KC WW, Endor Leia, Boushh, and Marasiah Progress
Chase clear-coating the Wonder Woman helmet sculpt again before it gets cast. My endor trooper Leia helmet donut as it was yesterday evening – since then it’s been weathered and the red/yellow symbol added. Still needs a bit more weathering, but I’m very pleased. Boushh helmet getting its first shot of paint. Like the endor donut, this has since been…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Helmet progress
Here’s a few more pics of the WW helmet in progress, plus a pic of our workroom I left out. Chase started the sculpt over a year ago – we were hoping to finish it for Dragoncon 2006. Around this time last year we realised there was no way we were going to get it done, so it sat around…

Big Scoop Troop Pics!
Big Scoop pics are up in my 2007 Trooping Gallery. I was so worn out after it, to the point we didn’t even get to go see the Simpsons movie last night like we had planned. š Here’s one pic of Chase.

Funeral Padme updates
I got off work early today… so I came home, ate some lunch, and actually got some work done. I went outside and played with the dye… another layer of dye on my endor poncho, and navy on the funeral cape. If they both stay as they are, I’ll be happy. I think the poncho will be fine – but…

Progress & Schedules
Well, I wrote out my packing list last night. And right now I’m apparently trying to take 18 costumes to Dragoncon. So, it’s gotta be cut somewhere. At least by 3. I’m ok taking 15, but not 18! Anyway – I haven’t done much lately. Work has been absolutely exhausting this week (I’ve been the only one in the back…

HP Book Release, KC WW Helmet!
Been busy with Harry Potter stuff — no pics from the bookstore party, since I forgot to get my camera out of the car. I wore Hermione and burnt up, since we ended up standing outside in line most of the night. There weren’t many interesting costumes, either — we had a really good Snape there, an Umbridge, and… a…

Oh, and MY RING!
More importantly than Harry Potter, at least in my book — my engagement ring came back from being sized three days early! We ended up being late to Melissa & Josh’s friday night because we just had to go get it. i’ll try to take pics pretty soon. i love it so much, it was nice to be able to…

SURPRISE! Marion Ravenwood
We went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Orpheum recently, and I (in the middle of all my other projects) for some reason decided to put together a Marion Ravenwood costume. I drew up the shirt designs in photoshop and heat-transferred them onto the shirt. The shirt I made using leftover fabric and a pattern. Bought the…

We have our ceremony & reception site paid for (in the beautiful Iris Garden at the Memphis Botanic Gardens – reception just a…

another weekend, another set of mosquito bites
Yep, despite having doused myself with Off last night, I still got about 9 bites while outside dyeing my Endor poncho yesterday evening. I have decided to make a little experiment of them, and trying various home remedies… so far using deodorant seems to be the best. Well enough about that, this is my costume journal not my mosquito bite…

Updates & Ewok Village Leia Pics!
I’ve been pretty well KO’ed by sinus mess for a week and a half or so now… sucks! I think it’s behind me now, though. Here’s a few quick updates… Doll Leia – got the bottom and top made, the top needs to be fixed (one side hangs funny, need to pick it out and do it again), and needs…

when the day was crazy
Yesterday was madness. First off, I was trying to get to work by no later than 9:30 (I usually get there at 10). Went out to my car, and it wouldn’t start. Luckily mum is on summer break, so she was home. I woke her up and she came out and tried to jump my car. Didn’t work. We kept…

we met with him yesterday, liked him and his style, great price, and we get ownership of the images (so we don’t have to pay him everytime we want a print, we own the full size digital photos) Chase is dropping off the contract & deposit today š

when i couldn’t sleep so i did a budget
It’s 4am and I can’t sleep…I don’t know how long I’ve been awake for, I think since around 2. For some reason I’m kinda hungry, though I have no reason to be. My mind just won’t stop thinking! I keep thinking about everything we still need to book and pay for for the wedding. It’s got me really worried tonight.…

The Boushh box came!
I’ve been out of town since thursday, and came home today to find my box had arrived! Oooh, the excitement! The fellow who owned it before (who was working on it for his wife, and then they apparently decided not to finish it, and sold me everything they had for it) has already done some work, but it’s still got…

getting lost, part two
Dropped Chase off at the airport. Turns out they’re doing a lot of construction around the airport, causing confusion on my part. I took what I thought to be my turn out of the airport and back to the interstate, but instead ended up completely lost. I drove for a few minutes, trying to get my bearings to see if…

To Open the toys or Not To Open the toys
You guys know I don’t care anything about keeping the toys and collectables I buy in their packaging, right? I love ripping open a new toy, and then setting up the figures in a silly way. I’ve have a handful of things over the years that I decided to leave in their packaging – mostly, the big LOTR action figure…
