photoshoot pics yay
Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my “real hair” costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn’t like the…

no resolutions
I generally don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to “pet more dogs” and that’s what I’m going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year’s resolution. I didn’t post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend.…

Can we just talk about this pic for a minute? It looks like I just punched a guy to the floor and then posed for a picture.

More Dragoncon 2010 pics
More Supergirl pics: Magik: Updated Starfire, with DJSpider’s Blackfire: Donna Troy: And awesome Wonder Woman group shot: And me and George Perez 🙂 I had to tell him I kinda stalked him at cons back when I did my Cartoon Network Starfire and could NEVER find him! So it was awesome to finally get a pic with him in this.

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…

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.…

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…

various costume updates
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…

Green Arrow, Starfire updates
I remade my starfire suit today, and got it mostly finished. I think I want to take up the side sections a little more, though – will do that, tomorrow. fixed up my gloves and wig for the new “special” belle, and I finished the bodice for it, yesterday. It’s basically done – I need to practice getting it on.…

gah…various costume progress
I didn’t do ANYTHING last night – I poked around my WW bodice and the Starfire suit, but didn’t really DO anything. Watched Project Runway and got over my headache. I should be getting an integral part of Starfire – hopefully Saturday, if not, then on Monday. And then major parts of my WW costume middle of next week. Having…

Green Arrow progress
Last night, I had a headache, so I didn’t get much done. I got the collar for the GA tunic finished and sewn in, and I took up the Starfire purple suit and started hemming it, but stopped when I realised it’s still not fitting right around my hips. I’m going to take it to my parents’ house tonight and…

I managed to do everything on today’s to-do list, so I’m happy! The other night I finished my Starfire wig and got my WW wig halfway done.. last night I did nothing except watch project runway LOL Tonight, I dyed my starfire bodysuit. I think I got it pretty close – tomorrow once it’s completely dry i’m going to try…

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…

Starfire updates and stuff
I finally tried on the wig last night – and lo and behold, I’d managed to make it TOO big. LOL, and here I was worried about that! It wasn’t a hard fixed – all I had to do was remove the padding I’d added in the wig cap, and it got it back down to about where I wanted…
-
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…

Starfire and Zatanna updates
I worked on my Starfire wig, but mostly I worked on my Zatanna vest. I had a vest that came with a pair of pants from several years ago – I think I wore the vest once and decided I looked like a waitress LOL but I found it when unpacking so I thought it would make a cute vest…
