To Dragoncon 2006… and beyond!
Now that I’m home from Comic Con (FINALLY!) – no time to rest, time to get started on Dragoncon stuffs! New stuff I’m working on: Handmaiden: I’ve been wanting to do handmaiden for ages. I’m finally making myself do it for Dcon this year. I’m very excited! I’ve got my pattern and a gameplan – I just need to pick…

Padme Lake dress wrap-up
Whew! A quick trip down memory lane. My first & second versions, in 2002 for Dragoncon, and 2006 for MidSouthcon: My first version, I still very much love it and wouldn’t get rid of it for anything, but as time went by I realised more and more how inaccurate it is, and really wanted to remake it properly one day.…

Mustafar Padme wrap up
First and foremost: I’ve got to do the hair differently next time. I didn’t pull my hair tight enough, and I need to leave my bangs down in the front a bit (even though I know that’s not how hers is, I just prefer to have my hair like that). Otherwise… The whole costume was wonderfully comfortable! 😀 I’d like…

Comic Con 2006 Roundup: Everything Else
And as for my costumes that weren’t new… here’s how they did! Animated Leia: I know you all know I was squeeing like mad when I saw Gentle Giant had a huge version of the animated Leia at their booth! So first thing thursday morning was to hop over and get pics with it! I was stuck there for some…

Rogue wrap up
All in all, I was very happy with how Rogue turned out! However I am planning to redo one certain element: I’m going to cut the arms and legs of the blue suit off and permanantly attach the gloves and boots. I don’t like how you can see a tint of the blue through the single layer of the boots…

Well kids
Well folks – that’s it for San Diego. This year was no exception, and I’m tired of the stress involved with traveling out there. So that’s it, this was more than likely my last Comic Con. Besides the snafu with the hotel (which was the MARRIOTT GASLAMP for those wondering. I did get a call from the asst. manager after…

Hello from Comic Con 2006! (Again)
For the first time ever… I got called “Vader” while wearing ANH Leia today. I’m about to go upload a few more pics – just the ones from yesterday morning – in my flickr account (see the link in my previous entry). I’ll work on some more of them tomorrow. Yesterday morning I wore the new Lake dress… it went…

Pics from Comic Con 2006!
Here’s more pics! I didn’t take many today – we were busy! I was very excited last night to see Gentle Giant has a giant Animated Style Leia outside their booth!! So that was my first place I wanted to go this morning. I ended up being stuck there for nearly half an hour with people taking pics. It was…

hello from sdcc 2006!
We are here in San Diego! Our flight was smooth – getting into the hotel was not. I’m not going to go into it all, but the kicker was them sticking us in a room with only one bed – and we have 3 people. I called and asked why (because I had just called the hotel monday to confirm…

Vader sneak peek!
Chase’s Vader is all done!! Here he is doing a fashion show for everybody.

Lake dress & Mustafar updates
Danielle’s lake dress is nearly done; I spent the afternoon dying the chiffon. Interesting experience… i did it a different way and for the most part i’m pleased with the results. The only thing i was disappointed in was the blue… it faded a LOT, especially at the bottom, so when I dye mine tomorrow I may put the bottom…

Lake Dress and Rogue progress pics!
Padme Lake dress 3.0: The base dresses are put together, and dyed. Haven’t hemmed or put the snap in at the top. Doing that today. I got the chiffon overlay cut out for Danielle’s, and I’ve started edging that. Looks good so far… Tonight I’ll cut my overlay fabric fabric out and start on it. I’m hoping to dye them…

when i made a bingo game
And, in other news, I have either lost a cap or a really big filling in one of my teeth. It doesn’t hurt at all, I noticed after dinner tonight, I realised when I ran my tongue over that last tooth in my mouth it felt… not right. Like the middle of my tooth is missing. I certainly haven’t swallowed…

Mustafar and Lake Padme Progress
Mustafar: I just kinda tossed the hair up for the picture so it’s not right, but here’s everything but the jewelry. Hopefully Chase will be casting those for me tomorrow night. I’m going to make another pregnancy pad – I don’t like that one… it’s just a pillow and it won’t stay put. Those are pants #2. They’re too light,…
-
Rogue, Mustafar and Lake Padme updates!
I finished my Rogue straps, the boots and all the little straps that go around her wrists, upper arms and top of the boots! Whoohoo! All I have left to do on her is sew some velcro on the legs and top of the boots so the boots will freaking stay up. And get Chase to finish the center X…

Mustafar Padme brooches
Well this weekend was fairly productive. My Padme Mustafar brooches are done! Well, almost, we finished the sculpey part. They look good! I’m really happy with them! I left them with Chase, he’s going to cast them in resin this week for me. Tonight going to do the straps, finally. I got new pants, since I ruined the other ones.…
