I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately. We've been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I've been thinking of! In the meantime here's my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.
At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to do: 1. Hoth Leia 2. Darth Vader 3. Padme's Lake dress 4. Bespin Leia 5. Finish Yuuko 6. Padme's Funeral Dress 7. Wonder Woman 8. The Bride 9. White Witch 10. Dorothy 11. ANH Leia 12. Team Zissou outfit So what did I finish? Hoth Leia? Yes, plus Bespin Escape: Darth Vader? Yes: Padme Lake Dress? Yes, twice!: Bespin Leia? Nope. Bought the materials, haven't touched them. Finish Yuuko? Somewhat - ...
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...
When you starting dreaming about your costume to-do lists.... well, it's just plain silly. Yesterday I focused on stamping and almooooost got the thing done. Chase still won't let me show the secret. But here's a few other pics I took over the weekend. Stitch's nose fell off after the Big Scoop. It was inevitable, it had just barely been hanging on for a while. Easily fixable. My main point ...
And as for my costumes that weren't new... here's how they did! Animated Leia: I know you all know I was squeeing like mad when I saw Gentle Giant had a huge version of the animated Leia at their booth! So first thing thursday morning was to hop over and get pics with it! I was stuck there for some time with folks taking pictures. I really enjoyed wearing it ...
I've finished my "Gentle Giant"/Animated style Leia costume and have added it to my porfolio!
Well, I'm back from Wonderfest. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the Ren Faire as I woke up sick on Monday :( But we decided to definitely go next year, and to go earlier in May when it's cooler. Anyway here's pics and new costume stuff: Chase and I drove up Friday night - it was an easy drive, only about 2 hours through the countryside. We got there around 9:30. The ...
Working on the Leia belt now. Here's a pic. I also put Ripley on and took a pic in the mirror, so here's a look at that.
"Different" Leia: Need to cut the slits, hem it, and add the hood, and I decided to go ahead and make a new belt. Or at least try to before next weekend. Gonna hit Tandy leather today. Ripley: Got all my pieces, just start altering and putting them together. New ANH Leia: No progress... I need to get on it.
Progress report: "Different" Leia: (the other "silly" one for wonderfest, i'm excited about it, LOL) It's almost done. I still need to cut the slits up the sides and hem it, and put the sleeves in and hem those, and add the hood. That's it! I have a little weird place on the neck i want to fix, and a place where the seam got a little poochy to go ...
