FAQ Friday: Princess Leia Hairstyles – Rebel/Endor Braids
Once again I’m posting 2 Leia hair tutorials today – again since these are similar I figure I’d post them together! Today I’m doing the Rebel/Endor hairstyle and the Hoth hairstyle – this post is for the Rebel/Endor braids 🙂 My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It’s been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles –…

2005 Year in Review!
I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I’d do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It…

Post-Dragoncon 05 again
First and foremost I wanted to write about Stitch. Since I didn’t get to write about him at all while making him, since Ash wanted him kept secret. This project has been on my mind since April, when we first came up with the skit idea while swimming at C3. I started out by finding a front shot of his…

Dragoncon 2005 pics!
4th Year at Dragoncon! So! Thursday morning I got up and went over to Ash’s where my mum picked us up and took us to the airport. Ash and I sat around for a while after checking in. Anyway, Cat and Melissa met us there and… um, do any of you guys remember being in the airport after security? Cause…

Disney Princess Costumes FINISHED
All the princesses are done 🙂 Cinderella looks a bit dumpy in that picture because it doesn’t fit my dressform – the yellow tint of the ceiling light looks pretty icky on it, too. Snow White’s collar isn’t perfect, but it’ll do. All is done on Ash’s costume except putting the zipper in – that’ll be the only thing that…

Princesses & Leia Rebel updates
Yesterday I went to Hancock for some last minute things. I also got some done on Leia. Working on Snow White’s collar now – once I finish that, all I need to do is add the cuffs, and do the bows for the shoes and hair, and finish her slip. Reckon I can do that today. For Leia, I need…

Which just leaves Leia and Polychrome. If Polychrome doesn’t get finished I won’t…

Belle progress…
Hee!! I’ll be finished with Belle tomorrow. I finished the bodice today, all hemmed, got the grommets in, and all. I’ve still got to do the shoulder pieces and put the jewels on but neither should take long. Yay 😀 Also made more good progress with Ash’s costume, I’m very pleased with how it’s coming out. Those two things are…

Fabric Shopping… Princesses, Rebel Leia, etc
Today’s fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley’s fabric. I’m not using what I got the other day, I don’t like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome – the two colours they didn’t have at…

Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Rebel Leia progress!
For Belle… I’ve still got to hem the skirt, but I got the overlay finished and I’m about halfway through beading it. I got my shoes and spruced them up a bit, they’re so gaudy they crack me up 😀 Tomorrow I’m going to tackle the rest of the skirt, and try to finish the beading so I can go…

Dragoncon 05 Projects
Went on a buying spree this morning! First, the Disney project: Belle (Me) It’s coming along. My mom’s ballroom hoopskirt is perfect for it. I got my yellow-gold material for the dress – it’s exactly what I wanted from a few months ago. At first I couldn’t find out and was bummed because I didn’t like anything else at the…

Comic Con 2005 Pics!
I’m still in San Diego – our flight is at 12:30 today… we’re already packed so we’re just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good… I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting – this is what Ash and I call the “Famiglia.” Don’t ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling…
