Well let's see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn't do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It's all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white shirt, because otherwise they wouldn't stay up high enough ...
Chase brought up two things out of the shop that he's working on -- First up, my Starfire gauntlets. He's downstairs cutting the excess off of them right now. I won't be able to bend my hand outward at the wrist, but I can deal with that. Wonder Woman shins - This will probably give away which version I'm doing - you can see where he's drawn guidelines on these. ...
My Zatanna jacket came! OMG I love it! I'm not going to have to do much to it at all - I'm going to take up the side seams at the waist, and I miiiiight take it up at the shoulders, but otherwise it's great. Tonight it's all working on Chase's clone, to try to get it ready for later tonight - we'll be heading to TRU around 10:30. I'm excited... ...
Got the bodice of the new WW basically put together yesterday. I've got to figure out where my boning is so I can hopefully get it finished by this weekend. Starfire wig is coming along. I got one Starfire boot almost finished. I need to do a little more fitting around the upper portion, and hem the top edge. The other boot pieces are cut out, need to get it ...
I've been having the WORST luck on ebay. First the wrong boots thing - which ended up OK - but now the wig I bought for Zatanna has arrived and it's SHORT. Like it barely touches the top of my shoulders. I'm pissed, it was an expensive wig... I can't tell whether or not it's a different wig that's in the pictures. If you had it on a tiny wig ...
I worked on my Starfire wig, but mostly I worked on my Zatanna vest. I had a vest that came with a pair of pants from several years ago - I think I wore the vest once and decided I looked like a waitress LOL but I found it when unpacking so I thought it would make a cute vest for Zatanna. I had to take it up a lot, ...
art reference for my zatanna costume...
Starfire - I got my wig, I need to start working on it - unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn't fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I've got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit... and Chase has been working on the gauntlets. I'm excited. WW ...
Well since I'm mostly done for the year - outside of my little secret project - I'm gonna go ahead and post this. I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
I asked Chase which should be my next superhero costume - I gave him a choice of 4 - Zatanna, comic-book Starfire (which I've wanted to do since doing the Cartoon Network version), Power Girl or Scarlet Witch. He didn't like Power Girl, which I didn't expect him to, he wasn't too keen on Zatanna, either - he said Starfire or Scarlet Witch, but I think he liked Scarlet Witch better. ...
