Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day... I just wore Chase's Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I'd wear my DCNU Wonder Woman to hand out candy. It needed some repairs, so I ...
I've posted new photos of several costumes! One of them is not really a "new" costume - but it's one I never wore and never had photos of until now! And as a bonus, here's a behind-the-scenes video of how we do a white backdrop photoshoot!
It's that time of the year! Beginning of this year these were my plans: Enchantress - done! Alternate Wonder Woman - aka Hippolyta - done! Lady Blackhawk - done! Rogue - done! Marie Antoinette - done! Charlotte (Princess & the Frog) - no :( Ms Marvel red suit/Moonstone - done! Disney character - no :( TV character - no :( That's probably the best I've ever done actually doing what I said ...
I updated my dcnu Wonder Woman page with a shot of the bodice detail, since it's hardly visible in full length photos. In other news, working a new puzzle. starting painting again tonight. the fun never stops!
I've finished my DCNU Wonder Woman costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Leaving for GMX tonight, so last WW update! Chase finished my Wonder Woman chestpiece and tiara, and he's finishing the belt today. Here they are yesterday afternoon: Finished up Ash's Ood jacket but really not happy with it; definitely remaking it before Dcon next year. So, since 4 people and K-9 take up quite a bit of space, I'm only taking 3 costumes - WW, Donna and Rose Tyler. Ash is bringing ...
I'm sad and tired and don't know what else to do but keep myself busy with everything else. So.. I'm one of the finalists in the BBC America costume contest... there are a lot of really great entries, I'm really stoked to be among them. If you want to vote, click the link :) Here's some of the pics we took the other day. And some progress... Making my boot covers ...
done! (almost) Bodice is done except for a few little places I need to clean up. Now onto finishing the bottoms and boots, and finishing Ashley's Ood jacket. Yesterday we finished shopping for my cousin's budget 11th Doctor costume. Found a Stetson pretty cheap, and a decent "look a like" pair of boots which we're going to polish to be a little darker. He's not wearing the blue suspenders in ...
I was home along last night since Chase was shooting, so I remade the outside layer of my bodice. (pluuss I got the fabric for $5 and it's what I wanted originally, the same as I used for my 2009 Wonder Woman, couldn't find it first time I went shopping for this.) So anyway, I got it cut out thursday night and sewn together last night, got the stitching done and started ...
I went over the decorative stitching again last night and it's much more visible now. The flash still blows it out, so it's hard to take a picture of like this. I sewed my bra cups into the base also: Another shot of the outer piece: I'm really not happy with the fabric I got for the outside anymore, even using the wrong side it's too shiny. I don't really ...
