a brief moment of panic
and then we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. Decided to keep the too-dark fabric, which worked out well since they couldn’t exchange it for me. Redesigned the dress, and I like it better than my original design. So – yay! And the fabric is gorgeous, I love the colour – probably like it better than what i would have…

Sketchblog: Arwen
Just started doodling my Arwen costume one day. Dunno why.

Marie Antoinette Fabric…
and it’s absolutely NOT what I wanted. I’m so freaking disappointed, I don’t know what to do. I guess it’s my own fault for not getting a fabric sample; but I’ve ordered from this store dozens of times and never had an issue with the picture online not looking like the real thing. This fabric is MUCH MUCH darker than…

Marie Antoinette & Lady Blackhawk Updates
I forgot to mention my hoop story yesterday when talking about my marie panniers. I bought some hooping last year for Lady Gaga that I intended to use for the hoops all around her. Week before dcon last year we decided they were too heavy which caused a lot of last minute drama. So I’ve had all this hooping getting…

murray antoinette, hoops and corsets
So I remade the side pieces, and was a little more careful cutting around the tabs this time (a little too much so… I hardly have any tabs LOL) But it feels and fits much better, so whatever. I got the hoops in the panniers. Still have to attach it to the waistband, do a little handsewing on the hoop…

Alyss wig
This is for TanitaMagarita! It was easier to just throw this on my blog than ending up with 5 or 6 tweets 🙂 The foam I like to use is a dense grey foam we get in shipments where I work, here’s a pic of it on my wighead: This is the same foam, also: It’s pretty similar to the…

Cleaning up my Flickr
Going through my photosets on flickr, removing unnecessary photos and just cleaning stuff up. I just finished going through my Belle folder, and generally I don’t like the way I look in the costume – I mean, I don’t hate it, far from it, but I never thought that wig/hairstyle looked very good on me. But I noticed something funny…

frustrated… Marie Antoinette Corset
I finished my Marie corset, only to be totally unhappy with the fit. It’s “ok” right now – a tad big. I already took it up a a ton and it’s still overlapping in spots. The tabs along the bottom are stretching out too far, and it’s not pulling tight around my waist – the only place it’s pulling tight…

the pauper of the surf, the jester of Tortuga
Went to see Pirates last night – I liked it much more than the last two. The cool thing was almost everyone from work ended up there and in the same theater LOL Not a lot on the schedule for this weekend. I’m going to keep working on Marie, maybe scan some stuff.

Marie Antoinette Corset star, and Prop Room
I got the corset put together last night. I had to take some of the boning out and trim some of them so I could take it up, because it was too big the first time. I just pinned it on the dressform to take a quick pic: Tonight I’ve got to put the lining in, finish the bottom and…

IM AWAKE! Starting Marie Antoinette
So apparently taking a whole imitrex in the afternoon leaves me wired for the rest of the night. I feel like I’m on drugs or something. Taking a a partial one makes me feel a kind-of cool anticipation feeling in my chest… this is that x10. So. I started Marie Antoinette. I haven’t taken any pics yet. I’ll try to…

post weekend
I got started on Marie Antoinette. Got my corset started, and my panniers cut out. A long way to go but it’s a start. Otherwise didn’t do a lot this weekend. Helped my mum move stuff out of her classroom, watched Doctor Who, did yardwork, and Ash came over today and made a sockmonkey. Basketball season is over, which I’m…

Art Post: Rose and Amy
I don’t know which I like better, my colourized black-and-white sketch better (left), or the more finished one (right). I’ve also got any Amy sketch, but I need more markers. I only had three to do this one with and my lightest one is totally dead. And, here’s the rough sketch of Martha:

Ms Marvel Updates, Spamalot!
This weekend was busy! I had Friday off and worked on Ms Marvel/Moonstone off and on – I had a sinus headache thing going on so I slept when i wasn’t working. We went out with Ashley & Kevin friday night and saw Thor – it was great. Saturday Chase was at the Grizz game allll day, from around 12:30…

Ms Marvel & Donna Noble Progress
My Donna Noble jacket is finished, except for finding buttons. Chase cut out the leather pieces of the belt for me, once he’s got those shaped right I’ve got to dye them and get them attached to the elastic and get the buckle put on. I’m really not happy with the tank top I got – it doesn’t even look…

All Clear
I finished reading Connie Willis’ “All Clear” last night. It was SO GOOD. Seriously I know people who have read the first book, Blackout, but nobody else has read All Clear yet so I have no one to talk about it with!! I wanted to send the author a message saying how much I enjoyed it but she doesn’t appear…

weird day

After lunch we headed back to their house for dessert where we got stuck by strong thunderstorms. Didn’t get home til around six. And now Chase is already in bed! He has a photoshoot at 3AM! Some party.…
