Maybe the morning after Star Wars isn't the best time to do this. I went to bed hours after I normally do and still had to get up at 6:30 for work today so I am beyond fuzzy. BUT I realized I hadn't done this yet and got all excited to type up the post, so here we go, fuzzy headed or not. 1. Pink Dragon I made a giant, wear-able pink ...
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, ...
In (sort-of) order of wearing! 1. Peggy Carter I did some updates to Peggy - I took it up a bit through the waist and removed the shoulder pads, and fixed up the wig. It made a HUGE difference! The jacket fit much better and the wig looked way better, too. I just wish I could have had time to take up the sleeves - they are still huge - but ...
I've finished my Elf Queen Aelsa (Thor) costume and have added it to my portfolio!
This weekend was crazy... ! Saturday was not only Memphis Comic Expo - but moving day for my grandma. The plan was for myself, Chase and Kevin to head up to the convention and the movers/the rest of the family would do the moving. But we ended up heading over that way to help after a couple of hours. And then Sunday was allll day going through her house, packing ...
More beading progress from last night: I got the base of the "spikes" on either side done, the rest of them I'll do by hand. More general beading, too. Monkeyed around with the top line parts a little, too. FABRIC! My spandex order came! My Captain Marvel fabric! I'm actually doing it!!!!! I was going to do it 2 years ago, had the costume breakdown in my head and bookmarked fabric ...
I never did come back with a picture of the wig because I forgot to take one. So I took one this morning. I need to brush the wig out really well. It has been manhandled a lot recently so I need to get it looking nice again. I'll probably rebraid the front, too, and I'm going to find some kind of ribbon or trim to glue around the base ...
Breaking today's post up into 2 posts because my car post got a little long. I got a decent amount of work done this weekend! First off, on Friday, I had the sudden realization that I had my dates for Memphis Comic Expo mixed up. I thought I had 2 weeks to finish my costume. Turns out it's NEXT weekend. Yikes! In all my years of going to cons I have NEVER ...
Since I'm done with Janet Snakehole, I went back to work on the Aelsa costume! I picked up some stretch satin last weekend and got my gloves made this week. I did some decorative embroidery stitch from one of the sewing machines along the front part, and some beading along the front edge. I just need to add the finger loop. I'm debating on dyeing them. They should be like ...
I forgot I had this pic - here's my wig for Queen Aelsa: I've gotten the two wigs sewn together, now I need to style it and add the decorations. Last night, I got my hem top-stitched, put the zipper in, and got the sleeves made and attached: Tonight, I get to figure out the collar. I don't think it will be hard, but I have very limited material to ...
