Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump

I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂

Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little trip, we’ll have to go back sometime since we didn’t really have time to sight-see outside of walking to a few of the monuments (I’ve been several times before but Chase hadn’t).

They sent a huge moving truck to transport the guys’ armor bins. The guys all asked if they could ride in the back and the driver was like, “I don’t care, hop in there.” When it came my turn to climb up there I wasn’t so sure about it… so the driver let me ride up front 🙂

The guys, except Chase

On the stage area at the Turner booth.

It was so funny to see all these grown business-men and women in their nice suits turn into giddy 13 year olds.

Chase repainted his armor for the event. I made the kama (though it’s not in this picture – long story)

The Turner people were really good to us, it was a nice event… after our “shift” was over we got to walk around and look at the booths, it was really cool, and there were a few celebs there pitching their shows. I never saw any of them, even though it wasn’t crowded at all. After we got done at the Turner booth it changed from “Cartoon Network” to “CNN” and they put all this food including some really really good mac and cheese.

Chase and I ate at a nice steak joint after that and then walked around the city for a bit.

Here’s the whole set:

And I have some more pics on the white backdrop to post.

Poison Ivy

And WW

I used my Zatanna wig, since my original WW wig is now sewn into my Ame-Comi wig. I like it a lot better.

Wonder Woman Wonder Dog.
Indy was soooo disgruntled taking these pics. We only took 4 before we said ok that’s enough… but we managed to get one shot. Thing is, she’s absolutely fine with the dress part, and she’s ok with the tiara – it’s that little fabric gauntlet on her leg that puts her in a snit LOL
I just love the look on her face though. This pic cracks me up.

Chase is going to completely remake my WW chestpiece and belt over the summer, I’m really excited!!

I’ve been starting to get ready for Dragoncon – I’ve 2 things I want to get done here as quickly as possible, my Golden Age Black Canary (going to the fabric store to pick up bodice fabric today) and I want to finish off the new Belle blue dress before it gets pushed to the side.
I’ve only got a few other definites for Dcon tho – a new Scarlet Witch, and a new Poison Ivy. And I’ve got one big project I’m going to order fabric for today, I’m really excited for it. 🙂
Outside of that I’ve got a list of costumes I would like to do, I’m just going to pick one at a time as I get things finished/close to being finished as the summer goes on.
