my new costume

Farasha Hanem · 01-18-2008, 03:07 AM

Well, here are my pics, as promised. Unfortunately, I had a hard time trying to take a picture of myself with my phone camera, so the pic of me in my costume is not very good, but I'll try to recruit a willing "photographer" later.

What do y'all think?

Boy, I hope I resized them to a reasonable...size...*click!*

Oh, good cow, how do you make a jpeg smaller? >_<

To make a jpeg smaller you may need to use a picture programme - I use photoshop, but you can use picasa which is FREE!! and you tell it to resize and give it the dimensions you want. I can't remember whether it's pixel width on here, or inches/centimetres, but whatever you just tell the programme the width and they usually adjust the height to match.

What gorgeous detailing on this - I love the drape on the top, and it's not quite so revealing as a full-on bedlah. Yummy colour too!

And I am sooooo jealous of your hair - so long! I'm just growing mine again and it's only just past my shoulders...

Oh, gee, I didn't want to make anyone jealous!

*feels bad now* But thank you, though.

I'm sure your hair is gorgeous already; post a pic of yourself sometime.

Here are a couple of more pics that my daughter took (finally figured out how to resize the pics in PhotoBucket

) :

I can hardly wait until the end of this month when my class and I perform for the first time!

Thank you, janaki, adiemus, karena, and Reen.Bloom!

*hugs!* The costume is black with gold beading and coins (sorry, the camera phone isn't the best in the world, but the only other camera I have is a cheapie digital one, and it's picture quality is even worse than the camera on my phone, lol). I'm so excited; now, let's hope I stop dancing like a hiccupping centipede wearing all-left combat boots!
