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 ...
Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor... Kevin really was out of his element in this costume - the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it - but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I think I may need to go a little shorter on ...
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let's look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it was going to be too much work the way I was wanting ...
Here's so more dragoncon pics I've collected from others :) Supergirl, from Icosplay.com With my glowing Kryptonite glass LOL Donna, from Lofidelity Here's a great handful of He-Man/She-Ra group pics from Steve McManus: I love this pic of my Belle from Lionboogy: And this one of me and Chase from Star Wars Fever: And the Doctor, Romana and K9, from Sam W Honda: I'd post more but I think ...
I've finished my Glimmer costume and have added it to my portfolio! Glimmer is the main costume I was keeping secret -- I got to be part of a big He-Man/She-Ra group at Dragoncon, and I picked Glimmer, and Chase was Bow. We wanted to make the costumes have a more realistic bent, which for me was difficult with a bright pink and purple and blue character LOL I ...
Well I've been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven't posted a thing here - sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I was so bummed on Monday because I didn't want it ...
We worked on costumes for the past 2 1/2 days and I only have two photos to show today. First, I finished my Fionna sword! Whee! And here's the staff for my last costume. I took pictures of some other things but the paint needed touching up very badly so I didn't post them. Another thing to add to the to-do list tonight (sigh!) Tonight, I've still got to: -finish attaching boot ...
Worked on some different stuff last night. I finally finished my Romana I brooch and got it attached! About time, I think I've been done with everything else on it for a few weeks now. Overall really happy with it. Although could I have taken a worse picture? Why didn't I at least stick it on the dress form that was sitting 2 feet away? What an awful picture. Oh well. ...
I just cleaned the house and burned mashed potatoes and beaded my skirt some last night, so I don't really have much to post today. Chase did work on my belt a bit. I looove how it looks. Tonight I've got to get some actual sewing done. My to-do list for tonight: -Finish re-inforcing Romana cape feathers -Finish Chase's shirt -paint and finish Romana buckles
Well yesterday, I packed some more... We played with worbla... I helped Chase with a wig, and I got my skirt put together And then I decided I hadn't done enough beading on Saturday so I started beading the skirt And Chase has the power I also painted some gauntlets. My hands are covered in purple and brown paint, and a Mickey Mouse bandaid from where the wrong end of ...
