Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap

First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night - there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it was really fun. Friday morning I got to wear Marie Antoinette, ...

Enchantress and Hippolyta Updates

Here are the updates I did to Enchantress & Hippolyta. Enchantress: New crown - taller, slightly different shape, should hopefully be easier to put on than the old one. New wig - at least, the one that I was supposed to wear at ECCC and couldn't get it on with the crown. Works now. Updated Bodice - added some more detail, and a busk in the front like I originally ...

Chase sculpted the chest armor, shoulder pieces ...

Enchantress mask

costume updates: last night I put the straps on the bodice. I wasn't going to, but the cotton base of the whole thing ripped a bit at one of the grommets. I didn't use my usual cotton, it was a much thinner cotton, and I think that was the problem. I reinforced it, but to keep from having to put so much strain on them, I added the straps. If ...

Enchantress pants!!

love was such an easy game to play! for real I did nothing interesting yesterday. Chase was gone shooting the tennis tournament nearly all day. I did laundry all day (managed to do all of it!!) and sewed. Worked on my puzzle. My parents and Ash and her parents came over to watch the Tiger game which SUCKED. Not that they came over, that was nice, but the game sucked. ...
