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 ...
Here's a few more pics of the WW helmet in progress, plus a pic of our workroom I left out. Chase started the sculpt over a year ago - we were hoping to finish it for Dragoncon 2006. Around this time last year we realised there was no way we were going to get it done, so it sat around half-finished for the next several months (including enduring Chase's move from ...
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 ...
I've been pretty well KO'ed by sinus mess for a week and a half or so now... sucks! I think it's behind me now, though. Here's a few quick updates... Doll Leia - got the bottom and top made, the top needs to be fixed (one side hangs funny, need to pick it out and do it again), and needs the cuffs added. I want to try to finish it ...
Travel for Dragoncon is finally completely arranged! We've had our room at the marriott for a while; but we rented our van last week. We paid a little extra to be able to pick it up the wednesday before and drop it off tuesday instead of monday. So we don't have the rush trying to check out monday and get back to return the van this year! Josh is not ...

Bought the materials, haven't touched them. Finish Yuuko? Somewhat - ...
First off, my new toy came today! oh heck yes... New Leia pics we took a while back-- I want to do the Rebel Legion trading cards this time around, so I needed better pics of some of my costumes. Next up - padme lake dress -- stormtrooper -- imperial officer -- maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that, when I was cleaning and organizing my costume closet the ...
There are five or six projects I want to work on over the winter months. Dorothy, which might hit the backburner. I was going to make it for halloween - still might - but now I'm not going to be in Memphis to do the group with everybody that weekend so it kinda makes it pointless. However, I might go ahead and put it together for actual Halloween night (when ...
