costume catch up
So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…

a sketch and a wig
I’ve got a very rough sketch for you today… Well I didn’t get any major work done on costumes last night – I spent the majority of the night trying to figure out how to do my Amidala hair now that I have shorter hair. I thought it would be easier actually… but it wasn’t, I didn’t take into account…

Dcon 2010 Costume Schedule
I changed up my list a little bit… here’s the updated list… You know I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on when people do “secret” costumes. Some people don’t like it, some do, etc. I think some people view it as a a “na na I don’t want anyone copying me” thing. Which for me, it’s not.…

365 Project – Padme Robe
Sorry I didn’t post yesterday! I was exhausted! It’s “No Kevin Week” at work – he’s at camp, so we’re having to do his job. Boy do you appreciate all the hard work he does when he’s not there! I came home and went to sleep… then woke up and made some ruffles. More on that later. I had this…

365 Project – Picnic Padme
So I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but all of it added up to nothing, pretty much. We ran errands, I messed with the serger, vacuumed, gave the dog a bath, cleaned… etc. I didn’t really mess with costumes, I’m kinda stuck at the moment until I can go shopping. today I am going to finish the sleeves on…

up too early & a sketch
I’m up early because I have a dr appt this morning. ugh! A few people suggested I make a facebook page (as opposed to my profile). I waffled about it for a while… because I really didn’t see the need when I have a public profile anyone can friend. But I asked Chase if I should and he said “sure”……

365 Project – Padme Picnic Preview
I’m going to have to start posting in-progress pieces in order to post something everyday – I’ve got too much sewing to do for Dragoncon to be able to draw every night. So here’s today’s sneek peek. This week has been dragging on. Next week will be worse – Kevin will be away at camp! So work will be boring.

365 Project – Padme Family Gown + Gaga Progress
I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven’t been able to upload pics – but only it certain places. I can’t upload using flickr’s main uploadr, which I’ve never had an issue with before – I have to use the basic uploader…

365 Project – Padme Travel Gown
We got no work done last night. It was a night for vegging out. We picked up dinner instead of cooking, watched the Tudors (one more episode and we’re caught up – I really like the woman playing Katherine Parr, she’s really pretty) and played Star Wars Legos. I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one,…

365 Project – Padme Cut Senate + More Redbirds Pics
today’s princess is… Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase’s pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here’s my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase’s… We just look like we’re having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field…. I just…

the past two days have been weird.
Sorry guys, no art post today. Haven’t had time! But I would like to post about yesterday and today. They’ve been interesting. I’m going to cut it up into segments. 1. So yesterday morning, Nana tells me they found a snake in the garage. She touched it, thinking it was a bungee cord, before she realised it was a giant…

eyelashes are not bugs
today we have Padme… So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I…

Amidala Senate art
I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go 🙂 So I’ve changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I’ve dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense – if…

365 Project – Black Invasion Amidala
Got up this morning and went to the mall. Then to Target. Then to Best Buy. Then to Hastings (comics!). Then to Lowe’s. Then back home for a few – then to the airport to drop Tom off. Then to Hancock’s (bought Lady Gaga fabric, new thread holder, yay memorial day coupons). Then to Lowe’s (again). Then to… the zoo.…

Redbirds Troop pics
Last night we did Star Wars night at the Memphis Redbirds’ baseball game. It was a lot of fun – more than I expected! We took pics with guests and Darth Vader threw out the opening pitch. We set up right in the middle of the opening area of the park – we posed for about an hour before heading…

365 Project – Padme Nightgown + Crazy Emails
Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past – always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I’d been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails…

Mandalorian art
sorry it’s taken me so long to get a new one up. This one took a while, in between cleaning and organizing and everything going on. this is my mandalorian costume from 2006. it took forever to do 😛

The Costume Closet is Finished
I know folks are probably tired of hearing about my stupid closet, but it’s finally finished! So I’m going to go over it once more 🙂 So a question I get asked a lot is “Where do you keep all of your costumes?” When I lived with my parents, the question was pretty easy to answer – we had converted…
