Well, actually I'll start on Thursday :) Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to actually be there Thursday morning but was unable to make it, ...
Boushh: Weathering regular Wonder Woman: Belt still needs cut down Marasiah: Make tie piece, attach Make tiara Endor Leia: Finish holster & pouch
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it's got dogs. I guess that's what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren't they cute together? Man I love that mask. YUM! Chase says, put the camera down. So Saturday came ...
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today -- get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for the chest, figure out how to attach the cape, and ...
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It's a little on the light side, I may dye it again -- AFTER Dcon. I'm tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight, more Boushh knees, Wonder Woman stuff, and Marasiah stuff. One ...
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn't get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara - I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still need him to finish my other metal pieces and buff ...
I finished the designs on marasiah, yesterday, and also got my boots attached. Most of yesterday was spent on my endor poncho. I had to remake it - I'll explain why, later. It didn't take long - probably two hours, and I fixed some of the problems with the first one. Last night we ended up mostly doing nothing -- I read a lot, we went to the grocery store, ...
I actually got quite a bit done last night! Doll Leia is done, except for the belt, which will take all of 10 minutes to do, and putting a fastener on the collar. It cracks me up, I don't think I've ever made anything so dumb looking LOL. Finished my endor helmet - added the bill. Fixed my rebel Leia shirt. Boushh tunic is completely done, and we boiled the knees ...
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven't done anything with them in ages, and I've got so much left to do on everything else, I don't know when I'd have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops, and worked on the Padme cape and my Wonder Woman ...
Got the colouring on the poncho about half done. Got my Boushh pants put together - I just need to put elastic for my foot on the bottom, and do the quilted/pleated/whatever they are sections on the knees (my favourite part of the costume!) But, mostly spent last night sewing on bloodstripes and watching Hot Fuzz. good times.
