well, i can no longer get on the internet at home, something is wrong with my laptop's wireless thingie. I can use dad's computer, though, but I hate being cooped up in the computer room. I suppose it's a blessing - keeps me working. Endor Leia - finished sewing the pleated section on the base helmet - donut is finished, except for adding the bill. Tonight I'm hoping to finish ...
I got off work early today... so I came home, ate some lunch, and actually got some work done. I went outside and played with the dye... another layer of dye on my endor poncho, and navy on the funeral cape. If they both stay as they are, I'll be happy. I think the poncho will be fine - but I think the cape will dry lighter than I want, ...
I've finished my Padme funeral gown and have added it to my portfolio!
I'll start with Friday :) Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt's car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up early, Chase put on Vader, I put on Hoth Leia, and we ...
Padme is going; but she's not really finished. After this con the collar and the few sequins I sewed on will be taken off, and the cape will be dyed some more. I may also remake the collar. But it's wearable. I hope. I packed Hoth Leia, Ewok Village Leia, and Slave Leia, along with Funeral Padme, Corde, and Wonder Woman. Out of those, I probably won't wear Corde. I ...
Wow, I have completely run out of time. I did one more dip in the dye for the cloak this morning, but its the last one I have time for before we leave tomorrow. I'm still not happy with the colour. It's still not dark enough, too bright. I don't think I have time to put the sequins on the cape, either. All of that will have to wait until ...
Wow, last night was interesting. I painted the cape last night. I almost got done - there's about 15% left in the center I need to do. I just had to stop last night, my back was killing me from leaning over the stupid thing, and I was COVERED. I mean, my hands were completely blue (I looked like mystique!), the bottom sides of my arms up to my elbow, my ...
Sorry, no pics to post of stuff in progress today... My laptop died. Luckily my hard drive is ok. I bought a hard drive enclosure yesterday, and was able to get most of what I hadn't backed up off of it, and onto my external (back up) hard drive. There were a few files and folders that I needed into which Chase's mac couldn't see for some reason, so tonight ...
Normally I'm off at a con this weekend! Nope, this year it's next weekend. The good news - Chase is getting off early friday, around 2. So we'll be pulling into Knoxville around 9. Not really enough time to do anything that night, unfortunately, but better than 2 or 3 in the morning. I have no idea when I'm going to wear what, now. I'm taking Hoth leia, Ewok Village Leia, funeral Padme, Wonder ...
really quickly, because I have to leave in like 2 minutes for a dr's appt. Underdress is almost finished, just needs tweaking. Cut out the basic pieces of the cape last night and pinned them on, tonight I will put them together and hopefully start dying.
