Everything i’m doing for Dragoncon is still so up in the air. We’re trying to buy a house soon – like, very soon, by the end of July soon LOL
I’ve been working as much as I can, but it’s been difficult, we’ve been stuck house-sitting for almost 3 weeks, which has been a pain considering we need to be packing and everytime I try to sew, I get a ways into it only to realise I’ve forgotten something at home. We’re back home today, though. And of course money is tight right now, with most of our extra cash tied up in our down payment/fees/etc. So I’m trying to reuse stuff for these Dcon costumes as much as possible.
Stuff I’ve been working on…
Golden Age Black Canary…
I’ve got the pieces for the bodice cut out. That part is going well. I still need to pick up fabric for the jacket. I’ve got my tights – need to have Chase make the mask.
I may reuse boots I’ve already got, and I may just reuse my regular Black Canary wig instead of finding something more retro looking. I can always replace it later.
big green monster…
I realised the other day that so many of my Dcon costumes I want to do are mostly green LOL. this is the big monster that I already have pretty much everything bought except one more fabric I need for the sleeves. I honestly don’t know if I’m going to get this done since it’s a lot of work. But I’ve been chipping away at it as I can.
Poison Ivy…
I’ve been wanting to do another Poison Ivy, and I want to get it done for Dcon for the Poison ivy/Harley Quinn shoot. The only thing I need to get are some more leaves and vines and things. Watching for sales @ Hobby Lobby.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch…
I’ve got a few of my materials – I think all I need is red spandex for the details.
Rogue…
I’ve still got to get my wig(s) – but I’ve got pretty much everything else. I’m reusing a pair of boots as the base.
Wonder Woman…
I need to pick up fabric for the top, but this is why Chase did the bodycast, so he could sculpt a new chestpiece. i need to look at my references again, but I think I’ve got all my other fabric.
Jean Grey Marvel Girl…
Since I have the face sculpt Chase used for Huntress, he said he could also make me a Marvel Girl mask. I’ve found fabric – just need to buy it – not sure what to do about the wig, don’t know if I want to spend money on it right now, I may just wear my Phoenix wig. I’ll have to wait and see.
As for “old” stuff, I plan on taking Huntress, Silk Spectre I, regular Black Canary, Sleeping Beauty, maybe Ame-Comi Wonder Woman, and regular Scarlet Witch.
If stuff doesn’t get done, then I’ll probably add some more old things to my list. Maybe wear Funeral Padme again, Belle’s Library dress, any other suggestions for “old” stuff ?
