Mando, Belle updates

Today was really busy. We made good progress on Chase's costume. It's almost there. The mando is almost done, too. After the weathering on the shirt and vest dry I can finish it tomorrow. Blue Belle just needs one or two more things. Yellow Belle needs her roses sewn on. My secret costume needs the belt finished and the wig styled. I'm wishing now I could off work thursday, so ...

Wonder Woman delay, Mando updates

A bit of bad news - though sort of good news for me, as I was really worried about it - Wonder Woman will not be ready for Dragoncon. I had originally not intended her for Dragoncon anyway - but Chase thought we could get it finished so we tried. But now it's come down to the final hour... and while we both think we COULD get it done, we ...

Weathering Corde

Weathering the handmaiden robe! This is tough. It was hard to cover up all that stamping work. Used a combo of dye and paint.

Handmaiden Corde, done!

I finished the handmaiden this morning!! :D Well, almost, I've got to hem the sleeves of the underdress but that's it. I'm so excited I got one completely finished. I do still have to weather it but technically it's done, I could wear it today if I needed to :) Tonight I'll finish blue Belle and the upgrades to yellow belle, and work on the mando. Mum has tomorrow off, so ...

Mando updates, and SDCC pics

When you starting dreaming about your costume to-do lists.... well, it's just plain silly. Yesterday I focused on stamping and almooooost got the thing done. Chase still won't let me show the secret. But here's a few other pics I took over the weekend. Stitch's nose fell off after the Big Scoop. It was inevitable, it had just barely been hanging on for a while. Easily fixable. My main point ...

Boots are painted. Armor is finished and needs ...

Sequins

I'm in desperate need of 8mm clear round sequins. Does anyone know of an online store that carries them?? I can't find anywhere except on ebay, and places that have a minimum $25 order (which i do NOT need $25 worth of sequins!) I've got one more place locally to check but they're not open on sundays...if they dont have it I'm going to have to order online and hope they ...

Still got beading to do and need to figure out the underdress... i might just wear my old ...
