"I am the library and the librarian, hoarding lives, a catalog for the faithful. Erase my name."🪶

What the actual freaking fireball?!
It is with great disbelief that I announce that my Sparklina Kefta is officially finished!

And man am I speechless. I have spent the past HALF YEAR dedicating at least an hour a day to bedazzling this garment. Sometimes, on weekends and during this summer, it was up to 6 hours without break. I watched the entire show The Handmaids Tale while bedazzling the back of the Kefta and also dove into many, many, MANY YouTube videos about Resident Evil, film reviews and documentary topics. This has been a loving, breathing constant in my life for SEVEN MONTHS IN TOTAL.

So how can you tell me now that it is done? Finished. Just like that.

Though this might be the end for my crafting journey with the blue Sun Summoner uniform, I already gathered some ideas for future Keftas so that they can have a magical element implemented into them as well. Especially a Squaller and Inferni Kefta have caught my eye with some neat special effects! So stay tuned for there I might channel the small sciences once again, sooner than expected.
