Starfire, Poison Ivy progress

Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven't really done anything on Poison Ivy - but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and find something to cover the boots with. eta: he's also ...

Boots & Marion

Yesterday shopping went well - Found two pairs of boots that I could possibly use for the costume - I bought them both, as they were only $6 a piece! The others can always be used somewhere else, LOL. I got a pair of shorts/briefs for Poison Ivy at target - got them covered in leaves last night, but I'm going to have to put them on and let Chase ...

We're house-sitting next week, ...

Poison Ivy costume?

Out of the blue I kinda want to do a Poison Ivy costume. I realised I'm going to have all these silk ivy leaves leftover after the wedding (the ones that are going on top of our arbor at the ceremony site) - why not put them to good use? Also can reuse one of my red wigs and use my old Jupiter boots as a base... hmm.
