I'm sorry I still haven't gotten back up to speed on posting entries - I'm so used to having my own computer that I find it really difficult to use someone else's, even if it is my husband's. And then there's the matter of how I'd like to post some pictures, but I don't want to install any of my graphics programmes on his machine. As soon as I get my own, and maybe before, if I can really face trying to use default Microsoft imaging software, there will be some nice pictures of the kitten and possibly some pictures of some new kimono items I'm getting in. I just can't stay away from them. I got lucky enough to snag a really beautiful new obi and now, of course, I need to find a kimono to go with it. I did find one that I think will be a great match, but the kimono has some minor stains on it. Finding a dry cleaners in the area who can deal with vintage silk will be something for me to do though...

Hrm... what else to mention? Well, I got in more Fruits Basket production sketches. I got in another really great portrait of Shigure and a set of Kyo sketches. The set of Kyo is practically a complete example of the animation sketching process, ranging from really rough layouts to finished sketches. It's really neat - but showing any of these off requires a scanner.

I'm also trying to decide what to do with my time. I've been wanting to write a novel and this morning I got started on the first chapter. But then I also find myself having an interest in learning how to make clothes. In my last semester of college, I concentrated on anime-style character design - the result is that I have hundreds of ideas for clothing. Most of which should actually be possible to create. And I have to admit, I'd like to be able to make my own kimonos and other Japanese clothing too. You can get some truly amazing rolls of kimono silk cheaply.

Well - got to go. I have a purring kitten in my lap now.
