    KC WW, Endor Leia, Boushh, and Marasiah Progress

    Chase clear-coating the Wonder Woman helmet sculpt again before it gets cast. My endor trooper Leia helmet donut as it was yesterday evening – since then it’s been weathered and the red/yellow symbol added. Still needs a bit more weathering, but I’m very pleased. Boushh helmet getting its first shot of paint. Like the endor donut, this has since been…

    Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Helmet progress

    Here’s a few more pics of the WW helmet in progress, plus a pic of our workroom I left out. Chase started the sculpt over a year ago – we were hoping to finish it for Dragoncon 2006. Around this time last year we realised there was no way we were going to get it done, so it sat around…

    Progress & Schedules

    Well, I wrote out my packing list last night. And right now I’m apparently trying to take 18 costumes to Dragoncon. So, it’s gotta be cut somewhere. At least by 3. I’m ok taking 15, but not 18! Anyway – I haven’t done much lately. Work has been absolutely exhausting this week (I’ve been the only one in the back…

    HP Book Release, KC WW Helmet!

    Been busy with Harry Potter stuff — no pics from the bookstore party, since I forgot to get my camera out of the car. I wore Hermione and burnt up, since we ended up standing outside in line most of the night. There weren’t many interesting costumes, either — we had a really good Snape there, an Umbridge, and… a…

    Updates & Ewok Village Leia Pics!

    I’ve been pretty well KO’ed by sinus mess for a week and a half or so now… sucks! I think it’s behind me now, though. Here’s a few quick updates… Doll Leia – got the bottom and top made, the top needs to be fixed (one side hangs funny, need to pick it out and do it again), and needs…

    Upcoming Costume Schedules

    There are five or six projects I want to work on over the winter months. Dorothy, which might hit the backburner. I was going to make it for halloween – still might – but now I’m not going to be in Memphis to do the group with everybody that weekend so it kinda makes it pointless. However, I might go…

    Wonder Woman delay, Mando updates

    A bit of bad news – though sort of good news for me, as I was really worried about it – Wonder Woman will not be ready for Dragoncon. I had originally not intended her for Dragoncon anyway – but Chase thought we could get it finished so we tried. But now it’s come down to the final hour… and…

    Corde, WW, Mando and other updates

    Handmaiden: I got the basic robe made. However I made a mistake and sewed the front together opposite – no worries, easy to fix, I’ll just take it apart and switch the sides. I’m going to do that tonight. Tomorrow night I will do the designs… tonight I will start the beading. Mando: No major progress, except I found some…
