HI! I'm home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let's backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless! Somehow! Well, except for my GPS trying to take us to ...
Queen Aelsa... (not Elsa) Donna Noble, Fires of Pompeii. This needed a photoshoot since I redid the trim and fixed a few problems earlier this year - then I took no photos of it at Dragon Con. Queen Hippolyta, long overdue for a white backdrop shoot Hippolyta could use a big overhaul. Repainting, fixing some broken parts with more than just hot glue, fixing a fit issue on the bodice, ...
It's that time of year!! Time to look back at what I accomplished and what I... didn't accomplish. So last year, I said I was going to make... 1. Willow – Buffy the Vampire Slayer Nope. Even though this would have been easy I just never got to it. 2. Johanna’s Interview Dress – Catching Fire I DID THIS ONE! OMG. 3. She-Ra No :( 4. Donna Noble – Partners in Crime Well, I kinda did this. ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
I've finished my Donna Noble (Fires of Pompeii) costume and have added it to my portfolio!
It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up. It really needs some tweaks before I wear it again - I was really unhappy with the way the trim was laying especially on the bustline, so I want to switch out for something not so bulky that will lay flat. It was also causing the back to hang funny. Also needs rehemmed - it was too long ...
Can it just be time for Dragoncon yet? Tuesday night I got nothing done. Headache was so bad I just laid on the couch and slept until I got up and went to bed. Last night back on the horse, dyed my Donna wig slightly darker, worked on Johanna. Got the top section totally finished - yay! So now I can start on the bottom section. I didn't take any ...
Went to Mema's. Slept, ate, did a fat lot of nothing mostly. And this 2 weeks before dragoncon! But we came home early yesterday (with a sick puppy in tow. I think she over-indulged this weekend and made herself sick. she's still not feeling well.) and I dug in. I mostly finished Fires of Pompeii Donna. It took approximately 2 and 1/4 MST3K episodes. I need to go back and reinforce the ...
