as prior reporting suggests, i've wanted to do this for longer than i can even remember, and when my girlfriend brought me back five gorgeous yards from her incredible trip to tanzania, i bought a dvd gele-headwrapping tutorial and it works! this is just the style i have always wanted to wear.
and i have four more yards just like this! i need to get an iron and sort of fold them in the shape i need to have them when i put this on. it's an upper arm workout for sure, but this one is even better than the one i tried last night at about a quarter to midnight immediately after watching the dvd.
i'm glad i have an option of both showing off my fabric and never cutting up the yardage. it'll get some wear and tear but will ultimately remain intact, because i'm sure it will be interesting to pass on one of these days.
off to ikea to amaze the locals!
