Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

Marie, K-9 and Flat Ryan
That particular outing, K-9 had a video camera behind his eyes instead of his regular “eyeballs” – I was showing Ryan to K-9 so he would be on his video.

Dragoncon 2011 Recap
I should have written this last week, at this point it’s already hard to remember everything! I’m not going to post a lot of my costume stuff in this particular entry; I’ll do that in the next one. So we left bright and early monday morning – on time, even! We went down through Alabama this year instead of through…

Panorama of Dragoncon
Sorry I haven’t posted anything! Been trying to get all of my pics uploaded before writing any kind of blog post about dcon. I’ve got the pics from my camera uploaded; waiting to get the rest of the pics from chase’s camera, so I should have them all up by this weekend. Here’s one I wanted to go ahead and…

Hippolyta and Emma Frost…
Heres my new Hippolyta crown: My Emma Frost cape: (the rest of it was packed and I didn’t want to dig it out) Finishing up a few last things tonight. I’m hoping to have nothing to work on tomorrow but finishing my packing, and the last of this embroidery.

Valkyrie and Rogue updates
So here’s “Pink Barf”…. aka this Shi’ar Rogue costume> from around Uncanny X-Men 342 (specifically the alternate cover which I’ve always loved.) It’s not terribly flattering LOL But I love the pieces Chase made for me, especially the shoulder pieces, so I’m excited to get some shots of it. I added a belt for two reasons – one to throw…

Enchantress and Hippolyta Updates
Here are the updates I did to Enchantress & Hippolyta. Enchantress: New crown – taller, slightly different shape, should hopefully be easier to put on than the old one. New wig – at least, the one that I was supposed to wear at ECCC and couldn’t get it on with the crown. Works now. Updated Bodice – added some more…

frustrated
I really have nothing to share today, other than I got Ashley’s Ood jacket put together last night. Also that my mom found my little camera. I’d been wanting it because I’m going to have pockets in a few costumes so I can actually carry my own camera. Managed to dig up the charger, too… but it’s not working. Chase…

A very busy belt: Valkyrie Progress
Working on my belt: This has been so much fun to make.

A surprise costume!
I’ve put this off because I wanted to finish everything else first and this was just extra… but here’s a sneak peek at a surprise I’m working on!

Marie Antoinette wig progress
Last night was Project Runway night, so I worked on my embroidery a bit, so otherwise not a lot of pics to show. I did try on my Antoinette wig: It’s amazingly well balanced. Didn’t need a single bobbie pin to keep it on my head. Of course I’ll put some bobbie pins in when I wear it at dcon,…

Marie Antoinette Progress, and Valkyrie stuff
less than 2 weeks now… The wig is done. I wanted to curl the leftover sections a bit more than they are, but everytime I tried on my test piece, the curling iron just straightened it! LOL I could have kept trying, probably, but decided to leave well enough alone. I’d like to add a few more pearls if…

Wig Progress: Ms Kim is drunk
I’m finally happy with this thing! Here it is with the main wig sewn onto the base, starting to cover the base… I wanted the curls on top to be much less structured than the base look was… a little wilder, so they’re just lightly pinned in place, they’ll move around a bit. All that’s left is to curl the…

Website update
Updated my costume progress page (finally, it was woefully out of date.)

Pink Rogue Suit UPdate
Hey! I found a progress pic of Pink Barf I never uploaded. Here’s the suit cut out with the yellow pieces put together and pinned on. I think this was before I had to go back and remake the front piece though…

Marie Antoinette wig Progress
So here’s some more on the Antoinette wig saga. In my last update post, I posted a pic of it and said I wasn’t happy, ripped it all apart and cut down the foam insert. Honestly, besides feeling it was a tad taller than I wanted, I’d also gotten the wig cap too small. It was hard to fit on…
