should i or shouldn't i dip my F+B elios in paint?

Nah don't, i think it'll crack too much and maybe like crumble and stuff but itll look like you actually tried to dip it in paint and not like the natural "accidentally" spilling paint on it. Like MMM

in spirit of the hybrid, modern-eclectic, interior design-inspired fashions going on, I'm playing with a nylon blazer popularized by Prada in the 90s and a classic jean jacket. Also something interior design inspired.

[Synthese]

no, unfortunately. I do have a lot of house paint lying around, though.

Here's a quick picture of the 65% complete fremen robe. Still no fasteners on it, the trim/liner isn't totally attached, and the sleeves are a mess. However, I still think it's pretty awesome so far. Working with this much fabric is exceedingly un-fun, however - especially when you know nothing about garment design or construction.

feel free to ask questions, although I doubt I'll be of much use.

That is pretty rad tho

ok, thanks. I did a little research and found that acrylic house paint will work best for pollocking my shirt sleeves
