Belle wig progress

Took a shot of the wig restyled into the ponytail. Excuse my wighead's own hair sticking out from underneath it, LOL

Typical. + Belle progress

It's not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I'm not selling my Hoth Leia ;) You know it's funny - there are a few costumes I've thought about selling in the past. I'm not going to, but I'm not going to say the thought hasn't crossed my mind. BUT - the ones I've thought of selling are the only ones nobody ever seems to ask ...

Horrorfest plans

Nashville Comic/Horrorfest is ON :) I think I may take regular Leia or Animated Leia -- blue Belle if I finish it in time -- yellow Belle for the zoo Sat night, and Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for a photoshoot on Sunday. I got the parts of my blue Belle dress cut out and sewn together. I decided to cut it out as a medium instead of a small, so ...

Halloween and Belle updates

I'm hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I'd like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do -- and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work room I'd just like to have something to leisurely sew ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mum has tomorrow off, so ...
