Enchantress and Hippolyta Updates
Here are the updates I did to Enchantress & Hippolyta. Enchantress: New crown – taller, slightly different shape, should hopefully be easier to put on than the old one. New wig – at least, the one that I was supposed to wear at ECCC and couldn’t get it on with the crown. Works now. Updated Bodice – added some more…

frustrated
I really have nothing to share today, other than I got Ashley’s Ood jacket put together last night. Also that my mom found my little camera. I’d been wanting it because I’m going to have pockets in a few costumes so I can actually carry my own camera. Managed to dig up the charger, too… but it’s not working. Chase…

A very busy belt: Valkyrie Progress
Working on my belt: This has been so much fun to make.

A surprise costume!
I’ve put this off because I wanted to finish everything else first and this was just extra… but here’s a sneak peek at a surprise I’m working on!

Marie Antoinette wig progress
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,…

Marie Antoinette Progress, and Valkyrie stuff
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…

Wig Progress: Ms Kim is drunk
I’m finally happy with this thing! Here it is with the main wig sewn onto the base, starting to cover the base… I wanted the curls on top to be much less structured than the base look was… a little wilder, so they’re just lightly pinned in place, they’ll move around a bit. All that’s left is to curl the…

Website update
Updated my costume progress page (finally, it was woefully out of date.)

K-9 Test Run!
Here he is!

Pink Rogue Suit UPdate
Hey! I found a progress pic of Pink Barf I never uploaded. Here’s the suit cut out with the yellow pieces put together and pinned on. I think this was before I had to go back and remake the front piece though…

Marie Antoinette wig Progress
So here’s some more on the Antoinette wig saga. In my last update post, I posted a pic of it and said I wasn’t happy, ripped it all apart and cut down the foam insert. Honestly, besides feeling it was a tad taller than I wanted, I’d also gotten the wig cap too small. It was hard to fit on…

Sneak Peeks: Lady Blackhawk, Donna Noble, etc
Here’s a few pics I took of stuff I was working on fri-sat. Trying on Lady Blackhawk. My hat is huge! LOL. I will always have that problem because I have a tiny head. Hippolyta embroidery. It’s not perfect, but it’s going to show up a LOT better than the original drawn on lines. It’s a pain and taking longer…

im in love… Marie Antoinette finished
Some “real” pics finally. They still just don’t show how sparkley it is. All I have left to do is finish attaching the hook & eyes along the front (finished them once, but switching them out to black), and to finish my wig, which is giving me fits right now because I’m not sure what exactly I want to do…

Lady Blackhawk is done!
It’s a crappy pic, sorry LOL I got my patch blanks earlier this week, and got the hawks embroidered last night, and sewed the patches on this morning. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out; they’re not perfect, especially since I realised about halfway through the first one that I’d reversed the symbol when I drew on my guide.…

Making my Marie Antoinette Wig
(I’ve edited this post since finishing the wig so I have the full build process in one post!) So here’s my fumbling around with wigs. I really hate styling wigs – I wish I’d had it in my budget to buy a really fantastic custom piece off etsy or something, but, well, obviously I didn’t! So here’s what I did.…
-
some pics
Finally uploaded some pics from my phone. Here’s the dress as it was last week, I think it was: I had the lower sleeves and stomacher just pinned on there – I’ve since gotten them sewn in and, well, it’s pretty much done. Once I try it on I might find something that needs to be tweaked, so I’m calling…

30 days of dragoncon
I found this on tumblr. Thought I’d do it – going to have to catch up, so doing 2 of them today: Day 1. A photo of your first Dragoncon We were babies – Ash was still in high school. Day 2. One of the first friends you met via/through/ at Dragoncon Met my husband at dragoncon 2005. Tonight! I…

Lots of Updates, Still no Pics
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…

Rogue Pink Suit & Emma Frost Updates
This post isn’t going to be very interesting, because it’s about 2 of my surprise costumes. We’ll refer to them as “Pink Barf” and “Fur Monster.” I started on “Pink Barf” about two weeks ago and initially made great progress. I didn’t care for the shade of pink of my fabric though, even though it’s what i picked out from…

that moment…
that moment you get your costume to the point of finally trying it on. isn’t it fantastic? Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days; been busy at work and busy sewing every night. Over the week I’ve finished the beading on Marie (although I have a handful of beads leftover I may go back and toss on), finished the…
