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 - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I ...
We did a photoshoot of my 4 Leia costumes the other day. I really really love how some of them came out. Here's some favs.
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 wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
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 face, blowing it up to the size I wanted, printing ...
I finished my Leia rebel uniform and have added it to my portfolio!
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 I sure don't. Then the plane ride was like, the ...
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 has to be done tomorrow. Oh, and I have one little ...
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 to make the vest, put the pockets on the sleeve, ...
Snow White... I still have to: -Make the hairbow -Make attach the collar -Make the cape -Finish the sleeves (red cuff at the bottom of each sleeve) -Put bows on shoes -Make slip I made Ash's gloves - tomorrow I'l make her feet and she'll be done. Which just leaves Leia and Polychrome. If Polychrome doesn't get finished I won't be too upset, as I'm having trouble fitting it into ...
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 :D Also made more good progress with Ash's costume, I'm very pleased with how it's coming out. Those two things are good news because I've been in such a terrible mood ...
