March 2021 – Certainly Strange

Prototyping Tal Shiar Uniform

I’ve decided to start prototyping STO’s Tal Shiar uniform. I’m still going through the drafting/prototyping process, but I won’t be able to put off the quilting forever…

Sourdough and Romulans

I saw a post from exactly a year ago where I was working on my Romulan uniform and baking sourdough to keep it all together in the pandemic isolation. And I realized that, here I am, still making sourdough and Romulan uniforms one year later.

Once I finish a uniform I am, of course, happy that I get to wear it around all the time. But at the same time I always get a bit sad because I don’t have something to consume my time and focus anymore. So I end up starting a new one. We’ll see, I might end up cranking out 4 or 5 different uniforms before this is all “over.”

Prickly Head

I was thinking about how Hakeev does an impressive job keeping a clean shave, but if an all-hands or red alert was called while he was sleeping then he would probably end up running to the bridge with a prickly head.

I honestly spent way too long trying to think of what Hakeev would wear to bed while on a ship. I’m still not sure.
