So yes, I'm doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat's room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I'm thinking of taking: Bespin Leia - still need to tweak it Mon Mothma TFA Blue ...
I'm breaking this up into sections so I don't forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I've done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here's Kylo Ren: whatever Here's Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started out with a much different sketch - more of a static, ...
Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con - not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I'm not so sure I like this photo yet I do like the photo. Such a conundrum. This one is ...
We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...
When I'm stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I've been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out... I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it's today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked last night. Holy crap is it heavy. But everything is ...
I haven't posted much lately... haven't had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma's for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I'd do it... I did it)... this time I wasn't messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got at Megacon on, too. Ash and I watched Paolo Garbanzo ...
I've never had free time in August. It's so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better for us so we just grabbed umbrellas and went. I ...
I know I've done similar before... and this won't be just a rehashing of my original "con report." A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, "oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a skirt, so I wore jeans and did nothing with my ...
I've added my 5 new Dragon Con costumes to my portfolio! > And our complete Dragon Con 2015 gallery is here!
Some more of the Leia pictures... There were so many great Star Wars costumes there this year... but it's been so long since I wore a Star Wars costume at a con that even while I was dressed as Leia I'd just walk right past them without thinking about it. Then later I'd be like.... I was dressed as Leia! I walked right by the awesome whatever! I should have ...
