Otaku Crafting - The WaoHana Project In Progress

While I've been a fan of movie stars and bands and singers and even the occasional mecha or two in my life, there's one thing I had never done for all of those fandoms where there were real people: send them fan stuff. You know, like write them letters or send them cards or little gifts.

But this year I'm now working on improving my crochet, and someday maybe to open up a little business in that direction. So I'm kicking off my ambitions by creating a set of items that I will be sending away as gifts from a fan.

That's Wao Youka in the brown pants and shirt, and Hanafusa Mari in the dress. (Yes, they're both women.) They're my absolute favorite Japanese personalities right now. After they graduated together from the Takarazuka Kagekidan, they formed a talent agency called the Wao Enterprise; Hanafusa serves as the manager/agent, and Wao is the main talent.

I've been blogging the progress of these gifts over at PJ Goes Pop! so do drop by if you're interested.
