some more art
Last night I sat down, turned on netflix, got my tablet plugged in, ready to finish up my Bespin embroidery design… but I opened and realized it was pretty much done. Hooray! So since I was already there, I did some rough sketchy drawings of Leia and Rey. Added some colour. I’d like to do some more like this. They…

Random Stuff
Hey! I’m behind on posting. Here’s what’s been going on lately. Last week I made a dress for a friend for Halloween! It’s not a great picture of it. The main part of the dress is a really neat, heavy matte knit that I really liked working with. My only issue was that I didn’t have the best needle for…

More art
Here’s ewok village Leia… And metal bikini Leia… I’ve been working on a Halloween costume for a friend and finished it up last night! It’s not the best pic of it but it’s all I’ve got.

Fixing stuff
Oh hi again! I haven’t updated lately… not much to update with, really. Been working on fixing broken images on my blog – so far I’ve gotten everything fixed back through 2008. Besides that, I did some art.

A few things
1. Dress Progress! I got the underdress totally hemmed night before last. Last night I got the other sleeve put in, and started hemming the chiffon. Mom gave me the idea to do a very small, tight zig-zag along the edge. I tested it out on some scraps and liked it. I started at the very back where I had…

Art Post: Unfinished Costume Art
So I was trying to do this project where I was drawing each of the costumes I’d done, so I could use them as the reference in each portfolio entry — that way, I’d have a good full-length view of the costume I’d made for the viewer to compare. I actually got a few done before I abandoned the project…

a sketch and a wig
I’ve got a very rough sketch for you today… Well I didn’t get any major work done on costumes last night – I spent the majority of the night trying to figure out how to do my Amidala hair now that I have shorter hair. I thought it would be easier actually… but it wasn’t, I didn’t take into account…

365 Project – Padme Robe
Sorry I didn’t post yesterday! I was exhausted! It’s “No Kevin Week” at work – he’s at camp, so we’re having to do his job. Boy do you appreciate all the hard work he does when he’s not there! I came home and went to sleep… then woke up and made some ruffles. More on that later. I had this…

365 Project – Picnic Padme
So I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but all of it added up to nothing, pretty much. We ran errands, I messed with the serger, vacuumed, gave the dog a bath, cleaned… etc. I didn’t really mess with costumes, I’m kinda stuck at the moment until I can go shopping. today I am going to finish the sleeves on…

up too early & a sketch
I’m up early because I have a dr appt this morning. ugh! A few people suggested I make a facebook page (as opposed to my profile). I waffled about it for a while… because I really didn’t see the need when I have a public profile anyone can friend. But I asked Chase if I should and he said “sure”……

365 Project – Padme Picnic Preview
I’m going to have to start posting in-progress pieces in order to post something everyday – I’ve got too much sewing to do for Dragoncon to be able to draw every night. So here’s today’s sneek peek. This week has been dragging on. Next week will be worse – Kevin will be away at camp! So work will be boring.

365 Project – Padme Family Gown + Gaga Progress
I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven’t been able to upload pics – but only it certain places. I can’t upload using flickr’s main uploadr, which I’ve never had an issue with before – I have to use the basic uploader…

365 Project – Padme Travel Gown
We got no work done last night. It was a night for vegging out. We picked up dinner instead of cooking, watched the Tudors (one more episode and we’re caught up – I really like the woman playing Katherine Parr, she’s really pretty) and played Star Wars Legos. I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one,…

365 Project – Padme Cut Senate + More Redbirds Pics
today’s princess is… Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase’s pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here’s my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase’s… We just look like we’re having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field…. I just…

eyelashes are not bugs
today we have Padme… So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I…

Amidala Senate art
I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go 🙂 So I’ve changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I’ve dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense – if…

365 Project – Black Invasion Amidala
Got up this morning and went to the mall. Then to Target. Then to Best Buy. Then to Hastings (comics!). Then to Lowe’s. Then back home for a few – then to the airport to drop Tom off. Then to Hancock’s (bought Lady Gaga fabric, new thread holder, yay memorial day coupons). Then to Lowe’s (again). Then to… the zoo.…
