man, if there's one thing I like about my new laptop, it's that I opted for the card reader. I can take a pic with my old digital camera and then just stick the memory card in and there it is! yay! so much easier than it used to be... my point: I just tried this Mehron 3-D gel on my arm, since I'm going to be using for Padme ...
Padme is finished! Well, mostly. I cut the rips on the back tonight, repainted the armbands, hemmed the sleeves and took up the boot covers. I painted the boot covers yesterday. I just wish I had better boots to wear underneath them, but I can't afford to buy new boots right now when I have a pair that will do. The only thing I have left to do is handsew ...
In progress Padme: I obviously don't have my hair fixed. I still need to: -Finish the collar on the top -Work on the ripped edges some more -Repaint the armbands -Cut the rips on the back -Take in the boot covers at the ankle a little more -Paint the boot covers (her boot covers seem a little darker the rest of the costume, and also all the straps and places ...
I finished the basic top for Padme last night. I need to attach the sleeve, do the rips on the back and make the hem look a little more ragged. For the pants, I still need to add the elastic to the top. (cause otherwise they won't stay up) I need to make my boot covers, and alter my belt, and that's it, surprisingly enough. What was I freaking out ...
I lucked into finding a great wig for it a couple of weeks ago. I finished the pants for Padme last night, but the fabric ended up being a LOT thinner than it originally looked like it was going to be. I'm going to have to make a second pair to wear underneath them.
Dude I have really messed around getting ready for MTAC. I messed up on my pre-reg, I messed up on getting an art table, and now I'm not going to have a new costume. :P I'm hardly going to have time to finish Padme for MidSouthCon weekend after next, and I forgot I have to finish my cousin's Link costume for MTAC, so I'm pushing Ozma back to Comic-Con, and ...
Costumes and to-do lists... Padme Amidala Battle suit I've got the fabric, I've got the belt, I've the base for the shoes. I just haven't started on anything... I need to get cracking, I've only got about 3 weeks before I have to wear it. Ozma I've got nothing except the wig. I REALLY need to get going on this one - it's got about 4 weeks... I need to get fabric, ...
Argh. I came over here to write something important, and now I've forgotten it. Must have not been too important. So I'll do something else. Got my Katsucon prereg confirmation today. We're flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won't be doing any con stuff that day. My new costumes for it are ...
