Costumes I Want to Do, part 3
Today is Star Wars costumes I want to do… and I’m going to split this into 2, because I somehow still have a lot of Star Wars costumes I want to do! Viqi Shesh. I just think this is a beautiful oufit. Jarael. Another one that I just love this outfit. I’m considering doing this for Dragoncon. Bastila Shan. I…

today’s art…Aurora
I still don’t feel 100% but it’s back to work today. I’d do just about anything at the moment to just go back to bed. today’s princess is Aurora. I kept trying to draw her in unstructured medieval dresses but it just didn’t look right, so I put her in a Tudor dress 🙂

Costumes I want to do, Part 2
Continuing the posts of pics from my want-to-do folder! DC Comics costumes, including Wonder Woman. Ame-Comi Black Canary. I’m doing this one for Dragoncon this year, too. (edit: again, I must have deleted this photo after I did the costume, so I am substituting a picture of my finished costume 🙂 ) Supergirl. This is the only version of her…

today’s art… Cinderella
It’s a nice day out so Chase and I are about to go bike-riding, so this will be a quick post. We saw Shutter Island last night. Chase got home from shooting the Tiger game and wanted to go, so we went. It was good, I really enjoyed it. Saw the preview for Iron Man 2 on the big screen,…

Costumes I want to do, Part 1
I keep a folder of costumes/characters I like on my computer… anytime I find something I think is neat I save it and keep it in there for inspiration. I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve had in that folder. Part 1 is Marvel superhero costumes. 90s Rogue. I’ve wanted to do this costume for YEARS but have…

Making Ms Marvel! And Snow White art
Costume switchup! I’ve decided I don’t have enough time to dedicate to finishing Batgirl before Anaheim, so I’m going to push her back to summer. I’m going to move my Ms Marvel costume up to do for Anaheim instead. Ms Marvel will be pretty quick on my end… Chase is going to make the mask for me. Anyway, this week’s…

The Lightning Thief
As I posted before, last weekend we went to see The Lightning Thief. Ash loaned me her copy of the first book to read, and I finished it today. I would have ADORED this book as a kid. I would have totally been into it – probably would have been playing “Olympians” with my cousins after school and drawing Percy,…

C4 all over again
We couldn’t go to Celebration 4 because of the wedding – we just couldn’t afford it AND a wedding in the same year. Hearing people talking about it, and people constantly asking if we were going just made me so sad that year, because I really wanted to be there! I was so disappointed we couldn’t go. And now the…

Mermaid art
I stayed home from work today… a migraine’s got me pretty k-oed. I was pretty out of it last night, too. Today is Andrina… I drew a little last night, but mostly I’ve slept, especially today. I think I’m up, now… at 4pm LOL? The migraine is still hanging around in the background, but at the moment I feel ok.

Yellow fabric, and Mermaid art
I got a LOT done on my corset last night – I started cutting and putting the boning in, only to realise I’m not going to have enough. I used up so much of my last batch with Anne Boleyn that it went a lot faster than usual. I went to order more this morning only to find the place…

Watching Mulan, and mermaid art
Today’s princess isn’t Mulan.. but I did watch it last night for the first time in a long time. I bought the dvd on friday and we watched it last night. I forgot how much I liked that movie! Expect another Mulan piece sometime soon. 🙂 I’m not crazy about the first two I’ve done, so I want to try…

Updates and mermaid art
2 apologies, the first for not unlocking yesterday’s picture on flickr. It’s unlocked now. Second, I’m late posting today! We’ve had an accreditation group at my office today so it was busy and crazy. But! Good news. My doctor’s office called and tried to reschedule my thursday appointment for earlier this week, which didn’t work out with the accreditation group…

More House updates
Since we got the wallpaper down last weekend, that meant it was finally time to paint. We finished yesterday. I don’t really have a before of either room – the garage door entrance is where the bug wallpaper used to be. The main entryway was the off-white/gold stripe that I never took a picture of (we got that removed the…

Van Helsing? and Mermaid art
My costume that gets more hits from searches isn’t something like Slave Leia or Wonder Woman… it’s Anna Valerious from Van Helsing, which I don’t understand. Does it have some huge fanbase out there? I get hits for people searching for “anna valerious costumes” or “van helsing costumes” EVERYday. Multiple hits! I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I…

Happy Valentine’s Day! + Mermaid art
Chase is shooting the tennis tournament this morning… tonight we’re staying home instead of going out. We’re going to get the Attack of the Clones rifftrax, and have cheese fondue and just chill 🙂 We already exchanged gifts, on friday… I got him a lamp and he got me a sweet new lapdesk and he sent me flowers at work…

Seize the Clay
Today was Cat’s birthday so we all went to Seize the Clay. It was a lot of fun. The highlight was Cat’s Stank-Eyed Cinderella. (After I took this pic she scraped one of the eyeballs off and redid them to be more even LOL)

Painting the entryway, and Jessica Rabbit art
We’re painting the entry way today. It’s “Teal Zeal” LOL. I’ll post pics when we’re done. today’s princess… was just in a movie WITH Disney characters. but i thought she’d be fun to draw.

Belle wedding dress artwork!
I had something to write about, but now I don’t remember what it was. Kevin stayed over last night because he’s got a hair appointment after mine today. I’m excited to see how his hair turns out. Today’s princess is Belle. I didn’t want to just do a white version of her ballgown as a wedding dress, so I did…

Dog Shampoo, and Silvermist art
I gave Indy a bath on Sunday, and I used a new dog shampoo – a “pretty smell” one, not one of her usual medicinal anti-itch baths like she usually gets, because for once she wasn’t itching, she just stunk. Well the smell of it mixed her smell and now she smells really weird and not all that good. today’s…

today’s art… Meg
I wanted to do another Meg pic, but she doesn’t really have anything else.. so I kinda took some ideas from the muses’ and goddesses’ outfits and cobbled together a wedding dress for her. I had wanted to keep things in themes, like this be “wedding dress week” or whatever, but I already posted some of the wedding dresses. oh…
