So I got home yesterday and instead of jumping into the last little bit of embroidery I needed to do, I decided I was mentally ready to dye my shoes and lining. Shoes were first and took to the dye beautifully: After they sat and dried for a while, I put them back in again during round 3 of dyeing the lining and got them a little bit darker: They could ...
Last night I got alllllllmost done with the big spires. I could've stayed up another half hour and finished the last one but I was tired, so I'll finish it tonight. Then I have that one little yellow bit to finish, and then I have to figure out the shadow Xs in the upper spires -- I didn't trace them in because they were so small and fiddly, so I ...
I had Friday off so I worked solid Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Didn't go anywhere. Just stopped to eat, sleep, bathe, find new thing to watch/listen to. The stupid weather being crazy made me have a migraine the ENTIRE TIME and it's still on-going today. I'm ready to rip my head off. I'm so so so sick of embroidering. On Sunday every time Chase would come into the room ...
obi-wan has a moment of realization
...and hopefully it's not a train. I worked pretty much non-stop on Bespin all weekend. From the time I got home Friday through around 10:30 last night. Stopped Saturday to run to the bookstore and dinner with my parents. And for a couple of naps. Again not a great photo of it, the lighting in our bedroom is awful and yellow and I didn't bother to straighten it out very well, ...
I'm breaking this up into sections so I don't forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I've done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here's Kylo Ren: whatever Here's Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started out with a much different sketch - more of a static, ...
Visioncon was awesome, I'm going to try to write everything down before I start forgetting stuff... though I'm sure I'll still forget something anyhow! Thursday I got home from work and finished packing... It was really like a Dragoncon trip. Had my Dcon bin, 7 garment bags with 2-3 things in each of them, 3 wig boxes, makeup case, our personal bags, a bin of stuff for the booth... wow. The car ...
So at this point I'm almost done with all of the yellow spires... I have to finish the upper center, and I'm probably going to redo the middle left upper spire too - it was the first one I did and it doesn't look great. The bottom section with the flowers is totally done. Once I finish the spires all I have left is the small flowers towards the top ...
I managed to finish my prequel trio!! So I'll have all 4 sets available as prints at Visioncon. Here's Anakin His pose ended up being stiffer looking than I wanted but OH well. Obi-Wan: I like how this one turned out, pretty happy with it. I decided to put them both in their Clone Wars looks... more interesting to draw than their jedi robes and does tie back into Padme's battle ...
I have absolutely no progress to show on my embroidery because I mean, it all looks the same. Hi here's another flower it took me 4 hours of my life and it looks exactly like the other 24 I've done already. I am ALMOST done with the bottom half. I should finish it up this weekend. And my hope is to also get the main spires done on all the remaining 4 segments ...
