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 ...
This weekend was MidSouthCon of course! (Warning: there is puke in the upcoming story.) It ended up being kind of a strange weekend. Our plans were to take Kevin and let him enjoy the convention while I was doing my panels and whatnot. We picked him up Thursday and he spent the night, then Friday I ran home at lunch to bring him back up to work with me (had ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let's look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it was going to be too much work the way I was wanting ...
Well it's a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the photo scavenger hunt I set up for him all weekend, ...
My Runaway Bride Donna from AnimazeGuy: I looove this one, I look so sassy face. And I love these Romana shots from Eurobeat Kasumi! This one is my fav: And me on K9's monitor. He had the GoPro on that night and was broadcasting to the monitor. Annnd this photo edit from Chasing Photography, inserting me into this piece from Art of the Disney Princess (and thus getting rid ...
Here's so more dragoncon pics I've collected from others :) Supergirl, from Icosplay.com With my glowing Kryptonite glass LOL Donna, from Lofidelity Here's a great handful of He-Man/She-Ra group pics from Steve McManus: I love this pic of my Belle from Lionboogy: And this one of me and Chase from Star Wars Fever: And the Doctor, Romana and K9, from Sam W Honda: I'd post more but I think ...
I've finished my Romana I costume and have added it to my portfolio! I was really, really happy with how my Romana costume turned out. I had expected to be "satisfied" with it - I wasn't 100% sure about it before the con but figured it'd all be ok, so I was surprised to get it all on, and then see pictures - I'm really quite pleased with it. I had ...
Well I've been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven't posted a thing here - sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I was so bummed on Monday because I didn't want it ...
Worked on some different stuff last night. I finally finished my Romana I brooch and got it attached! About time, I think I've been done with everything else on it for a few weeks now. Overall really happy with it. Although could I have taken a worse picture? Why didn't I at least stick it on the dress form that was sitting 2 feet away? What an awful picture. Oh well. ...
