I haven't gotten much of anything done this past week, I've been super lazy. I was off work yesterday and again today to work on stuff, but hardly got anything done. I did make this. Really using my time wisely. We did play withe Worbla. And I dyed my chiffon for my cape, although I think I'm going to re-dye it to go more lavender than pink.
Since it's Dragoncon season again, the question keeps coming up - "How do you wear so many costumes at a convention??" I've answered the question here at my blog once before, but I thought I'd tackle it again, this time a little less tongue-in-cheek. The amount of costumes I can take/wear depend on several factors. 1. On-site Hotel Staying at the hotel where the convention is happening is a huge ...
One of the questions I get a lot from random people is how do I wear so many costumes at Dragoncon? (On average, I usually wear around 12 costumes at Dragoncon.) Let's say an "average" non-costumer is at Dragoncon for the same amount of time as we are (4 1/2 days). Each day they wear a different change of clothes. Each night, they change into pajamas or whatever they sleep in. So, a ...
So last night I dreamt that I was at Dragoncon with my Donna wedding dress still in the state it currently is. I was freaking out because it wasn't finished, particularly because I didn't have a veil. So I'm in the hotel room, trying to hot glue scraps of chiffon together to make a veil (for some reason I had a bag of fabric scraps...). Chase is there, telling me ...
Dragon*Con Questionnaire What’s your badge name? kelldar I think it is anyway. I may have changed it this year. I can’t remember at all. Where are you staying? Marriott - been there every year since 2002. What day are you arriving/leaving? Arriving Wednesday leaving either Monday or Tuesday. Will you be cosplaying? What days? As whom? (edit: photo link was broken, can't find it anywhere, so I've ...
Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I'm only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I've got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I'll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it's just budgeting factors.) Obviously one of those 4 is Romana I. Two others are group projects, ...

My 11th Dragoncon is in the books and it was another great year! So here's my little report/pics/whatever you want to call it. We got into Atlanta Wednesday morning, got checked in and unpacked. Keep reading: (more…)
