Costumery!
Well, cool.
I talked to Nancy earlier this week about some ideas I have for next year's Halloween costume. I told her I'd have some sketches and hopefully the pattern it'll be based from this weekend. I did manage to get the sketches finished, although I would have liked to have shaded them, etc.
Scooter come by the library tonight to see if I had anything finished, so I gave him what I had, including some swatches of fabric I'd prefer. He looked through everything, and seemed to like the overall design. We talked about the wings, in particular, and went over the different ideas I'd had to engineer the movement. He agreed that the loose hinges will probably be the best version, and is sure he can build the skeletal system to my specs. Nancy has made similar (static) wings before, so she should have no problem covering them once the frame is finished.
This is going to be SO cool. I need to start setting pennies aside so I can afford to do this before we move. Since Mike renamed me, he should see the result. :P
Oh...somehow the subject of computer trouble came up in conversation. Scooter mentioned a program called Data Lifeguard that will low-level format my hard drive, and could fix the problems it's having. He's saved several drives with it. So...*crosses fingers* Now to find a 3.5" drive.
