[Public] dear cosmos:
Please pay your heating bill.
It’s frackin’ cold.
I really should be working on my projects, but I’m far too cold to do so. (projects including a Christmas present and finishing locking down stitches on my Byzantine.) For those of you playing at home, the Byzantine has the following things done with it:
✔ Collar beaded
✔ Trim affixed to not only the tunica, but also the dalmatic (my mother is awesome.)
✔ Roundels on front embroidered
What still needs to happen is the following:
✘ All embroidery stitches locked down
✘ Back of gown marked (little x on the back - I’m sick of forgetting where front is)
✘ Find something to work for headgear - veils and I don’t get along, but a sprang or crocheted hairnet/snood might work well
With any luck, I’ll have all of this done by Winter War Maneuvers. Also, hopefully done before Maneuvers is digging out my bards staff (which never makes it to events, strangely enough) so that I might be able to serve guard at Dolan’s vigil if necessary. (Hey, I can look menacing. Sort of.)
Anyway, I’m going to hopefully warm up with a nice layer of blankets in the recliner, and proceed to make waffenrock brushes for Photoshop.
If there’s enough interest, I may just even offer it as a brush pack for download. (Is that a yes or no, y’all? Lemme know.)

It's a Huh? What, exactly, in plain simple terms that a layman could understand, is a "waffenrock brush"?

A waffenrock is a German garment - the Swiss guard wear a modified one, for reference.
