Latest of my jacket:
Back

Painted the shoulder straps and cuffs, plus added some fabric I found on ebay and moved a pocket (on the inside now) and patch.
Badges

Linked these before but close ups:
Specimen

Haven't really done anything else recently except fixing an iPod. Yay for cheap broken things.

That jacket is looking awesome. I love the fabric on the front, it's got one of the effects I've been trying to get with bleach and dye.
Yay for badges =]

Thanks  Ah, I thought it would be too difficult, so I bought some haha. It's hand dyed fabric from a quilt shop, it was actually really cheap. There's about 55x27cm of it left if you want that? Otherwise good luck with the dying. I love the badges, got Strobelight Records and Eat Your Make-Up ones now too.

Yeah, the phone thing was cool. I can't believe that actually works! I'd like to see you paint the old handset & give it a little style now.

Umm, depends on how nice/neat you want it to look. I would say pretty hard if you putting the liner in a jacket that is already sewn together. First you would have to cut and sew together the lining the same size as the jacket.

I wish I had one of those RED phones! But what did you have in mind?
The thing is a cream colored one. I wish I had more parts, because it works really really well and I would gladly make another one for anyone who asks me! The next one will be better then my first prototype.

Kind of. Just take dollops of black paint and you can smear it on with a pallet knife or even just put some dollops of black and other colors on the shirt and just wad it up and let it dry.

Not on me, but the idea isn't hard.
I take it you know what a pallet knife is and I take it you know how to use it and spread paint around on some cloth.
It's really simple to do. Hell, you could just splatter black paint on it like you would bleach and get the same effect essentially.

I have neither of those 
But, I did get bored last night at 1am while doing homework and make turned some knee high stockings into sleeves (didn't have any regular stockings to do it with). Pitiful attempt is pitiful. But, I like them, and I'll probably buy some cheap stockings to slash up since these look goofy in short sleeves because they stop right before my armpit. I also got to (finally) put nail polish on, so it made the stockings look better. (I am generally not allowed to wear nail polish because I work in food service, but I took today off and won't work for 1.5 weeks.)

Niice.
Try wearing vests with them instead?
I've pretty much stopped wearing shirts altogether.
I'm like, vests only now.
At the moment I'm wearing a Dawn of the Dead vest and several pairs of layered ripped tights and fishnets on my arms.
I need to put nail polish on sometime...
