    Integra photoshoot pics!

    I took some new pics of Integra yesterday. Previously the only good pics I had were taken at MTAC – but at MTAC I had forgotten pieces (the gloves, the middle part of the belts, etc), so I wanted some more pics. Integra is off to work! A closeup. My lower belt was out of place in most of the…

    Leia Progress

    I haven’t updated in a while! Well I’m not making Meg for Halloween. I opted for ANH Leia instead. I’ve already made the dress twice. I didn’t like the first one, so I got a different fabric and a different pattern and tried again. I’m still not 100% satisfied but it’ll have to do, as I don’t have the extra…

    EEEE *geek spasm* I got my badge and my hotel room for Star Wars Celebration III!! And best of all, we’re staying in an Omni again! Connected to the convention center via skywalk! It only took 4 1/2 hours to register, too. Geez. The site was absolutely choked with people trying to register. I just kept refreshing until I got…

    2005 Convention Schedule

    For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…

    when I was in animerica

    Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

    Lessa, hermione, Ozma and Padme updates

    Lessa – done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won’t take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week – it’s almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We’ll see at dragoncon. Hermione – done. will need to be pressed again when…

    Updates & Dcon 04 Schedule

    Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I’ve finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I’ve made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that’s ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash’s masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly…

    Ozma, Hermione and other Progress Pics!

    Pictures! my “secret” masquerade costume is ozma, which anybody who has been around my site or my cosplaylab profile would know I’ve been planning on doing for a long time. Ash and I decided we wanted to keep it under wraps until dragoncon though, so I’ve stopped mentioning what it is. Anyway, I started on it back before akon but…

    Hermione, Lessa, Ozma, and Padme progress

    quick trip to hancock’s today, and I got my dark red lining for my PoA cloak, some green ribbon, and some really awesome wolf-looking fur for the lining of my Lessa costume. I don’t want to cut it up! I want to use it as a blanket x_x It’s so snuggly!! So, dragoncon to-do list… Masq Costume: 75% Main dress…
