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 ...

Post-Dragoncon 05 again

First and foremost I wanted to write about Stitch. Since I didn't get to write about him at all while making him, since Ash wanted him kept secret. This project has been on my mind since April, when we first came up with the skit idea while swimming at C3. I started out by finding a front shot of his face, blowing it up to the size I wanted, printing ...

Dragoncon 2005 pics!

4th Year at Dragoncon! So! Thursday morning I got up and went over to Ash's where my mum picked us up and took us to the airport. Ash and I sat around for a while after checking in. Anyway, Cat and Melissa met us there and... um, do any of you guys remember being in the airport after security? Cause I sure don't. Then the plane ride was like, the ...

Disney Princess Costumes FINISHED

All the princesses are done :) Cinderella looks a bit dumpy in that picture because it doesn't fit my dressform - the yellow tint of the ceiling light looks pretty icky on it, too. Snow White's collar isn't perfect, but it'll do. All is done on Ash's costume except putting the zipper in - that'll be the only thing that has to be done tomorrow. Oh, and I have one little ...

Cinderella progress pic

Cinderella: Anyway, the corset wasn't finished when I took this tonight (it is now). The only thing left to do is fix the hem (it was screwy first time around) and add the silver parts to the shoulders (where those straps are hanging down, that's what they'll be attached to), and the parts to the hips, and her neckband - so I'll have her finished tomorrow.

Two more weeks… Cinderella and Stitch updates

Due to the internet being down today, plus actually feeling pretty well for the first time in a few days, I managed to get a bit done today. On Ash's costume, I got quite a bit done. I redid one part of it to look much better, and finished one of the major pieces. I had been putting that particular part off for a while, but Rushmore was on, so ...

Snow White and Cinderella Progress Pics

Haven't gotten much done the past couple of days. Right now, I've got the dressform w/Belle on it sitting in the living room and the puppy is running like a crazy person in circles around it. Hee. I've packed a bit the past few days, finally got stuff out from San Diego and moved it to new boxes, haha. Mostly doing old repair work today. Yesterday all the girls ...

Belle progress…

Hee!! I'll be finished with Belle tomorrow. I finished the bodice today, all hemmed, got the grommets in, and all. I've still got to do the shoulder pieces and put the jewels on but neither should take long. Yay :D Also made more good progress with Ash's costume, I'm very pleased with how it's coming out. Those two things are good news because I've been in such a terrible mood ...
