Queen Aelsa... (not Elsa) Donna Noble, Fires of Pompeii. This needed a photoshoot since I redid the trim and fixed a few problems earlier this year - then I took no photos of it at Dragon Con. Queen Hippolyta, long overdue for a white backdrop shoot Hippolyta could use a big overhaul. Repainting, fixing some broken parts with more than just hot glue, fixing a fit issue on the bodice, ...
My 11th Dragoncon is in the books and it was another great year! So here's my little report/pics/whatever you want to call it. We got into Atlanta Wednesday morning, got checked in and unpacked. Keep reading: (more…)
It's that time of the year! Beginning of this year these were my plans: Enchantress - done! Alternate Wonder Woman - aka Hippolyta - done! Lady Blackhawk - done! Rogue - done! Marie Antoinette - done! Charlotte (Princess & the Frog) - no :( Ms Marvel red suit/Moonstone - done! Disney character - no :( TV character - no :( That's probably the best I've ever done actually doing what I said ...
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, ...
Heres my new Hippolyta crown: My Emma Frost cape: (the rest of it was packed and I didn't want to dig it out) Finishing up a few last things tonight. I'm hoping to have nothing to work on tomorrow but finishing my packing, and the last of this embroidery.
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 ...
Here's a few pics I took of stuff I was working on fri-sat. Trying on Lady Blackhawk. My hat is huge! LOL. I will always have that problem because I have a tiny head. Hippolyta embroidery. It's not perfect, but it's going to show up a LOT better than the original drawn on lines. It's a pain and taking longer than I expected, because I'm having to go through the ...
Here's some pics I found from friends from this past weekend. (pic by Glenn) my hair looked great friday. too bad it didn't stay that way. I was really surprised by how many people knew who I was supposed to be - better than at Anaheim or Dragoncon, even. (At dcon people kept asking if I was a steampunk person.) (pics by Lin and Glenn) various Hippolyta pics. (pic by ...
I've finished my Queen Hippolyta costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Only got 3 pics of Hippolyta at the con and I look dead on my feet in everyone of them LOL But anyway - I'm really surprised it came together as well as it did, considering Chase didn't finish the tiara, shoulder pieces, gauntlets and chestpiece until the night before, and we had to figure out the attachments in the hotel room. Was really happy with my wig. The main issue ...
