Sorry I'm a day late! Chase just sent me the pics he took of my Valkyrie costume Saturday last night so I wanted to wait til i had those to post. But before i get to Valkyrie let's rewind to last week! First up look at all this fabric I donated! I was able to give all of this to an art teacher who has a sewing machine in her ...
Did a new set of photos last weekend! You can see them either by clicking above, and they've been added to the portfolio pages for Valkyrie, Enchantress and Ceremonial Leia!
It's that time of the year! Beginning of this year these were my plans: Enchantress - done! Alternate Wonder Woman - aka Hippolyta - done! Lady Blackhawk - done! Rogue - done! Marie Antoinette - done! Charlotte (Princess & the Frog) - no :( Ms Marvel red suit/Moonstone - done! Disney character - no :( TV character - no :( That's probably the best I've ever done actually doing what I said ...
I've finished my Valkyrie costume and have added it to my portfolio!
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night - there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it was really fun. Friday morning I got to wear Marie Antoinette, ...
So here's "Pink Barf".... aka this Shi'ar Rogue costume> from around Uncanny X-Men 342 (specifically the alternate cover which I've always loved.) It's not terribly flattering LOL But I love the pieces Chase made for me, especially the shoulder pieces, so I'm excited to get some shots of it. I added a belt for two reasons - one to throw my X-Men buckle on, since I'm not sure how recognizable ...
Working on my belt: This has been so much fun to make.
Last night was Project Runway night, so I worked on my embroidery a bit, so otherwise not a lot of pics to show. I did try on my Antoinette wig: It's amazingly well balanced. Didn't need a single bobbie pin to keep it on my head. Of course I'll put some bobbie pins in when I wear it at dcon, just in case, but it's not bad. Not too heavy; ...
less than 2 weeks now... The wig is done. I wanted to curl the leftover sections a bit more than they are, but everytime I tried on my test piece, the curling iron just straightened it! LOL I could have kept trying, probably, but decided to leave well enough alone. I'd like to add a few more pearls if possible but it depends on time. And I'm going to give ...
I need to break out the real camera and take some pics to post. My blog is awful bland with no pics. I've been working on "Pink Barf" - got the suit picked apart and cut the legs off. Got new front pieces cut. I had to go back and re-dye them because the chunk of leftover material I dyed didn't get in there long enough. I finished my shoes, ...
