TUTORIALS/RESOURCES: Cosplay, Sewing & Armor
Pertinent Quote of the Moment
(I promise I'll change this more often!)
(about sunlight) It poured like molten gold* across the the sleeping landscape - bright, clean and, above all, slow.
*Not precisely, of course. Trees didn't burst into flame, people didn't suddenly become very rich and extremely dead, and the seas didn't flash into steam. A better simile, in fact, would be "not like molten gold."
--- The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
