Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup

1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour's worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn't care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I'd tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it's not too cold out. 2. Black Canary This costume was SO freaking comfortable! I really fell ...

Dragoncon 2008 – sunday!

Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said "NO!") and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a while. Didn't take any pics that morning (lazy!). Then ...

I finished uploading our photos today, though - had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I'll break up my posts by days... there's a lot of stuff to go through. Our ...

Costume Updates!! and Ame-Comi WW preview

Sorry I haven't posted much - we've been working pretty much non-stop, trying to finish everything. On friday we found out the guy was not going to finish my wonder woman stuff, either, so we had to swing into action and a figure out a half-decent way to do it outselves. It came out pretty well. The situation just sucks - if we hadn't had to spend the better part ...

Frustration, and Starfire progress

So the situation I talked about last time has at least come to some kind of resolution. The guy said yesterday that he was pulling my pieces that night, and that he would send it out today. I sent him a fedex slip for sat. delivery, so if it doesn't show up tomorrow that's our clue to start working on my backup. Chase's isn't going to be done at all. ...

I think everything will get done

I am feeling ok about getting everything done in time. The only thing I'm not feeling ok about are the pieces of my Wonder Woman (my chestpiece and belt to be exact) and Chase's Green Arrow that a friend of Chase's was making for us - he still hasn't sent them. It's going to SUCK if they don't come in time and I don't get wear WW after doing all ...

There's not a lot left to do on Starfire - Chase is finishing up my collar, and painting that and the gauntlets... I just need to sew up the front of the bodysuit and attach the ...
