More Weave
I've added some more plastic yarn toy weave an have now started with wrappers.
The carrier bag yarn world best bit the wrappers build up nicely. I'll start combining materials on Monday.
I'll post my progress photos at some point over the weekend.

Low carb recipe and secret obsession
I recently tried a new recipe from my low carb cook book. It work out all right but I must stress to seperate the egg whites carefully as not doing this properly could mess up the whole meal.
150g sweetcorn kernals
200g spring onions, chopped
2 eggs, seperated
pinch of cayenne pepper
50g parmesan or blue cheese
6 courgettes
salt
pre-heated oven 180'c
Cook the courgets in boilling water for 5 mins, drain and cut in half. Scoop out the flesh and drain.
Mix the flesh with the sweetcorn, spring onions, cayenne, half the cheese and egg yolks. Add salt.
Whisk egg whites till stiff and fold into courgette mixture.
Put the courgette shells into a oven dish and fill with mixture and cover with remaining cheese then cook for 25 mins.
I rate this 3/5 as due to seperating the eggs, I think I messed it up. However I hope to cook it well in the future.
As I study fashion and have done since high school (all those years ago) I've always been interested in sub-cultures. Personally I think it's because I've never belonged to one or have either have been able to slip in and out of them (as my wardrobe is a real mish-mash).
One of these is the gothic lolitas of Japan, the victorian/edwardian little girl. There is femininity and then these girls. The style has spread to America and has gained propularity to the extent that the 'bible' in Japan is now being translated into english. I've bought volume 2 (and will probably buy more) and have found it interesting, as though these girls/women are very seperate in modern socitey they go about their lives etc with the same outlook on life (though with a bit more elegance).
Having been raised around chavs, my family being the biker varity and my early teenage years as a 'trogg' (I'll elaborate if asked) this is a more dainty and elegant look that the western goths could only dream of.
Despite having a 'natural' hatred towards new romantic (due to biker influences) I find that I often look like a mix between said style and punkish cross cute.
I've come a long way from my baggy clothes, tacky jewelary and thick chain trogg days, that's certain.
