imagine a world where time has no meaning
because that is the world I am living in. It’s like time stopped in March and there is nothing to delineate the days from each other except some days I have to sit at a work computer in one room and some days I lay on the couch with my switch. Like I go outside and it’s like… how is…

Superman celebration pics and updates
Sorry I haven’t posted, I’ve been working a lot recently, trying to get as much done for Dragoncon as possible; plus my laptop crashed last week! (Chase managed to save it) Here’s the whole gallery of Superman Celebration pics. I don’t remember what I said in my last post so I’m sorry if I repeat anything! Friday we got out…

Wizard scan
I didn’t get around to scanning the magazine last night – but thanks to tetsuyacasshern on LOH I can at least give a sneak peek 🙂 Still going to scan my copy, so I’ll post a better version probably when I start posting pics from the photoshoot today. Speaking of which, we’re off!

More Adventurecon 2008 Pics
Ok, here’s the rest of the adcon pics! Friday was a looooooooong drive. Even though we left earlier than we planned, it stormed really hard during the drive, and then we were stuck in standstill traffic for at least an hour about halfway there. We finally got there around 8 that night, got checked and our stuff up to the…

2007 in review
Well since I’m mostly done for the year – outside of my little secret project – I’m gonna go ahead and post this. I’ve had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish… keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn’t proposed yet and changed a…

Sunday Parthenon Shoot
We got up Sunday morning, got packed up and set off to the Parthenon. We had quite a good turn out! Besides me and Chase, we also had Supergirl, Poison Ivy, Lara Croft, slave Leia and Boba Fett. So we had a great time taking pics. The weather was perfect, the wind was whipping (and a few times would suddenly…

Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics
The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

More Dragoncon 2007 pics
I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…

Sunday @ Dragoncon 2007
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls’ room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled – they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Sneak Peek!
Sneak peek! After this test fitting we realised a few things needed fixed – namely the straps of the shinguards around the ankles were too small (wouldn’t close at all), the foam inside them needed to be trimmed, and we needed to add extra straps to the wing harness, at the top. We’ve done all those except the addition to…

Boushh Preview Pic!
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don’t like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So…

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Updates, KC WW, Boushh, Endor Leia
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today — get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for…
-
KC WW stuff, Boushh, etc
Boushh pants are nearly done! I like how they look. They really just need weathering, now. Chase worked on the helmet for a long time last night, too. He got most of the leather on, I think. We’re still fighting with the cummerbund pieces, though… hopefully we’ll get them done soon. I worked on WW for a long time last…

Progress, KC WW, Padme
Finally finished all the colouring on the stupid cape. Really, had to make myself stop – I keep messing with this thing for forever, but I don’t have time for it. Now i just need to finish up all the bloody sequins and sewing the lining in, and fix the neckline on the dress, and it’s finished. That’s basically all…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Helmet
Ok I lied, Chase took pics this morning. Still needs the chin added. This is what he says about it: “Ok, here are the finals of what I will call the stunt helmet. This version has some very flexible plastic feathers to permit her to wear it over a wig and give slightly when she turns her head as the…

Updates on everything, KC WW, Boushh, etc
I did not get as much done this weekend as I would have liked, but things are coming along. One thing I didn’t get a picture of was my upgraded Wonder Woman tiara – I finally found a star the right size and shape, and Chase painted it and attached it last night, and buffed the whole thing. I still…

to-do list 8/13/07
Aw. Marasiah and doll Leia may have to be on hold. I haven’t done anything with them in ages, and I’ve got so much left to do on everything else, I don’t know when I’d have time to finish them right now. I worked on my Boushh pants some more yesterday, got my boots painted, worked on the boot tops,…

Endor Leia, Boushh, KC WW Progress Pics
A new batch of progress pics. Spikes for my Boushh gloves came yesterday… My endor donut (with the unattached bill sitting underneath it), base helmet I need to finish and one of my Boushh boot tops that isn’t finished. More Boushh Boushh armour about to be painted. KC WW helmet molds Endor poncho yesterday, drying in the sun before getting…

Progress on everything
well, i can no longer get on the internet at home, something is wrong with my laptop’s wireless thingie. I can use dad’s computer, though, but I hate being cooped up in the computer room. I suppose it’s a blessing – keeps me working. Endor Leia – finished sewing the pleated section on the base helmet – donut is finished,…
