Sorry for no post yesterday. I was off work! But not like a fun day off work, Chase had another appointment for his back problems and I had to have him there super early and to drive him home and what not. I felt like I really didn't have much to post about sewing today but looking back, I actually do? What! how did that happen. So last post I ...
why it's me and Craig Parker! (Haldir in FOTR and TT) He was very nice :) Anyway, my point of this entry was the fact that I have my dragoncon pictures up. Right here . And thus ends my con season. Nothing until march next year. Now I can clean my room!
My Padme (concept art wedding dress) costume is finished and has been added to my portfolio!
Lessa - done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won't take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week - it's almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We'll see at dragoncon. Hermione - done. will need to be pressed again when we get there (skirt, robes and white shirt... too much stuff ...
Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I've finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I've made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that's ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash's masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly done, I've just got about an hour or so's work left ...
So yesterday we had another little sewing get-together. I finished Lessa (no pics yet), and got started on the base dress for Amidala, and I made one of the accessories for Amidala and Got the top and skirt put together for Ash's costume, and got started on *her* headpiece. Got the skirt for Ash's mom's hobbit costume finished, and I finished her hobbit feet. They crack me up! My masquerade ...
Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that 'i believe in love' song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off... a Some jeans commercial. I don't know what it's for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it's this woman walking down a hall to a version of Lenny Kravitz' 'Are You Gonna Go My Way?' The ...
Lessa: Everything is finished except a few little details. I'm going to finish it tonight. Masq. Costume: Finished except for the headpiece, which is underway. Hermione: Still need to iron the pleats back in, but that's it. Amidala: I got a wig, otherwise I haven't done anything else. I redid my Belldandy antenna yesterday. They look *so* much better. A year and a half and seven cons were beginning to ...
quick trip to hancock's today, and I got my dark red lining for my PoA cloak, some green ribbon, and some really awesome wolf-looking fur for the lining of my Lessa costume. I don't want to cut it up! I want to use it as a blanket x_x It's so snuggly!! So, dragoncon to-do list... Masq Costume: 75% Main dress is done, shoes are halfway done, accessories are underway. Lessa: 30% ...
