Just a quick update in which I will *squee* a fair amount because my talented friends on LJ are just so kind & wonderful to me.
Yesterday I got two lovely hairsticks from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
golden_meliades! They are perfect in every way...a little shorter than the others, perfectly balanced, the colors are incredible and they are SOLID in construction. Really...can't say enough nice things about them. I immediately braided & twisted up my hair, & recruited mom to take a picture, because they are so damn pretty.
I wasn't using a mirror...I can see I didn't have both the ends of the sticks showing, but I don't care. They were SO easy to put it & they stayed put for the entire evening. WONDERFUL sticks. When she opens her Etsy store she's going to sell out of those in no time, once everyone sees how awesome they are. I'll link her store as SOON as she gets up & running.
Other very cool thing: A wonderful, hilarious package frommoko_moko(who I have missed terribly...turns out she killed her computer). She wrote me a beautiful letter and gave me a handmade card...and there was a "mystery product". Waay back when we were all Okami obsessed I mentioned that I'd LOVE to see her version of Waka because she draws the prettiest men. Well...
Isn't he incredible?? I knew she'd come up with something amazing, but this is beyond beautiful. Plus he's got SWORDS! two of them. *swoon* He looks a bit ragged...probably post-big-final-battle & I love the look of determination. He's not just a guy with stupid pretty hair. :-) I can't wait to frame it & have it up on my wall.
So, I'm a very happy monkey & you guys are ALL wonderful. *hugs*
