Frustration, and Starfire progress

So the situation I talked about last time has at least come to some kind of resolution. The guy said yesterday that he was pulling my pieces that night, and that he would send it out today. I sent him a fedex slip for sat. delivery, so if it doesn't show up tomorrow that's our clue to start working on my backup. Chase's isn't going to be done at all. ...

various costume updates

I haven't posted in a few days, let me try to get caught up with where I'm at on stuff. Starfire - Chase got the chestpiece cut down, it looks so much better. Today we'll be airbrushing the suit, and once that's done I can finish hemming it. My new boots should be arriving tomorrow, and once they come I'll whip up new boot covers (won't be hard, I can ...

Starfire, Glinda, Ame-Comi WW Pics

I took a few pics of things before I went to work this morning. My Starfire suit, just pinned on the dressform since I can't put it on there. Doesn't look that great pinned on, oh well, you get the idea anyway. The only part on this piece that's not finished is the front section - that will be attached to my undersuit, so I'm waiting to finish that part ...

Green Arrow, Starfire updates

I remade my starfire suit today, and got it mostly finished. I think I want to take up the side sections a little more, though - will do that, tomorrow. fixed up my gloves and wig for the new "special" belle, and I finished the bodice for it, yesterday. It's basically done - I need to practice getting it on. I may tweak the gloves once more but that's it. ...

gah…various costume progress

I didn't do ANYTHING last night - I poked around my WW bodice and the Starfire suit, but didn't really DO anything. Watched Project Runway and got over my headache. I should be getting an integral part of Starfire - hopefully Saturday, if not, then on Monday. And then major parts of my WW costume middle of next week. Having those things will help things fall into place. Tonight it's ...

Green Arrow progress

Last night, I had a headache, so I didn't get much done. I got the collar for the GA tunic finished and sewn in, and I took up the Starfire purple suit and started hemming it, but stopped when I realised it's still not fitting right around my hips. I'm going to take it to my parents' house tonight and get her to pin it for me again, while I've ...

The other night I finished my Starfire wig and got my WW wig halfway done.. last night I did nothing except watch project runway LOL Tonight, I dyed my starfire bodysuit. I think I got it pretty close - tomorrow once it's completely dry i'm going to try it on with the face makeup again to double check. ...

Starfire and Ame-Comi WW Progress pics

Chase brought up two things out of the shop that he's working on -- First up, my Starfire gauntlets. He's downstairs cutting the excess off of them right now. I won't be able to bend my hand outward at the wrist, but I can deal with that. Wonder Woman shins - This will probably give away which version I'm doing - you can see where he's drawn guidelines on these. ...

Starfire updates and stuff

I finally tried on the wig last night - and lo and behold, I'd managed to make it TOO big. LOL, and here I was worried about that! It wasn't a hard fixed - all I had to do was remove the padding I'd added in the wig cap, and it got it back down to about where I wanted it anyway. I've still got more curling to do, maybe ...

Lots of updates

Got the bodice of the new WW basically put together yesterday. I've got to figure out where my boning is so I can hopefully get it finished by this weekend. Starfire wig is coming along. I got one Starfire boot almost finished. I need to do a little more fitting around the upper portion, and hem the top edge. The other boot pieces are cut out, need to get it ...
