The picture scanned a bit warped because I did this with watercolor, and the paper rippled. Yay. Also: Ink (Sharpie pen) and acrylic paint (eyeball).

Namako Studios: And so it begins...
almost. NaNoWriMo, I mean. Tonight it begins.
Here is the half-assed plot synopsis I wrote, because I hate synopsises (synopsi?), because they seem to make everything trite and trivial, when naturally this book is the most important thing to ever be written in the history of all literature. I kid…

Namako Studios: Ace Dating, and "Brave"
Awright, I’m not totally down for a whole bunch of stuff about my private life on the interweb thing, but this is tumblr. And I so desperately want to fit in here.
Which is why I gave an interview, as a person of color, to the Swimmies of Doom tumblr, dissing all the (apparently mainly white)…

hello piroFriend!
after our interview with you and our roadie, Bob, we thought maybe we had said the wrong thing about your dating, and that it was not our business! we are glad you didn’t get upset with us, and that you think we are adorable!
for we are! we ARE!

So I’m constitutionally unable to not fuck around with T shirts. Plain T shirts are not something I generally enjoy. I have a few that I’ve managed to leave alone, but the bulk of them get some kind of gothy-bohemian upgrade in the form of reshaping, embroidery, or crochet. This is just a fact of my life.
A few months ago I went to JCPenneys, not something that happens very often, but my mom wanted to look at towels, so we went over there together, and I found a 3/4 sleeve grey T shirt for three bucks, so I bought it. And ever since then it has been sitting in my alteration pile, because, and here’s the other weird thing, while I am constitutionally unable to leave T shirts alone, I also don’t really enjoy clothing alterations. Oh, I love the RESULTS, mind, but I don’t like doing it.
Last night I decided I would crochet, in grey cotton thread, three panels to insert at the hem of the grey T. One on each side, and one at the back. I also plan to embellish at the neck or sleeves, haven’t decided, probably will be neck, but that will be more cosmetic change than alteration. Anyway, to add an insert panel you require a kind of A line shape, hence I had to learn how to crochet a TRIANGLE.
Which, as you can see from the pics, I successfully did. I added filet crochet to the bottom, and yes it is on the irregular side, but that was done on purpose, cuz that’s how I roll.
Now— can Piro successfully duplicate this for the other side? And will the back panel be different in addition to being longer? Stay tuned for ADVENTURES IN ALTERATIONS!

hello piroFriend! we like this crochet! it is not a fish, but it is very net like! yay!

“The Amorphous Clawed Beast” (Sharpie and Prismacolor pencil)
O cry me a river
cry me a stream
the amorphous clawed beast
doesn’t know what he means
but something is sad
something is weeping
both up on the land
and immersed here sleeping.
