shanmonster | Attack of the Cubist Belly Dancer

I thought I'd be gaming tonight, but I guess I was presumptuous. So instead, I did a bunch of hand-sewing while halfheartedly watching Hercules. Steve Reeves is still the man, but attention-wise, he just can't compete with me accidentally pricking my fingers. I gotta keep my eyes on my sewing, and not on the big demigod muscles.

Except for the straps (I'm still in the air over what design to use--perhaps suspenders!), I'm finished the dance top I started yesterday. I was going to post the pictures, but it would seem my site's server is down. So instead, I'll put them on Tribe so you can take a gander: here and here.

I cropped out my face because I still look green and bilious from my bout with the gut flu.

Tomorrow I'd like to get started on a matching lace-up belt.

And the more I consider it, the more I believe suspenders may be just the kind of straps this top needs. I think it will match the geometric design. And then I'll be some sort of cubist belly dancer. Hello, interior hip squares. Here I come!
