I'm back with a huge dump of content. Let's start with white backdrop shoot round 1 results! Also portfolio entries for all 3 of these are updated with more pics and any other little notes I wanted to add since Dragoncon. Mara Jade: Shin Hati: Taylor Swift: Speaking of Taylor Swift... time for a trip recap! We left bright and early Halloween morning and drove to Louisville. Had dinner at a troll ...
Hi Again. I finished the Shin cloak. Got all the costumes pulled for the first 2 shoots. Went to iron Mara and discovered the back hem was pinned up about an inch with 3 pins (all on the inside.) So I guess I wore it like that at Dragoncon and didn't notice when I steamed it. It looks like I was going to shorten the center back but forgot and just closed ...
Wow! After weeks of nothing much to post about, I finally have a decent amount of stuff to post about! First here's a couple of Chase's pics of my Wanda at Zooboo last weekend. And my parents! Monday I got something in the mail I'd been waiting on for QUITE A WHILE! This is the RS Propmasters Boushh helmet, I got #15 out of 100. It's gorgeous! It lights up! Ahhhh! I ...
Here I am again with nothing important to talk about or show. I also did not go in my sewing room at all in the last week, not even to clean up the attic stuff. So now I've got 4 weeks to finish these capes. Which is do-able but I wanted to get an early start, ah well. Finish is the wrong word for Baylan's cape - correct for my Shin ...
Oh hi Not much to report on this week. I did put parts of Baylan and Shin on the dressforms to take some more pics. Gonna add a few of these to the construction page until I can get more pics of us IN the costumes. Got all of Dragoncon put away. As I was carrying the last bit upstairs (the garment rack) it felt weird, like all this build ...
Well I'm back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I'm kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn't do any of it. It was like I only had a finite amount of mental energy, less than usual, and I ...
Down to the wire here. The last week has been a roller coaster. I have a new boss. His style is totally spiking my anxiety. 2 meetings today in the midst of trying to get ready to be out of town. I do not think he understand my job/position in the company. I'm going to have to deal with this when I get back. (EDIT: I removed the paragraph about ...
Sooo that was an interesting weekend. First let's go through Friday's to-do list and see what I got done: 1. Finish T’Lyn wig 2. Paint her ears to better match my skin tone, I tried them on and they are not a match. 3. Try on Taylor wig, cut bangs if needed? 4. Finish tacking the lining on the Taylor jacket 5. Stamp the Padme cape 6. Finish Baylan vest 7. Finish Baylan shirt 8. Finish Baylan ...
It's a Friday update only because I need to get my to-do list in order and figured I'd make it public. I'll have more info and photos on Monday. T’Lyn: -Try on/style wig -print/paint badge -add blue stripes to boots (they came in and I love them!) Taylor: -reglue lost stones on -finish tacking lining on jacket -try on wig Padme: -stamp designs on cape (testing ink ...
It's now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we'd have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what'd I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don't know, and I don't give a shit at this point. More Taylor boot ...
