Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

Katsucon 2003 Pics!
I’m still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren’t many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the…

Preliminary Amalthea photos Holy mother of PERCY it is SO TIGHT. It’s like wearing a corset. Which I guess is a good thing cause I don’t need any straps to keep it up or anything!

Chun-Li: 65% – still got to make the actual dress part, oops Amalthea: 90% – was 100% until a small problem emerged and it…

Fabric shopping
We went to hancock’s day-before-yesterday to use this coupon kristie had saved for us (but we forgot to use the coupon!) I got more fabric for amalthea – they didn’t have enough first time I got it and I thought I could get away with what we had… but I needed more. Luckily they had gotten another bolt of the…

Amalthea & Utena updates
I finished Sakura, except I’m going to make some loose socks to wear with it. I got a pattern and fabric for Amalthea yesterday. I got some pretty light lavender satin for it… but they didn’t have what we wanted of it – 4 1/2 yards. THey only have 3.75 or something. So I got that and decided to make…

Arwen mostly done
Arwen is mostly done. Haven’t done the underskirt or hemmed the bottom of the dress yet, and I still have to make the white sleeves, but that’s it. It’s so pretty! Next we’re going to get White Utena, Sakura and Amalthea done. Then concentrate on my two main costumes for Katsu.

when i went down a rabbit hole
Weird thing… have had the name Ralph Bakshi stuck in my head the past few days. Probably just stuck in there after looking up info on Mighty Mouse for dad. I just ended up going down a rabbit hole about various Ralph Bakshi projects… looked at the IMDB entry for his version of LOTR and turns out the script was…
