Dear Sts Friends:
Well, it has begun, the creation of my fictional creatures. See, what I've done is use some of my lego minifigures to represent some of the mutants in my document. This doesn't always work for EVERY single creature, because they're all different, but the idea works for the mutants that can turn into various things and animals. For example, the idea of the crayon mutant was inspired by a lego minifigure dressed in a crayon costume. See? In that case, the idea does sort of work. But what about the rest of my fictional creatures? Well, I'm still working on how to do that, but at least I've got some models of fish and whales that can be used to make patterns for mermaids with. Hey! I was just about to tell you about that. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "But Aschuck, that's impossible." Not if you have a really good model of an orca, for example. See, if the model itself is really big, the all you have to do is make a pattern by sewing your preferred fabric around the whale's body, and then you cut the stitches you just made, so that the figure itself doesn't get caught in a costume (No pun intended), and there's your pattern. I myself have never tried this, as I know nothing about sewing, but maybe someday these ideas will work. As for the fabric situation, many of the fictional mermaids and mermen in my document have been inspired by various fabrics that have come from JoAnnes. Currently, I'm making a catalogue of all the colors and textures of fabric that I like. It's called the Fabric Portfolio, and it's really cool. Basically, it's an ongoing collection of fabric that is useful for sighted and blind people alike, although it's not very useful for someone who can't see color. Some of my friends would agree with me on this, but oh well, it's not very important, as of right now. Anyway, I'll let you know more about this project as it speeds ahead, and yes, for those of you who love dogs, I have created a Pug Man, a Guy who can change into the form of a pug dog whenever he likes.
