This is me, 18 hours ago. I dreaded my hair (again!) six weeks ago, and they've been settling in well, with the usual loose hairs, bumps and wanna be dictator dreads that have to be stopped from taking over all the other dreads. If you've had dreads, you'll know what I mean.
Anyways, I was thinking about how to make these deadlines more socially acceptable for my sister's wedding- not that I Care, but I care that she might feel a bit embarrassed if I getup to do a reading looking like a hedgehog. I'm not entirely sure that what I've don't now goes anyway to fixing the issue, but I love it none the less.
Starting about 8 pm last night, I hand rolled some knitting wool into dread pieces and attached them to the stubby ends of my Sideshow Bob-esque dreads. Bye by Bob and hello rainbow!
The first few.
A while later.
Finished, the view from the back.
The end result.
You can see the roots of the real dress sitting in an odd way, but that will rectify itself over the next week or so as they get used to suddenly being heavy and subject to gravity. I miss my spiky hair, but I do love these soft beautiful woolies. Addie is very impressed with mum's "colours", Tiny likes to rub them between her fingers, and Andrew well, he said he's happy that I'm happy, bless him.
Ahhh, cool. Yeah not sure about the rectification of possible embarressment on your family's behalf but they are cool. How fun to be able to have long dreads so quickly. (As opposed to growing them. I'm sure they took a good while to make.) I think they'll be quite nice when they're all settled properly. Good old wool. And it's always fun to have some colour about your person. Nice work with the backwards photography too.
ReplyDeleteOh, interesting new set up by the way. It did take me a moment to realise I need to click for the full article but it's a funky layout. Very smart.
ReplyDeleteI've just enabled dynamic layout Kel. If you look at the black bar at the top of the homepage, you'll see that it has a menu [its default is magazine] so that you can choose different ways to view the blog - pick whichever appeals to you most :) I'm not a comercial blogger, so it works well for me, though I do need to make a new tab for the bloglinks I usually had on my front page. All in good time :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I had dreads as a youngun' but ended up with nits after mosh pit shenanigans with the boys at a Tumbleweed gig. I choppped them off quick smart. Hate the nits and random stuff I found in there....
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this beautiful rainbow. Love it!!!
