Another Reroot

I have the fabric picked out for this year's Halloween Patchwork Project, but I veered off into a productive procrastination project instead: rerooting a reproduction Francie head

This was originally Smashin' Satin, a reproduction of a no-bangs Francie in blond.  I used hair from a Monster High Rochelle, and I include reroots on this blog because I use an anchor thread reroot method, so it's kinda like sewing.

I've had this head and this hair picked out to go together for years, along with a stack of other dolls awaiting reroots.  Honestly, if I could convince myself to do only one reroot a month, that would still clear out that stack a lot faster than...well...than they've already been waiting...

Puttering

I have been working on a variety of projects that do involve at least a bit of sewing each, but I haven't been inclined to take photos of parts of unfinished projects to share with the world. (Discord, yes. But not the world.)  I might get there soon, though, as all the parts of the different projects come together.

(This is why I don't generally work on multiple projects at once--I thought I'd give it a try again to see if I could balance/juggle things differently this time.  Nope!)

Weighty

 I have recently started following Buried Diamond.  I like the sewing projects a lot, but it was the post about making pattern weights with resin that really set something off within me.  I have been interested in resin for years, but nothing quite made me want to finally acquire the necessary materials like seeing those pattern weights.

And it just happened that JoAnn had a big blowout weekend sale that did not include resin but did include a 60% off coupon that I could use on that full-price resin, along with a 40% off coupon I could use for a basic 4-cavity round soap mold (and another 40% off coupon put toward some moldmaking compound so I can make my own designs for jewelry use in the unknown future.)

And so I jumped right into my first resin project ever, with four layers each and loads of research into when the best time to add the embeds and the glitter and the next layers, and it being a lovely day so I could open EVERY window and put a window fan set to exhaust in the nearest one.

I demolded them the next morning and here they are
