Black Canary preview

not-so-great pic of my nearly finished black canary. I've got to finish the yellow straps, and sew the ring onto the zipper, and it's done.

Green Arrow progress pics

Originally we were trying to think of characters with facial hair that Chase could do - we came up with Green Arrow, but we weren't too keen on the traditional look. So we decided to come up with our own modernized Green Arrow look for him. The hat is pretty much the only part of this that's staying as-is. He bought that online somewhere. The tunic is the mock-up - ...

I managed to do everything on today's to-do list, so I'm happy! 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. ...

Zatanna updates

My Zatanna jacket came! OMG I love it! I'm not going to have to do much to it at all - I'm going to take up the side seams at the waist, and I miiiiight take it up at the shoulders, but otherwise it's great. Tonight it's all working on Chase's clone, to try to get it ready for later tonight - we'll be heading to TRU around 10:30. I'm excited... ...

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 ...

argh… wig problems

I've been having the WORST luck on ebay. First the wrong boots thing - which ended up OK - but now the wig I bought for Zatanna has arrived and it's SHORT. Like it barely touches the top of my shoulders. I'm pissed, it was an expensive wig... I can't tell whether or not it's a different wig that's in the pictures. If you had it on a tiny wig ...

Starfire and Zatanna updates

I worked on my Starfire wig, but mostly I worked on my Zatanna vest. I had a vest that came with a pair of pants from several years ago - I think I wore the vest once and decided I looked like a waitress LOL but I found it when unpacking so I thought it would make a cute vest for Zatanna. I had to take it up a lot, ...

I got the fabric for my WW bodice. I LOVE it. Very ...
