Got New Belly Dance Bling Oooh Shiny



I thought I'd make a goofy new hat for my juggling persona.  Only the event is tomorrow and I didn't work on it today at all. Some days I just can't seem to drag myself away from the computer. At least I juggled today. And I'll go work on the hat right now, which is crocheted.
I'm thinking of making juggling balls again, to be used for teaching at SCA events. Corduroy bags filled with millet work very well for juggling balls. It's really hard to make the balls a consistent size though.

Belly Dance Steampunk Fusion Hipband

I had already turned off my computer and was about to go to bed when I had an idea for a crocheted steampunk style belly dancing hipband. It will have metal washers on crocheted fringe and I'm going to see if I can heat treat the washers so they'll have rainbow colors. Too late to try this tonight, but definitely soon.

Craft an hour day

Today I decided to work on a different craft each hour.
So for the first hour from 11 to noon, I started a jester hat knitted in a wool/silk blend yarn.






From 12 to 1 I am working on a belly dancing 2 panel lace overskirt. I actually finished it in under an hour so I'm going to take photos now. This skirt has stretchy drawstrings so no matter how much weight I gain or lose, it will still fit.

From 1 to 2: Design a wrap dress to be made in stretch velour. I wanted to use the fabric in the photo but there is not enough of it. Not to worry. I found my box of velour so I'll find a bigger piece of something.




From 2 to 3: Write a tutorial for the belly dance skirt above: http://hubpages.com/hub/Tutorial-Super-Simple-Belly-Dance-Skirt-Fits-Any-Size

From 3 to 4 I worked on a crocheted hat.




From 4 to 5 I worked on my quilt.

Hair Medallions

Today I'm designing some hair medallions for tribal belly dancing. So far I've cut four leather discs. I'm just not sure what I want to do next. I have shells, beads, and bone carved bits. So I should be able to come up with something cool. I'm not sure what I want to use to fasten them to my hair. Barrettes? Hair pins? Rubber band hair tie loops? Hair combs? Any suggestions?
