I've started having dragoncon dreams - a little later than usual! Two weeks from now I go pick up the van... eek. We're actually hoping to be in Atlanta around 7 or so on Thursday. That's the earliest we've ever gotten there, except for 2005 when we got there Thursday afternoon because we had Phantom of the Opera tickets. Anyway - we figured out the Boushh knees last night, and Chase thinned ...
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven't done anything with them in ages, and I've got so much left to do on everything else, I don't know when I'd have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops, and worked on the Padme cape and my Wonder Woman ...
Got the colouring on the poncho about half done. Got my Boushh pants put together - I just need to put elastic for my foot on the bottom, and do the quilted/pleated/whatever they are sections on the knees (my favourite part of the costume!) But, mostly spent last night sewing on bloodstripes and watching Hot Fuzz. good times.
A new batch of progress pics. Spikes for my Boushh gloves came yesterday... My endor donut (with the unattached bill sitting underneath it), base helmet I need to finish and one of my Boushh boot tops that isn't finished. More Boushh Boushh armour about to be painted. KC WW helmet molds Endor poncho yesterday, drying in the sun before getting another set of colour... and before getting bleached again because ...
well, i can no longer get on the internet at home, something is wrong with my laptop's wireless thingie. I can use dad's computer, though, but I hate being cooped up in the computer room. I suppose it's a blessing - keeps me working. Endor Leia - finished sewing the pleated section on the base helmet - donut is finished, except for adding the bill. Tonight I'm hoping to finish ...
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 weathered and is going back under for more weathering ...
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 this week, basically, where-as usually I have 2 people to help me, but they're both ...
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 journal. First off, I was very bad and actually bought a ...
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 the cuffs added. I want to try to finish it ...
Travel for Dragoncon is finally completely arranged! We've had our room at the marriott for a while; but we rented our van last week. We paid a little extra to be able to pick it up the wednesday before and drop it off tuesday instead of monday. So we don't have the rush trying to check out monday and get back to return the van this year! Josh is not ...
