Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn't, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff - to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the wedding and our move after everything kinda got settled I tried ...
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour's worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn't care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I'd tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it's not too cold out. 2. Black Canary This costume was SO freaking comfortable! I really fell ...
Hey guys... sorry I haven't posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I've been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though - had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I'll break up my posts by days... there's a lot of stuff to go through. Our ...
I've finished my Giselle costume and added it to my portfolio!
Ok, here's the rest of the adcon pics! Friday was a looooooooong drive. Even though we left earlier than we planned, it stormed really hard during the drive, and then we were stuck in standstill traffic for at least an hour about halfway there. We finally got there around 8 that night, got checked and our stuff up to the room, and got some late dinner and crashed. Saturday the convention ...
Poison Ivy is finished! Yay! I went ahead and packed it up last night. My Giselle wig is finished - the zipper is in, top is finished, and it's hemmed. I need to attach the white shoulder piece, the ribbon and the straps, and it's done. I'm also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman. I don't know if I feel like taking regular Wonder Woman now, after wearing it yesterday. I ...
The sewing machine is still at my parent's house, so last night I went home and sewed the pieces of Giselle together. I ironed it and tried it on - it's much too big and doesn't fit through the chest and waist, so I'll be taking it up this weekend. Also need to put the zipper in, and hem the whole thing, obviously. I brought it home and stuck it ...
I got my Poison Ivy boots basically finished, I just need to glue down a few spots, and add leaves. Also made my gloves - just need to add leaves to those, too. Fix that one spot on the briefs, and she's done. I got my Giselle pieces cut out -- I left all the pieces at home with the sewing machine (I'm not bringing the machine to the new ...
Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven't really done anything on Poison Ivy - but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and find something to cover the boots with. eta: he's also ...
