Just an update on the muslin sinar tichel I made to top my Scottish costume with a somewhat period accurate looking headcovering...It was great. We were running late and I was able to wrap my hair in 30 seconds. It looked right at home with the rest of my outfit and since it was made out of cotton, I didn't feel overheated when the weather got confused and made like it was midsummer in October. In conclusion - I need to make a couple more of these and try to tye-dye them for every day wear since the muslin is comfortable but a little plain for anything other than a historical costume or around the house.
In only slightly related news, while at the zoo, our Little Monster's favorite animal was the piranha. In an area with several interactive and attention grabbing animal exhibits and a jungle themed playground she kept running back to the small piranha display tank in the corner. This confused the husband creature to some extent but made perfect sense to me. They are shiny, carnivorous, and potentially deadly in a pack. Sounds pretty awesome to me too.
