Last couple of new sets
Got the last two sets uploaded – Ozma and Ame-Comi Wonder Woman! Really happy with how Ozma turned out. I really like how the new fluffy Anna Valerious wig looks with this costume, as opposed to the flatter, straighter wig I always used for it. And… the wand. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my Ozma wand was missing,…

A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!
Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

2008 in review
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn’t, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff – to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the…

Nashville Photoshoot & Halloween
We’re home. We had a lot of fun this weekend, like I said. It’s going to take me a while to get all the photos up, though, there’s so many! He did send me two random Wonder Woman shots – I uploaded one of them. We shot WW at the Parthenon, like I said – and there were a LOT…

Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

Dragoncon 2008 – sunday!
Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said “NO!”) and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a…

Costume Updates!! and Ame-Comi WW preview
Sorry I haven’t posted much – we’ve been working pretty much non-stop, trying to finish everything. On friday we found out the guy was not going to finish my wonder woman stuff, either, so we had to swing into action and a figure out a half-decent way to do it outselves. It came out pretty well. The situation just sucks…

Frustration, and Starfire progress
So the situation I talked about last time has at least come to some kind of resolution. The guy said yesterday that he was pulling my pieces that night, and that he would send it out today. I sent him a fedex slip for sat. delivery, so if it doesn’t show up tomorrow that’s our clue to start working on…

I think everything will get done
I am feeling ok about getting everything done in time. The only thing I’m not feeling ok about are the pieces of my Wonder Woman (my chestpiece and belt to be exact) and Chase’s Green Arrow that a friend of Chase’s was making for us – he still hasn’t sent them. It’s going to SUCK if they don’t come in…

Wonder Woman progress pics
Making progress, feeling better about things. I got my new Starfire boots and made the new covers for them and finished them up last night. Chase airbrushed my bodysuit and I made my armband. There’s not a lot left to do on Starfire – Chase is finishing up my collar, and painting that and the gauntlets… I just need to…

I haven’t posted in a few days, let me try to get caught up with where I’m at on stuff. Starfire – Chase got the chestpiece cut down, it looks so much better. Today we’ll be airbrushing the suit, and once that’s done I can finish hemming it. My new boots should be arriving tomorrow, and once they come I’ll…

Starfire, Glinda, Ame-Comi WW Pics
I took a few pics of things before I went to work this morning. My Starfire suit, just pinned on the dressform since I can’t put it on there. Doesn’t look that great pinned on, oh well, you get the idea anyway. The only part on this piece that’s not finished is the front section – that will be attached…

2 weeks til Dcon!
I need to take some progress pictures, just haven’t felt like it. I took apart Chase’s tunic today and replaced the front panel that I ripped. I used the ripped front as a lining for it, so in the end it was a good thing, I guess. I decided not to use the fabric I got for my WW bottom…

Wig Problems and Updates
Well let’s see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn’t do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It’s all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white…

Starfire and Ame-Comi WW Progress pics
Chase brought up two things out of the shop that he’s working on — First up, my Starfire gauntlets. He’s downstairs cutting the excess off of them right now. I won’t be able to bend my hand outward at the wrist, but I can deal with that. Wonder Woman shins – This will probably give away which version I’m doing…

Lots of updates
Got the bodice of the new WW basically put together yesterday. I’ve got to figure out where my boning is so I can hopefully get it finished by this weekend. Starfire wig is coming along. I got one Starfire boot almost finished. I need to do a little more fitting around the upper portion, and hem the top edge. The…

Snowbunny Padme preview!
I got my Snowbunny nearly finished tonight – all that’s left is for Chase to fix my belt – reattach the pouches and holster. I need to see if I can find my little Naboo blaster, I haven’t seen it in a while. Anyway, pic: I made the mockup for my WW bodice today, I’m pretty happy with it. It…
