Rogue boots progress
My dress sold! Very exciting. I’ve only ever sold one of my costumes on ebay once before, and that didn’t turn out well, so I’m glad this time has gone so smoothly (and that it went for more than my buy-it-now even was! whoohoo!) I’m still at the beginning stages of my Rogue boots. I decided that while I work…

Rogue and Vader updates
I got started on my Rogue gloves today, and my boots got here, yay 🙂 And remember the drama with the broken mannequin? I got my replacement parts for her today! Got Chase’s Vader shirt parts cut out today. I’m about to go start working on my Rogue boots…

Vader, Padme and Rogue updates
Got my Padme tunic finished – the collar looks good! I’ll try to take pics this weekend. However dying the pants did not turn out good – they turned kinda yellowish. So back to the drawing board with that. Got Chase’s Vader pants nearly finished, the elastic straps for his feet are partially put on, got the velcro put on…

Fabric & SDCC 2006 Schedule
My main brooch for mustafar padme is almost done; I’m a bit stuck on doing the little flowers on the sculpey. Everytime I tried to just carve the shape it ends up not looking right. I got tired of thinking about it yesterday so I haven’t looked at it since. I went to the fabric store friday – got my…

Sculpey Moment
Well, I was without internet access all weekend, so you’d think I would have gotten some more work done, but alas, that was not the case. Anyway, the point of this entry was this: I’m sitting here working with some sculpey at the moment, and it made me remember this incident a few years ago. It was back in early…

Breha Organa
On a random note, sometime (more than likely next year, as I don’t have time for it this year), if Chase ever decides to make the Bail Organa costume, I seriously want to make Breha to go with it. It’s such a pretty costume. Hopefully I’m going to make a fabric store run tomorrow. If I don’t get sidetracked at…

SDCC 2006 Prep
Now that COSI is behind me, here’s what I need to focus on for Comic Con: Vader Chase has pretty much got everything done. The pants still need some tweaking, I need to hem his cape, and get the shirt started. The shirt won’t take long (at least I hope it won’t). Now that he has his shoulder armor I…

WSMI at COSI 2006 Pics!
Since I did the Wonderfest post over at my other journal, I’ll do the COSI one here! A strange crew on the falcon… Friday! Ash and I left Chase’s apt and took a cab to the airport.
