I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately. We've been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I've been thinking of! In the meantime here's my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.
Well, I Istill/i haven't worked on anything lately. I did get my ceremonial Leia skirt pieces out and washed them, since it had gotten something on it while laying around in the sewing room (who knows what, probably paint or something. It came off). Mum agreed tonight to look at it with me and help me figure out where I am with it - I don't remember! I think ...
i got catching up to do on posts & what not, but... made some progress on the handmaiden tonight. got the basic dress cut out and sewn together - tomorrow night I will work on fit, and getting the sleeves in. Then this weekend I'll take it with me to Nashville and continue work on it there... Also if you check out the new 501st website - the front picture ...
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 off - I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn't believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew - I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but - yay! It made my weekend. SO I didn't get Yuuko *completely* finished - I'm going to get it finished for MTAC next year. I didn't attach the sleeves to the bodice, ...
My rebel bird tattoo. It's mostly healed. I'm really proud of myself for getting it done, I had wanted one for years and years but was always too scared. :) A-kon is OK - I'm mostly here for my cousin, we're just doing whatever he wants to do. So if anybody sees me, I'll just be wandering... :P
C3, costume wise... I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning - not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that - and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That's what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not checking it before packing it! I'll have to fix the necklace ...
First things first: -Got my midnight Star Wars tickets. Yay! -Got tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta Sept 1, night before Dragoncon -School is finished for the semester, whee. C3 was at an awful time of the year. Both Ash and I had so much school stuff due because it was smack at the end of the semester! I had my finals the days after I got back ...
