Uggggggggh I'm back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It's time for this year's Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town - but Hurricane Harvey put a stop to his trip, so he stayed home all weekend. ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
(This post may seem a little repetitive - this was ported over from my livejournal and recapped a lot of stuff I'd recently posted on my blog. Now that my LJ posts are part of my blog, it's very redundant!) A recap of recent costume-y stuff... MTAC came and went and we got stranded there an extra day because of the flood. It was all pretty icky, for everyone involved. ...
I forgot I uploaded my Padme funeral dress pics last week. Here's a few. I've still got Wonder Woman, Selene and Anne Boleyn to get uploaded. Just haven't had a chance. Hope to get 2 out of 3 of those up tonight.... if I have time before we leave to go see ECLIPSE! LOL We are going to the midnight show. So excited lmao
Well since I'm mostly done for the year - outside of my little secret project - I'm gonna go ahead and post this. I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
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, ...
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It's a little on the light side, I may dye it again -- AFTER Dcon. I'm tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight, more Boushh knees, Wonder Woman stuff, and Marasiah stuff. One ...
Finally finished all the colouring on the stupid cape. Really, had to make myself stop - I keep messing with this thing for forever, but I don't have time for it. Now i just need to finish up all the bloody sequins and sewing the lining in, and fix the neckline on the dress, and it's finished. That's basically all I did last night, since I was so close to ...
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven't done anything with them in ages, and I've got so much left to do on everything else, I don't know when I'd have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops, and worked on the Padme cape and my Wonder Woman ...
A new batch of progress pics. Spikes for my Boushh gloves came yesterday... My endor donut (with the unattached bill sitting underneath it), base helmet I need to finish and one of my Boushh boot tops that isn't finished. More Boushh Boushh armour about to be painted. KC WW helmet molds Endor poncho yesterday, drying in the sun before getting another set of colour... and before getting bleached again because ...
