Dragoncon Thoughts

So yes, I'm doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat's room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I'm thinking of taking: Bespin Leia - still need to tweak it Mon Mothma TFA Blue ...

go, and never darken my towels again

I'm breaking this up into sections so I don't forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I've done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here's Kylo Ren: whatever Here's Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started out with a much different sketch - more of a static, ...

Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con - not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker.

Dragon Con Photos Round One

We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...

Holy crap is it heavy. But everything is ...

The Disney and the DragonCon

I haven't posted much lately... haven't had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma's for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I'd do it... I did it)... this time I wasn't messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got at Megacon on, too. Ash and I watched Paolo Garbanzo ...

Ren Faire, boredom, and packing

I've never had free time in August. It's so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better for us so we just grabbed umbrellas and went. I ...

Dragon Con 2002 Look Back

I know I've done similar before... and this won't be just a rehashing of my original "con report." A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, "oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a skirt, so I wore jeans and did nothing with my ...
