Sorry I haven't posted in (checks) 10 days! My website's server has been up and down... looks like it's finally stable again now. Plus I haven't really had much to post; haven't sewn much in the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping to finish cleaning up my sewing room this weekend and get back to work. So let's see, what has happened since I last posted... I decided on my one Dragon Con ...
Got the last two sets uploaded - Ozma and Ame-Comi Wonder Woman! Really happy with how Ozma turned out. I really like how the new fluffy Anna Valerious wig looks with this costume, as opposed to the flatter, straighter wig I always used for it. And... the wand. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my Ozma wand was missing, and I knew where-ever it was, it was broken on ...
When UPS says your package will arrive 4/14, hands off to USPS on 4/13 and they scan it twice but it never shows up USPS THIS IS WHY NOBODY LIKES YOU Anyway, I got a couple more sets of the new photos uploaded... Bespin Escape Leia! Nice to mark this one off the list - now I just have one more Leia costume to shoot on the backdrop, the 70s Doll Poncho ...
The photoshoot Saturday went pretty good! We managed to get through all 8, but I almost stopped after 6. I was exhausted. But after a little nap and dinner, I was able to pull together and finish the last 2. I've got 4 of them up so far: Imperial Officer: Played around with a couple of different hairstyles for this but my fav ended up being the braid. Arwen!! Ahhh! OMG I love my ...
So prepping for this weekend's photoshoot has consumed my entire week. But before I dig into that, I guess I should show the results of my Anna Valerious wig re-curling: It's not perfect but I am pretty darn happy with it, and it's miles ahead of where it started out. I may wear it for Ozma too, instead of the Arwen wig! So I started pulling out costumes for Saturday's ...
Besides uploading all my Disney photos, I also got my Disgust photoshoot pictures up! Super happy with how these came out. Here's a few favs... And I have my portfolio updated with the construction stuff!
First up, the last few from the photoshoot - Magik, Johanna and Romana I. Romana was towards the end because dumbing down the white backdrop to total white was difficult around those feathers. Over the years some dings and scratches and paint peels have occurred on my Magik armor... and I really like it, I wish I had more of them. Haha. And finally Johanna. So this past week I ...
Queen Aelsa... (not Elsa) Donna Noble, Fires of Pompeii. This needed a photoshoot since I redid the trim and fixed a few problems earlier this year - then I took no photos of it at Dragon Con. Queen Hippolyta, long overdue for a white backdrop shoot Hippolyta could use a big overhaul. Repainting, fixing some broken parts with more than just hot glue, fixing a fit issue on the bodice, ...
I got Rogue as Ms Marvel and Leia comic book suit uploaded last night: The Rogue as Ms Marvel shots aren't great, we shot those really fast because I didn't want the glue for the mask to set and mess up my make-up. But at least I got them. Really happy with the Leia shots though! Tonight I'm hoping to get Aelsa photos uploaded.
So Tuesday last week I had a sore throat, Wednesday I had no voice. Thursday day I felt OK just tired and I had started coughing. Now it's turned into a little cold and I've been hacking up a lung for the past couple of days. But beyond that, Thanksgiving was nice. We had the family lunch and then went home and slept the rest of the day. Leftovers for ...
