When I go to the Renaissance Faire and CosPlay conventions, I try to decorate my wheelchair. As I age, it gets more important that my wheelchair goes through doorways than that I have a neato dragon on my wheelchair.
The easiest design for a wheelchair costume is a tube which serves as a flagpole. But finding the correct fabric for the flag is always a problem.
So I have "invested" in a Kickstarter campaign for a fabric company that allows artists to design fabrics. It is called Little Dipper.
One of the artist involved made me fabric signs for my office. She printed a dragon, my name, and Celtic patterns on fabric like paper. Then she sewed the paper so that a dowel could be run through the paper. This resulted in a miniature banner. Very cool. Too bad it is packed because even faded by the sun, they were the best signs that I ever had.
When I am feeling down, I always feel better if I complete a creative project. Right now I want to try to dye bone dragon buttons, which I put on my shirts. Bone is renewable, washable, dyeable, and easy to carve. It makes an excellent substitute for ivory.
