I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery - basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn't use (either because they were too similar to ones I'd already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload - here's a few of them. Cath's breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling at the right camera. All the added photos should be at ...
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls' room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled - they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy to get on - the only drama was getting Chase's Han ...
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart - she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with the Rebel Legion, since Chase was wearing part of his Han ...
Well, actually I'll start on Thursday :) Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to actually be there Thursday morning but was unable to make it, ...
Sneak peek! After this test fitting we realised a few things needed fixed - namely the straps of the shinguards around the ankles were too small (wouldn't close at all), the foam inside them needed to be trimmed, and we needed to add extra straps to the wing harness, at the top. We've done all those except the addition to the wing harness - I'm doing that after I finish ...
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don't like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So yeah, first thing! Oh and I just remembered I need to ...
Boushh: Weathering regular Wonder Woman: Belt still needs cut down Marasiah: Make tie piece, attach Make tiara Endor Leia: Finish holster & pouch
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it's got dogs. I guess that's what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren't they cute together? Man I love that mask. YUM! Chase says, put the camera down. So Saturday came ...
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today -- get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for the chest, figure out how to attach the cape, and ...
Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I'm pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts -- discovered a few things that need to be fixed. ...
