Thanks, Trisha!

The 8'' pair is now down to 7''...I kept stabbing myself in the neck every time I turned my head to fast. That was just not going to work! I've got the first pair primed and they're just about ready to put the first coat of paint on. The dangles are done and waiting, and I figured out a seriously pretty way to attach them. Cheesy

Well, not much to report in the hair front today. I was going to go every other day without shampooing, (yesterday being the last time) but I got bug repellent in my hair earlier,and it was sticking together and trying to eat my comb. I couldn't let it go like that so two washes in a row. Hopefully it will forgive me.
On the hairstick front, the first pair has its first coat of red and the second pair is primed and waiting for me to find green spraypaint. Oddly enough, the spray red is quite a bit shinier than expected. I had originally planned on using red nail polish to do the ends, but I found out from a paint expert (at least he thinks he is) that the laquer in nail polish will cause paint to blister and crack . I'm not sure of that, but I didn't want to risk it. Especially not with my first ever pair! Tomorrow, they get masking taped (to cover the red) and black sprayed. Then, they get danglies and photographed! WOO!

I'm using such a weird mix of paints (industrial primer, red spray enamel, and black satin finish paint meant for metal) that I'm not sure HOW it will end up! I'll know shortly, the black paint is almost dry and I can soon remove the tape!

I would have been better off taking BikerBraid's suggestion and going with the nail polish! Yikes. it looks horrible, and the black dried with so many burst air bubbles in it that i wouldn't trust in in my hair! going to sand down the bubbles and paint it all black to see if that helps. if not... well the other set has a coat of red on them already, i'll just toss the black and keep it as an all red piece. Sad

Not to mention our truck's engine is currently being dissassembled in the front yard by a man who openly admits he has no clue what he's doing.

this has not been a good day so far.
but my hair is behaving well, so i've got something.....

A nice long deep conditioning session and sleeping late fixed my mood, at least. I wish fixing a truck was that simple! And good news, the sticks ended up beautiful. I'll get pictures as soon as I can get this screwy kodak software to function.

WOO! finally. I got pictures up of my pretty sticks, and also a new hairstyle I tried... I don't know if any of you have ever done it, but it ends up b-e-a-yutiful! admittedly, it will be even better once my hair is longer, but.. what isn't?

First off, showing off the double-8 and the new Redsticks, (don't worry that's paint not blood on the ends there, although I did manage to stab myself with them earlier Huh

)

Then a close up of the Redsticks.

Next off, the Homage To Spring pair in a two sticked 8.

and a closeup of the Spring pair (named after the sunflower and dragonfly danglies)

I'm not sure if they're completely complete though. I might shorten the Spring danglies a bit. I do like the antennae look though.... Shocked

Note: edited to correct links and add a sentence.

AArgh! I think my hair is shrinking. Shocked

! It went from 28'' after my trim to 27 3/4'' today! I haven't done but one S&D, and I know for certain sure I've not nipped THAT many hairs! Cry

And my poor kitty is in heat (I need to get her spayed badly)... and my guy's cat(demon?) is too. Together, they're driving me mad. They're walking around the house chirping... Voodou, my guy's cat has a deep throaty meow that is intensely grating. Emma, my baby has a weirdly high pitched squeeky voice... It sounds like a pair of tribbles wandering around.

Today has not been a good day, but if that's all I have to worry about then I'm still doing well.
