DRAGONCON 2007 PICS!
Well, actually I’ll start on Thursday 🙂 Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Sneak Peek!
Sneak peek! After this test fitting we realised a few things needed fixed – namely the straps of the shinguards around the ankles were too small (wouldn’t close at all), the foam inside them needed to be trimmed, and we needed to add extra straps to the wing harness, at the top. We’ve done all those except the addition to…

Boushh Preview Pic!
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don’t like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So…

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Updates, KC WW, Boushh, Endor Leia
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today — get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for…

Surreal
So um I just got an email from myspace saying, “Kelldar the Destroyer would like to be added as one of your friends!” Um, that’s ME, why would I be friending myself? I followed the link and there was no friends request from Kelldar the Destroyer. Freaking surreal, man, maybe somebody up there is trying to tell me something… like…

Boushh updates
Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I’m pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts…
-
KC WW stuff, Boushh, etc
Boushh pants are nearly done! I like how they look. They really just need weathering, now. Chase worked on the helmet for a long time last night, too. He got most of the leather on, I think. We’re still fighting with the cummerbund pieces, though… hopefully we’ll get them done soon. I worked on WW for a long time last…

Finished Padme, and other updates
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It’s a little on the light side, I may dye it again — AFTER Dcon. I’m tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight,…

when i refused to give in to beggars
You know what, ebay people? I rarely give feedback, because I don’t care. I don’t care if you leave me feedback, either. I especially don’t give feedback to people who beg for it. People who send me messages telling me to leave feedback. Last I heard it was voluntary, not required. I can’t freaking stand it when they came around…
-
Progress, KC WW, Padme
Finally finished all the colouring on the stupid cape. Really, had to make myself stop – I keep messing with this thing for forever, but I don’t have time for it. Now i just need to finish up all the bloody sequins and sewing the lining in, and fix the neckline on the dress, and it’s finished. That’s basically all…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Helmet
Ok I lied, Chase took pics this morning. Still needs the chin added. This is what he says about it: “Ok, here are the finals of what I will call the stunt helmet. This version has some very flexible plastic feathers to permit her to wear it over a wig and give slightly when she turns her head as the…

Updates on everything, KC WW, Boushh, etc
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn’t get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara – I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still…

Art Post: 2007 Costumes
As if I didn’t have enough to do, I decided it would be fun to make a little poster of all of my dragoncon 2007 costumes. Here’s some of the separate pieces, and the finished thing all together.

Marasiah and Endor Leia progress
I finished the designs on marasiah, yesterday, and also got my boots attached. Most of yesterday was spent on my endor poncho. I had to remake it – I’ll explain why, later. It didn’t take long – probably two hours, and I fixed some of the problems with the first one. Last night we ended up mostly doing nothing —…
-
Boushh and Kenner Leia progress
I actually got quite a bit done last night! Doll Leia is done, except for the belt, which will take all of 10 minutes to do, and putting a fastener on the collar. It cracks me up, I don’t think I’ve ever made anything so dumb looking LOL. Finished my endor helmet – added the bill. Fixed my rebel Leia…

Boushh, Boots and Plans
Didn’t feel very well last night – so I spent a while just laying in bed, watching Law Order and sewing on the rest of the bloodstripes, and picking out that seam on doll Leia I needed to. I finished both! Hurrah, I guess, LOL. Before that I did get my Boushh tunic cut out. Somehow one of the front…

Boushh, Han and Kenner Leia Updates
I’ve started having dragoncon dreams – a little later than usual! Two weeks from now I go pick up the van… eek. We’re actually hoping to be in Atlanta around 7 or so on Thursday. That’s the earliest we’ve ever gotten there, except for 2005 when we got there Thursday afternoon because we had Phantom of the Opera tickets. Anyway…
