I'm back with a huge dump of content. Let's start with white backdrop shoot round 1 results! Also portfolio entries for all 3 of these are updated with more pics and any other little notes I wanted to add since Dragoncon. Mara Jade: Shin Hati: Taylor Swift: Speaking of Taylor Swift... time for a trip recap! We left bright and early Halloween morning and drove to Louisville. Had dinner at a troll ...
Hi Again. I finished the Shin cloak. Got all the costumes pulled for the first 2 shoots. Went to iron Mara and discovered the back hem was pinned up about an inch with 3 pins (all on the inside.) So I guess I wore it like that at Dragoncon and didn't notice when I steamed it. It looks like I was going to shorten the center back but forgot and just closed ...
Well I'm back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I'm kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn't do any of it. It was like I only had a finite amount of mental energy, less than usual, and I ...

It's now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we'd have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what'd I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don't know, and I don't give a shit at this point. More Taylor boot ...
Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I'm officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon costumes. Let's recap! Tatooine Padme: First up, I finally bit the bullet ...
