FAQ Friday: Mustafar Padme Hair

Sorry I don't have any pictures for this like I do for my Leia hair breakdowns; I'm kinda doing this one on the fly! So here's my best reference for the Mustafar hairstyle; this is from padawan's guide: And here is an other screencap. To be perfectly honest, my Mustafar costume was a quick, very non-serious costume I did just to match my husband's Vader, so I didn't try too ...

Timothy Zahn Signing Pics! & Leia updates

Well, I Istill/i haven't worked on anything lately. I did get my ceremonial Leia skirt pieces out and washed them, since it had gotten something on it while laying around in the sewing room (who knows what, probably paint or something. It came off). Mum agreed tonight to look at it with me and help me figure out where I am with it - I don't remember! I think ...

Dragoncon 2006 wrap-up: everything else

All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...

Dragoncon 2006: Friday pics!

I'm home from Dragoncon! I got home yesterday and had to work, so I came home and pretty much crashed. It was a great weekend! We did dub it "The Weird Dragoncon" because we didn't do thinks like we normally did. I'm working on getting my pics up while here at home. I just got my wisdom teeth out at 10 this morning - only the two on the right side. ...

Mustafar Padme wrap up

First and foremost: I've got to do the hair differently next time. I didn't pull my hair tight enough, and I need to leave my bangs down in the front a bit (even though I know that's not how hers is, I just prefer to have my hair like that). Otherwise... The whole costume was wonderfully comfortable! :D I'd like to take up the top a little bit, once I ...

Finished Costume: Mustafar Padme

I've finished my Mustafar Padme costume and have added it to my portfolio!

The X for Rogue is done. She's packed... The Padme brooches are done (although the casting didn't work; we're going to try it again after the con, so I'll be wearing the sculpey ones there) and packed. Lake dress is not done. It'll have to go with me on the plane. Yesterday was NOT a good day. I won't go into the details but nothing went right yesterday. The worst ...

Lake dress & Mustafar updates

Danielle's lake dress is nearly done; I spent the afternoon dying the chiffon. Interesting experience... i did it a different way and for the most part i'm pleased with the results. The only thing i was disappointed in was the blue... it faded a LOT, especially at the bottom, so when I dye mine tomorrow I may put the bottom of hers in as well to try and get the ...

Padme Lake dress 3.0: The base dresses are put together, and dyed. Haven't hemmed or put the snap in at the top. Doing that today. I got the chiffon overlay cut out for Danielle's, and I've started edging that. Looks good so far... Tonight I'll cut my overlay fabric fabric out and start on it. I'm hoping to dye them on sunday. Rogue: Finished, except for a couple of little things: ...
