It's definitely not what I normally do on a Saturday, but it's something I love to do. I love to create things and see them done. Today, I worked on making rhinestone letters for some dance costumes for Nationals. I made 19 letters from Jet black Hot Fix rhinestones. It's not very hard, but it is a little time consuming because you have to lay down one stone at a time. It is also very wearing on the eyes. I was happy when I was done with all the letters. Now I have to iron them on to the shirts.
While I was in the mood, and I had all my supplies out, I went ahead and started working on the iron on transfers for some New Moon shirts. Some friends have asked me for a "blinged" New Moon shirt. The front will say New Moon and the back, a tag line from the book. I already picked mine, everyone else needs to pick out theirs.

I started working on this, but I'm not very happy with it so far, I think I need to order smaller stones, or play with the font size. I think they are going to look pretty cool.

I'm also making some pretty cool hats for another costume. I'm making 21 of those, I will post a picture of those when I'm done. I can't wait to see them all done. For now, I'm very tired and my eyes are blurry from rhinestoning all day, so I think I'll take a break until tomorrow. I might just go re-read Harry Potter and The Half Blooded Prince. I have to get ready for that movie. I guess that won't really help my eyes very much, now will it?
