I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating.
I really don’t have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I’ll post them all closer to the con.
Tuesday night I was already feeling stressed out and migraine-y (really bad) and stuff went wrong with what I was working on and it was a bad night. I messed stuff up. Had to start over and rebuild and just hope it worked. I’m still not sure it’s going to work. Won’t know til this weekend when I start putting everything together.
I haven’t had such a pre-Dragoncon con-crunch breakdown like that since Lady Gaga in 2010, when like a week before the con we realized what I had for my hoops wasn’t going to work and I had a meltdown. Thought I was over pre-con meltdowns but I guess not.
Last night I did a makeup test and it worked well. So that helped. I got new foundation; asked on my facebook a week ago for recommendations and ended up getting something nobody suggested LOL I was on amazon looking for something else when I came across Ben Nye’s foundation so I decided to give that a try because I’ve sworn by their body paint for years now. Tried it last night and liked it.
I can’t remember if I’ve said it here before but I’ve discovered that drawing actually helps ease a migraine for me. So yesterday afternoon I started on a Padme.
Sometimes I just think, “what’s a costume I’ve wanted to make but probably never will get around to” and then that’s what I draw. So that’s the case here, LOL.
Oh, I took some more Leia photos for instagram the other day so here they are:
Necklace!
My tiara/veil with the bun cover pinned onto the side.
Chase surprised me with a little gift the other day too!
OMG Dragoncon carpet rebel bird?! I’m going to switch back to my TARDIS bag for Dragoncon, so I’ll sew this onto the inner flap!
Luuuuuuuuna.
