    Possible Costume Lineups

    tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new – only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma.

    Shadowcon

    I’m trying to figure out what I want to wear to Shadowcon. Heres the things I thought of: Anna – the only problem I’d have with this is curling my hair, and it would be cold. Arwen Wedding – it’s such a pain to wear, and the fabric on the sleeves is pulling apart – if I wear it again…

    Thinking

    Semester before last in my Faust class, I did some costume designs for the three major characters in part one (Faust, Mephistopheles, and Gretchen), because I thought maybe I could make one of them as my final project (but I didn’t have time). I think I may work some more on one, probably either Meph’s or Gretchen’s (most likely Meph’s),…

    Qui-Gon and Amidala updates

    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…
