word vomit

Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin's dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It's a lot. I got a new friend. Luna is not impressed. Chase discovered a Chip and Dale tree ...

Oh my god you should see your faces

I'm back with a huge dump of content. Let's start with white backdrop shoot round 1 results! Also portfolio entries for all 3 of these are updated with more pics and any other little notes I wanted to add since Dragoncon. Mara Jade: Shin Hati: Taylor Swift: Speaking of Taylor Swift... time for a trip recap! We left bright and early Halloween morning and drove to Louisville. Had dinner at a troll ...

hello darkness my old friend

Hi Again. I finished the Shin cloak. Got all the costumes pulled for the first 2 shoots. Went to iron Mara and discovered the back hem was pinned up about an inch with 3 pins (all on the inside.) So I guess I wore it like that at Dragoncon and didn't notice when I steamed it. It looks like I was going to shorten the center back but forgot and just closed ...

champagne problems

Wow! After weeks of nothing much to post about, I finally have a decent amount of stuff to post about! First here's a couple of Chase's pics of my Wanda at Zooboo last weekend. And my parents! Monday I got something in the mail I'd been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I got #15 out of 100. It's gorgeous! It lights up! Ahhhh! I ...

wild & free teen angst morning

That's my spotify daylist playlist this morning LOL "You listened to pop and delicate in the morning. Here's some teen angst, teen rock, brat autumn, wild & free, do it for the plot, and teen pop." I had some weird dreams last night. I dreamt I was at the Hyatt at Dragoncon (only dragoncon in my head though, it didn't actually look like the hyatt) and my costumes were spread ...

worldwide epiphany

Did I sew this week? LOL NO I do have a little sewing project I need to get started on this week that is not Shin or Baylan capes, so I'll probably at least get everything back in the attic space and look over my fabric remnants to see if I've got enough to do it or if I need to go shopping. So Chase and I have made some ...

old cardigan

Here I am again with nothing important to talk about or show. I also did not go in my sewing room at all in the last week, not even to clean up the attic stuff. So now I've got 4 weeks to finish these capes. Which is do-able but I wanted to get an early start, ah well. Finish is the wrong word for Baylan's cape - correct for my Shin ...

would’ve could’ve should’ve

Oh hi, I don't have a lot to talk about this week, except that it was my birthday. Nana brought me balloons!! Chase got me the folklore vinyl and the Pat McGrath Taylor Made Lip kit (I used it friday night, it's sooo nice, it might actually be the catalyst for me to finalllly throw away my ancient tube of Mac Russian Red and switch to this as my go-to ...

art dump post

Going through and updating the site this week and I realized I didn't have all of my recent art uploaded, so this is a catch-up art post. First up, i did post some of the Star Trek pieces I did earlier this year, but I didn't post all of them. Basically I'd just draw some star trek characters in the evenings while watching tv before bed. There was no rhyme ...

a paperweight in shades of greige

Oh hi Not much to report on this week. I did put parts of Baylan and Shin on the dressforms to take some more pics. Gonna add a few of these to the construction page until I can get more pics of us IN the costumes. Got all of Dragoncon put away. As I was carrying the last bit upstairs (the garment rack) it felt weird, like all this build ...
