Photoshoot: Anne Boleyn, Wonder Woman, etc
I’m a pic posting machine! That’s the last of them, though. Four sets of photos is a lot to upload when the uploader on flickr doesn’t work right for me! I’ve still got Huntsville pics and our cruise pics to upload soon. I’m not going to rush, though – I’ve got a lot of sewing to do. Which brings me…

Then and Now: Wonder Woman
Got my Selene and Wonder Woman photoshoot pics uploaded to smugmug tonight. Just got Anne Boleyn left to upload. A comparison… The difference between 2007 and 2009… 2007 was a store bought corset with metal chestpiece, vs 2009 hand-made bodice with chestpiece sculpted off my bodycast. I’m not hating on my older version at all, I was going for two…

we’re home!
Had a nice do-nothing weekend on our cruise 🙂 Here’s a quick recap. We got into New Orleans around 10 and was on the boat within an hour. We couldn’t get to our room until 1:30 but we were able to eat lunch in the meantime. We got into our room and it was really nice, much bigger than last…

Funeral Padme Photoshoot

WSMI Huntsville 2010 Recap
It’s been over a week since I last posted!! Been busy. Working on getting stuff ready for Huntsville this past weekend! Huntsville was half awesome and half sucky. The sucky: My mom fell in the driveway before we left and sprained her wrist, my dad got some kind of bug bite on his arm that got continually worse throughout the…

happy father’s day!
Haven’t gotten to see my dad today – going out for dinner tonight. 🙂 Yesterday I spent the first part of the day taking apart my ceremonial Leia costume so I could remake the sleeves and line the top. I’ve been wanting to do that since I first finished it in 2007! I had some chiffon hanging around that was…

i need some incentive.
Someone sent me this a while back and I never got a chance to look at it til today – random forum where some of my costumes were posted and I had to share one of the replies: “I wonder if she was auditioning for a series, or trying for an acting job and has downloaded her portfolio? Otherwise that…

costume catch up
So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…

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…

Dcon 2010 Costume Schedule
I changed up my list a little bit… here’s the updated list… You know I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on when people do “secret” costumes. Some people don’t like it, some do, etc. I think some people view it as a a “na na I don’t want anyone copying me” thing. Which for me, it’s not.…

365 Project – 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…

365 Project – 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…

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”……

365 Project – 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.

365 Project – Padme Family Gown + Gaga Progress
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…

365 Project – Padme Travel Gown
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,…

365 Project – Padme Cut Senate + More Redbirds Pics
today’s princess is… Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase’s pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here’s my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase’s… We just look like we’re having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field…. I just…

the past two days have been weird.
Sorry guys, no art post today. Haven’t had time! But I would like to post about yesterday and today. They’ve been interesting. I’m going to cut it up into segments. 1. So yesterday morning, Nana tells me they found a snake in the garage. She touched it, thinking it was a bungee cord, before she realised it was a giant…

eyelashes are not bugs
today we have Padme… So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I…
