Orko Tutorial
Orko is one of my favourite things I’ve made over the years so I’m happy to do this little write up for mermush on twitter. It’s been a while since I made him so I’m sorry if I forget anything/something doesn’t make sense! Everything I used: a small teddy bear a small bouncy ball for the head Doll’s straw hat…

More DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
I went over the decorative stitching again last night and it’s much more visible now. The flash still blows it out, so it’s hard to take a picture of like this. I sewed my bra cups into the base also: Another shot of the outer piece: I’m really not happy with the fabric I got for the outside anymore, even…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
Last night I put the main bodice together and did the decorative stitching on it. Heres my guidelines drawn on the wrong side: Here’s the 3 layers pinned together, with the stitching done: But it’s a little hard to see. I’m going to go back over the lines again tonight and see if that helps. Heres a closeup of the…

Making my DCNU Wonder Woman Costume
I started on my GMX costume, DCnU Wonder Woman, this weekend. Here’s my fabric: Red canvas & cotton for the interior of the bodice, red matte satin for the outside. Navy blue spandex for the bottoms. I also bought a pair of navy blue leggings to do the pants version also – I don’t know if I’ll have time to…

Woke up that morning to Chase having decorated the living room, and with my presents on the coffee table…. He got me an Adipose, which was like the one thing I asked for, Disney Beauty &…

New Photos: Donna, Emma, Jane, etc
I’m sorry I still haven’t finished the site! It took longer than I expected to move my content over (which is done!), so I still have finished it, looks-wise. I do have some updates – all of my Dragoncon costumes are up of course, and I have new photos for Jane, Mara Jade as Arica, Donna Noble, Ms Marvel, Lady…

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…

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…
