Only a month late :) I posted our pics from the opening weekend of the Huntsville Star Wars WSMI exhibit last night. From that I was able to get a few new pics of my ceremonial dress: It's still not the way I want it; maybe one day eventually they'll be a version 3, who knows. Anyway, my Donna Troy boots should be here today. I think I'll crack down and finish ...
It's been over a week since I last posted!! Been busy. Working on getting stuff ready for Huntsville this past weekend! Huntsville was half awesome and half sucky. The sucky: My mom fell in the driveway before we left and sprained her wrist, my dad got some kind of bug bite on his arm that got continually worse throughout the weekend, between my Parade Amidala and Leia ceremonial shoes I ...
Haven't gotten to see my dad today - going out for dinner tonight. :) Yesterday I spent the first part of the day taking apart my ceremonial Leia costume so I could remake the sleeves and line the top. I've been wanting to do that since I first finished it in 2007! I had some chiffon hanging around that was too bright white for my current projects, but it was just enough ...
Secret project is FINISHED! I'll try to post pics tomorrow before we leave. I took these pics a while back, when I bought a new backdrop - I want to try to put together a nice book of some of my costumes, eventually. (Sort-of, to use a portfolio - I've got a nice setup for my artwork, but nothing for my costume-stuff) I finally thought to upload them... This is ...
Well since I'm mostly done for the year - outside of my little secret project - I'm gonna go ahead and post this. I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
Chase & I were out and about today, and picked up a copy of The Making of Star Wars. We wanted it anyway, but after hearing there was a pic of Carrie Fisher in the ceremonial dress that I'd never seen before, I really wanted it! Yeah, after seeing that, I REALLLLLY am itching to fix mine!! I'm going to find new sleeve fabric, go ahead and order my new ...
I've finished my ceremonial Leia costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning - it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn't wear the wig while I was driving, though, LOL) Friday I discovered that Death of Rats ...
My day of working at home has turned into "Day of Looking for Stuff." First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven't worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be - the other was hiding. One of the laces is missing from the corset - no clue where ...
The dress 90% finished on the dressform. It still needs to be hemmed along the bottom, and the belt is my regular ANH belt - still working on the new belt.
