Every. Single. Strip. Must. Be. Pinned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistrunner Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Standardized testing is almost over, band and choir both performed respectably at State, and the extraordinarily stressful yet productive last couple of weeks are hopefully giving way to more calm ones ahead. Also, it rained so hard today that they sent a bus down to pick up people from the fine arts building and take us back to the main building, which I felt was a bit extravagant but kind of awesome at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone originally from the northwest, I thought it was hilarious.

Sunbird Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Found a bunch more cool birbs on Saturday! (Yes, I misspelled that intentionally.) I took 275 photos and kept more than 50 of them, but it's late, so here are just a few of the very best pictures from my trip. Black-necked Stilt (aptly named; you'll see why): Spoiler Clark's Grebe (the larger bird on the right): Spoiler Swainson's Hawk (It was screaming at me in this picture): Spoiler Western Meadowlark: Spoiler I had never seen a Swainson's Hawk or a Clark's Grebe until today, so I'm thrilled that I got identifiable photos of them both. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Budgie Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 @Sunbird those are very good birbs! Strangely enough, over here we have the bird that's on the right in the grebe picture: moorhens, I think they are? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 @A Budgie Close! Moorhens are closely related to the little guy in my grebe photo. Mine is called an American Coot, and the only visible difference between the two when you see them swimming like that is their bill colors: on a moorhen, it's red, but on a coot, it's white. Well okay, on the moorhens I've seen in the US, the bill is red. Other countries and continents may have other kinds of moorhens with other colors of bills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen both red and white beaked birds before, although the white seems to be more common. That's cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
