A few things

1. Dress Progress! I got the underdress totally hemmed night before last. Last night I got the other sleeve put in, and started hemming the chiffon. Mom gave me the idea to do a very small, tight zig-zag along the edge. I tested it out on some scraps and liked it. I started at the very back where I had some excess, so I could trim it off if I didn't ...

Art Post: Unfinished Costume Art

So I was trying to do this project where I was drawing each of the costumes I'd done, so I could use them as the reference in each portfolio entry -- that way, I'd have a good full-length view of the costume I'd made for the viewer to compare. I actually got a few done before I abandoned the project I never used them. Here's a few that got drawn ...

today’s princess

i have art to post today!! Another Padme. Still haven't finished that wedding dress one.

a sketch and a wig

I've got a very rough sketch for you today... Well I didn't get any major work done on costumes last night - I spent the majority of the night trying to figure out how to do my Amidala hair now that I have shorter hair. I thought it would be easier actually... but it wasn't, I didn't take into account my shorter layers. I couldn't get it to work. I ...

today’s princess… Padme Robe

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I was exhausted! It's "No Kevin Week" at work - he's at camp, so we're having to do his job. Boy do you appreciate all the hard work he does when he's not there! I came home and went to sleep... then woke up and made some ruffles. More on that later. I had this done sunday night and meant to post it yesterday. Sorry! :( ...

a whole lot of nothing… and Picnic Padme

So I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but all of it added up to nothing, pretty much. We ran errands, I messed with the serger, vacuumed, gave the dog a bath, cleaned... etc. I didn't really mess with costumes, I'm kinda stuck at the moment until I can go shopping. today I am going to finish the sleeves on the underdress for one of my costumes - I decided ...

up too early & a sketch

I'm up early because I have a dr appt this morning. ugh! A few people suggested I make a facebook page (as opposed to my profile). I waffled about it for a while... because I really didn't see the need when I have a public profile anyone can friend. But I asked Chase if I should and he said "sure"... so I made one yesterday LOL. I'll be using it ...

Padme Picnic Preview

I'm going to have to start posting in-progress pieces in order to post something everyday - I've got too much sewing to do for Dragoncon to be able to draw every night. So here's today's sneek peek. This week has been dragging on. Next week will be worse - Kevin will be away at camp! So work will be boring.

Gaga corset, and Padme art

I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven't been able to upload pics - but only it certain places. I can't upload using flickr's main uploadr, which I've never had an issue with before - I have to use the basic uploader where you can only do 6 at a time. I can't ...

Legos, and Padme Travel Gown art

We got no work done last night. It was a night for vegging out. We picked up dinner instead of cooking, watched the Tudors (one more episode and we're caught up - I really like the woman playing Katherine Parr, she's really pretty) and played Star Wars Legos. I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one, for our wii. We previously had the two separate games ...
