    a long overdue update

    (EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

    Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans

    Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

    when i went to midsouthcon with cat

    So anyway, onto more interesting things, I have been at MidSouthCon all day. It’s been fun! Padme has held up well. I’m at my aunt’s house now, waiting on Cath to catch up to me. She’s going to put on Leia, and I’m going to change into my first Padme (the rainbow lake one) and we’re going to head back.…

    blood

    man, if there’s one thing I like about my new laptop, it’s that I opted for the card reader. I can take a pic with my old digital camera and then just stick the memory card in and there it is! yay! so much easier than it used to be… my point: I just tried this Mehron 3-D gel on…

    Battle Padme = done

    Padme is finished! Well, mostly. I cut the rips on the back tonight, repainted the armbands, hemmed the sleeves and took up the boot covers. I painted the boot covers yesterday. I just wish I had better boots to wear underneath them, but I can’t afford to buy new boots right now when I have a pair that will do.…

    Battle Padme updates

    I finished the basic top for Padme last night. I need to attach the sleeve, do the rips on the back and make the hem look a little more ragged. For the pants, I still need to add the elastic to the top. (cause otherwise they won’t stay up) I need to make my boot covers, and alter my belt,…

    AoA Shadowcat wig

    I lucked into finding a great wig for it a couple of weeks ago. I finished the pants for Padme last night, but the fabric ended up being a LOT thinner than it originally looked like it was going to be. I’m going to have to make a second pair to wear underneath them.

    upcoming schedules…

    Dude I have really messed around getting ready for MTAC. I messed up on my pre-reg, I messed up on getting an art table, and now I’m not going to have a new costume. 😛 I’m hardly going to have time to finish Padme for MidSouthCon weekend after next, and I forgot I have to finish my cousin’s Link costume…

    when i went over my schedule

    Argh. I came over here to write something important, and now I’ve forgotten it. Must have not been too important. So I’ll do something else. Got my Katsucon prereg confirmation today. We’re flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won’t be doing any…
