Oh, it's so beautiful it almost makes me cry. Perfect to go with my gold dress, I think.

It arrived and it's absolutely beautiful, we're having lots of fun together.

I have some questions. Is this one of your KoolAid projects?The color is wonderful!

And is this the 5mm habotai sold by Dharma Trading? (I'm asking because I really like the light weight of it, and I'm thinking of trying to make some of my own).

jenlindseys · 04-18-2008, 12:09 PM

Yay! I'm glad you like it! Yes, the habotai is 5mm from dharma 45" wide. and it was a kool aid project! could you smell it? haha.. I still have the recipe at home if you want to know how I made it. I'm at work, but could post the mixture or email it to you later! I have noticed that the kool aid projects don't turn out quite as vibrant as the acid-dye veils, but if you add a lot of kool aid they turn out pretty great~

I have been dying to learn double veil so I'm thinking about experimenting with 1/2 circles next! I want to do a solid color with a different color trim around the edge.

I was going more for...bubblegum pink so I mixed two colors of kool aid (pink lemonaid and...strawberry?) which resulted in more of a coral look. I too was totally in love with the color, but I am realistic! I don't have anything to match it and I don't really dance a whole lot with the veil. I usually do 1 song/set when I dance at a restaurant around here...and my day job is stressful enough so I really only do a paying gig every other month...or less! Making veils is fun, but I honestly can't use that many. I'm still playing around with the colors and that's why I've sold a few on here.

I couldn't smell it, but I remembered you were experimenting. I've been looking for something super-feminine to go with my gold dress, in a color that compliments & warms without overpowering the costume, and this is perfect!
