I usually post Monday and apparently I didn't since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I'm going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about... yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter Pan. Speaking of which, Tink and Peter video breakdown is ...
First up I FINALLY got the Tinkerbell portfolio page put up -- it's here! Only took me all week! Beyond that I have nothing to talk about in terms of costumes. I got my sewing room cleaned up. Packed up some stuff in there that wasn't necessary - IE, in my cabinet I have all my music CDS on the top shelf, that just collect dust. So I packed those ...
I have a bunch of stuff to post. Buckle in! First loooook what came in the mail last week! I'm finally gonna retire my old Hermione. Been wanting to for a few years now! I bought Luna's wand back in 2015 intending to start on a Luna costume and just never have... but now I have a sweater and a patch... I'll probably start collecting more stuff for it later this ...
Everytime I have a lot of hand-sewing to do, my fingertips get so sore they feel like they are burnt. That's how they feel today. So yeah that's mostly what I did this weekend. Hand-sewing and beading on Tink. Didn't use my sewing machine once because everything left had to be done by hand. Did a whole lot more beading. Hand-sewed down the rest of the mesh along the waist. ...
I hope nobody finds this post by googling "Peter Pan Pants Pattern" because I'm not actually talking about Peter Pan's pants pattern. It's just something Kevin and I kept saying last weekend as a tongue twister LOL So I've spent the bulk of this week focusing on finishing up Peter Pan. Tuesday I was all like "I'm going to finish ALL of it tonight!" and then that didn't happen, so ...
So I know that my site and blog have changed a lot over 20 years. From fanart, SunDowner and screaming about college in 3 posts a day, to 2 years worth of online quiz results, to talking about nothing but costumes and housework. (Seriously you guys have no idea how many quiz result posts from 2007-2009 I deleted when I ported my blogger posts over.) My blog and website are mostly just here ...
So now we are entering the "modern" era of my artwork. And I've actually been producing quite a bit more the past few years than I did in 2005-2009... it just took a bit to get there. I produced absolutely no art whatsoever in 2014, only year for that to happen... February 28, 2011 - ART POST: DOCTOR WHO I doodled this for Chase for a valentine's Day card - the original was ...
So... yeah... my art output really dropped off through 2004 and then even worse into 2005. Let's see what I can even find to post. February 11, 2005 - ART POST: JAMES AND LILY (HARRY POTTER) This was the last year I did something for the HP Valentine's Project. April 18, 2005 - SUESSICAL POSTER This was one of my fav posters I did. And it went a lot faster because it was a quicker way ...
So we start 2002 off in a high note - I got my first wacom tablet for Christmas 2001!! No more mouse!! January 28, 2002 - GALADRIEL My first full piece done on the tablet - Galadriel! Of course Fellowship of the Ring had JUST come out so I was on a LOTR kick. February 1, 2002 - ART POST: GINNY OEKAKI (HARRY POTTER) So ok, this chat board program called an "oekaki board" started popping ...
So now we move onto my favourite art of 2000 and 2001 -- this post covers the smallest amount of time I'll be doing this week, because there was SO MUCH ART these two years. At this point I had 2 issues of SunDowner under my belt and finally felt like I was getting comfortable in my drawing style - and I was on the verge of getting into Harry Potter so these 2 ...
