365 project

Posts about my 365 Project, where in 2010 I attempted to post one finished drawing a day. I did not succeed, LOL. Also a few straggler posts where I went back and updated a few of the 2010 pieces.

    Artwork stuff

    I revisited some of my 365 princess pics from a couple of years ago and fixed some things I didn’t like. Here’s the first of the fixed versions: Snow White still looks a little awkward but I fixed some of the problem with her neck and eyes. Cinderella got a head-reposition, hair colour fix, etc. Aurora’s dress colour got changed,…

    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 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,…

    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.…

    365 Project – Padme Nightgown + Crazy Emails

    Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past – always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I’d been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails…

    sorry it’s taken me so long to get a new one up. This one took a while, in between cleaning and organizing and everything going on. this is my mandalorian costume from 2006. it took forever to do 😛

    Bruises, Randomness, Art

    Things have been busy. My great-great aunt Louise died earlier this week. She was 95. Her husband, my great-great uncle died in 1964 so I never knew him. The graveside service was interesting. It was pouring rain and we were huddled under a leaking tent, but the minister who spoke was straight out of a movie, an old-fashioned country minister,…

    Jaina Solo art

    I had to hurry to get this one finished to post it today, so I’ll post a little more chit chat tomorrow… now I’m going to bed 😛 Jaina Solo Tomorrow is Star Wars in Concert so I won’t have any pic to post tomorrow – but I’ll make a post hopefully about it when we get home 🙂
