A new batch of progress pics. Spikes for my Boushh gloves came yesterday... My endor donut (with the unattached bill sitting underneath it), base helmet I need to finish and one of my Boushh boot tops that isn't finished. More Boushh Boushh armour about to be painted. KC WW helmet molds Endor poncho yesterday, drying in the sun before getting another set of colour... and before getting bleached again because ...
well, i can no longer get on the internet at home, something is wrong with my laptop's wireless thingie. I can use dad's computer, though, but I hate being cooped up in the computer room. I suppose it's a blessing - keeps me working. Endor Leia - finished sewing the pleated section on the base helmet - donut is finished, except for adding the bill. Tonight I'm hoping to finish ...
Chase clear-coating the Wonder Woman helmet sculpt again before it gets cast. My endor trooper Leia helmet donut as it was yesterday evening - since then it's been weathered and the red/yellow symbol added. Still needs a bit more weathering, but I'm very pleased. Boushh helmet getting its first shot of paint. Like the endor donut, this has since been weathered and is going back under for more weathering ...
I got off work early today... so I came home, ate some lunch, and actually got some work done. I went outside and played with the dye... another layer of dye on my endor poncho, and navy on the funeral cape. If they both stay as they are, I'll be happy. I think the poncho will be fine - but I think the cape will dry lighter than I want, ...
Well, I wrote out my packing list last night. And right now I'm apparently trying to take 18 costumes to Dragoncon. So, it's gotta be cut somewhere. At least by 3. I'm ok taking 15, but not 18! Anyway - I haven't done much lately. Work has been absolutely exhausting this week (I've been the only one in the back this week, basically, where-as usually I have 2 people to help me, but they're both ...
Been busy with Harry Potter stuff -- no pics from the bookstore party, since I forgot to get my camera out of the car. I wore Hermione and burnt up, since we ended up standing outside in line most of the night. There weren't many interesting costumes, either -- we had a really good Snape there, an Umbridge, and... a really terrible Darth Vader. Go figure. I wore the whole ...
Yep, despite having doused myself with Off last night, I still got about 9 bites while outside dyeing my Endor poncho yesterday evening. I have decided to make a little experiment of them, and trying various home remedies... so far using deodorant seems to be the best. Well enough about that, this is my costume journal not my mosquito bite journal. First off, I was very bad and actually bought a ...
