Hello my name is Dove and I'm a Miku expo defender. Really though, seeing Miku or any of the vocaloids live has been a childhood dream of mine since I got into them as a kid. I cried a few times hence my bottom eye makeup being smudged and one of my eyelashes trying to escape lolol.
But ye, I went in blind other than knowing the theme, contest winner (miku miku beaMMM), and the 1st song being anamanaguchi. I'm so glad I did. 2 utsu songs? Vampire? Gimme x gimme??? Fucking Miku Fiesta?? Man. I cried more at this concert than I have in like the past 5 months or so lolol.
And a big thank you to my friends who cosplayed with me! I had fun styling the rin and len wigs and kudos to my bud that cosplayed Luka. She had never cosplayed before, and she heckin' killed it. It was also hilarious because any video that I saw taken from the stairs behind us, I could see the stupid top spike of the len wig clearly in each one. Like, our len is a good average height. Stuck out like a sore thumb. Lololol.
Also yo to the other group of cosplayers we say immediately after at waffle house. Great minds think alike haha.
Nah tho. Miku Expo? Banger. If they decide to tour the US again and if they stop somewhere within driving distance, I wanna go again.
Thank you Miku, and thank you to the band. Hopefully crunchyroll will figure out their shit or someone else will be in charge next time. Yeehaw
So I'm trying to make folk linen pants from sowing to sewing.
Second post (here's first)
It's been about 60 days since sowing (it's 22nd of June). It's looking so pretty and started blooming about 55th day. I've been watering it one or two wheelbarrows of every 2 weeks, which I thought would be too little but it's growing pretty good. It's still not that high (about over the knee) and I doubt it'll get much higher sadly. That means lower grade of fibers but whatever. It'll be fine.
Every now and again there are parts laying down and I've been seeing some hares running about so they probably hide in it tramping down the plants. But it gets up no problem so all good. Maybe next time I'll put up a little fence around it.
Also idk when should I harvest it bc all the info is about oil flax, not textile flax, and even then it's contradictory sometimes. But either way it's around 100-120th day, so we're still only halfway.
Next up I need to start thinking about scuthing it, and it requires some equipment. But it's easy enough to build on my own probably. It should be something like this flax-brake:
And then this kind of metal comb, which I'll make just by densly putting nails in a blank:
So yeah, that's the plans for the near future. Here's a bonus flax video if you stayed till the end ❤️
