i know ... i'm just having trouble with costumes and such ,,, yesterday, while taking apart something i found this little motherboard, it looks like a face ... it's now part of a necklace... i can somehow see some barbarian finding it and thinking it was some god from a past generation or something ...

I just had my first sewing lesson. I don't think I can even remember how to thread the machine.

actually ... i usually wear a hat, in a vain attempt at keeping myself from becoming a prune. it would feel strange not to wear one. but i'll think of something.
. Beside, the Star Wars sandpeople thing isn't that far off from the barbarian aesthetic . . . from the neck down .Sounds possibly useable.
