kiyakotariSince I've been all but bedridden for the past few days, and I hate being idle, I've taken the opportunity to do a bit of Zsuzsa's jewelry.
Honestly, I have no idea what the headdress thing is. I was thinking something vaguely along the lines of a pillbox hat, or at the least the veil thing that tends to go on them. I don't know. Something pseudo-Victorian, without really deviating from the style of garb that I want the snake species to wear. I might take it apart and do something different with the beads, but it was at least a semi-productive way to spend five or so hours. And it's shiny.
Her corset is, of course, by the amazingly talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nezumitoo. Everything else - faceup, necklace, belt, headdress, wig-styling, bracelets - done by me. Eyes from Van Dyke's Taxidermy Supply.
Oh, and the lovely maintenance guy came and got my water heater to stop leaking. He said to keep an eye on it, and if it does it again, they'll just replace the whole thing. Also, he seemed very grateful for the candy and Girl Scout cookies I insisted he take. (I was raised on the assumption that if you give treats to the people doing work for you, they're happier and do a better job, and are more willing to come back and work for you again in the future. I try to apply this philosophy to most things I do.)
