How I did it
It made me
Creatively Happy 
How I did it: We had a christmas fashion show, and her hair had been backbrushed for it. We left it and then I split it into sections, one at a time, twisting the section very tight round my finger and backcombing it with a metal comb. I used wax (rubbed into each dread) to help it hold. We then added beads and knick-knacks in, some sewn in and some simply pushed up the dread until they could not be pulled off/moved.She hasn't washed it (except with no… Read how I did it…

Our suitcases took up the whole carriage - there was no floor! *haha* Also, the armed guards bolt your door, don't open it as there was some shouting outside ours and I think someone was thrown off (not from our party).

Novel length
4 months ago
Now 73,000 words and still unfinished though that’s only due to exams taking up so much time. I plan to complete it in the gap year.
