Dragoncon 2006 Sunday pics!

Back to our regularly scheduled Dragoncon pics! Got to sleep in a little bit Sunday morning. We got up and I put on Rogue for the X-Men photoshoot, and Chase stayed in normal clothes to play photographer. I was absolutely stunned by how many people showed up for the X-Men photoshoot! Me and Kitty! This is just part of the group! Rogues! Then we went over for the cosplay.com ...

Progress updates

It's so strange being able to pack my costumes - and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I've driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I've not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It's an odd experience, but a good one. Chase's costume is almoooooost there. Just a few more things. I just finished my ...

Mando, Belle updates

Today was really busy. We made good progress on Chase's costume. It's almost there. The mando is almost done, too. After the weathering on the shirt and vest dry I can finish it tomorrow. Blue Belle just needs one or two more things. Yellow Belle needs her roses sewn on. My secret costume needs the belt finished and the wig styled. I'm wishing now I could off work thursday, so ...

Handmaiden Corde, done!

I finished the handmaiden this morning!! :D Well, almost, I've got to hem the sleeves of the underdress but that's it. I'm so excited I got one completely finished. I do still have to weather it but technically it's done, I could wear it today if I needed to :) Tonight I'll finish blue Belle and the upgrades to yellow belle, and work on the mando. Mum has tomorrow off, so ...

Boots are painted. Armor is finished and needs ...

Sequins

I'm in desperate need of 8mm clear round sequins. Does anyone know of an online store that carries them?? I can't find anywhere except on ebay, and places that have a minimum $25 order (which i do NOT need $25 worth of sequins!) I've got one more place locally to check but they're not open on sundays...if they dont have it I'm going to have to order online and hope they ...

I meant to put this in the last post and went back to edit, but then I figured, eh, let's put it in a new post. Dragoncon put their official pictures up... here's my favourites of the ones I found of us. This little girl in the pink princess dress hung around us a lot backstage (you can see her in our own picture). I remembered a photographer taking pics ...

2005 Year in Review!

I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I'd do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I'm still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
