a long overdue update

(EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I've been out of town almost every weekend since March, and add to that trying to finish various costumes ...

Post-Dragoncon 05 again

First and foremost I wanted to write about Stitch. Since I didn't get to write about him at all while making him, since Ash wanted him kept secret. This project has been on my mind since April, when we first came up with the skit idea while swimming at C3. I started out by finding a front shot of his face, blowing it up to the size I wanted, printing ...

Dragoncon 2005 pics!

4th Year at Dragoncon! So! Thursday morning I got up and went over to Ash's where my mum picked us up and took us to the airport. Ash and I sat around for a while after checking in. Anyway, Cat and Melissa met us there and... um, do any of you guys remember being in the airport after security? Cause I sure don't. Then the plane ride was like, the ...

when the power was out

So, the rain has stopped, for a while, anyway. Due to the fact we haven't had much rain around here lately, we didn't get flooded - even though it rained ALL night, our neighbor's front yard wasn't flooded (and it always floods when we get a lot of rain - the front part of his yard is very low, kids used to go swimming in it after a rain). I ...

Disney Princess Costumes FINISHED

All the princesses are done :) Cinderella looks a bit dumpy in that picture because it doesn't fit my dressform - the yellow tint of the ceiling light looks pretty icky on it, too. Snow White's collar isn't perfect, but it'll do. All is done on Ash's costume except putting the zipper in - that'll be the only thing that has to be done tomorrow. Oh, and I have one little ...

when i couldn’t tell if spiders

OOOOOOOOH! Now I remember what I was going to say! So this afternoon, I was working hard on stuff. I had been cutting and shaving foam rubber for a long time, and it was everywhere, and I felt yucky. So I went to take a shower. So I get in the shower, turn it on, and notice someTHINGS floating in the water. I instantly got all freaked out, because I ...
