serindeOur teams are given the task of finding something to put in a mermaid's tail to make it somewhat more lifelike; something less rigid than cardboard, more rigid than Rigolene (which might work if I had more than about a yard of narrow stuff), using only what can be found in the house because I still look too scary to venture out.
It may come down to just plain padding it. What a damned nuisance. Oh well, I s'pose that would mean I could use it as a seat too.
On the bright side, as soon as this quandary is solved, all I have to do is stitch the side seams, put in zipper, and do the waist. After that it's all handwork/ornamentation. Go Me.
Most of the flies are gone thanks to the fearsome hunter-gatherer who obtained flypaper and a swatter (though I did a lot more swatting. I hate flies). The rash, however, is not at all abated...."What do you do, then?" "I do what Kieron the Conqueror did on the cliffs of Adrilankha." "That being?" "I await the morrow."
