    Edith photoshoot!!

    Sorry I haven’t posted in (checks) 10 days! My website’s server has been up and down… looks like it’s finally stable again now. Plus I haven’t really had much to post; haven’t sewn much in the past 2 weeks. I’m hoping to finish cleaning up my sewing room this weekend and get back to work. So let’s see, what has…

    Last couple of new sets

    Got the last two sets uploaded – Ozma and Ame-Comi Wonder Woman! Really happy with how Ozma turned out. I really like how the new fluffy Anna Valerious wig looks with this costume, as opposed to the flatter, straighter wig I always used for it. And… the wand. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my Ozma wand was missing,…

    When UPS says your package will arrive 4/14, hands off to USPS on 4/13 and they scan it twice but it never shows up USPS THIS IS WHY NOBODY LIKES YOU Anyway, I got a couple more sets of the new photos uploaded… Bespin Escape Leia! Nice to mark this one off the list – now I just have one…

    New Stuff!!

    The photoshoot Saturday went pretty good! We managed to get through all 8, but I almost stopped after 6. I was exhausted. But after a little nap and dinner, I was able to pull together and finish the last 2. I’ve got 4 of them up so far: Imperial Officer: Played around with a couple of different hairstyles for this…

    Misadventures in Attempting to Wear Old Costumes

    So prepping for this weekend’s photoshoot has consumed my entire week. But before I dig into that, I guess I should show the results of my Anna Valerious wig re-curling: It’s not perfect but I am pretty darn happy with it, and it’s miles ahead of where it started out. I may wear it for Ozma too, instead of the…

    Disgust photos!

    Besides uploading all my Disney photos, I also got my Disgust photoshoot pictures up! Super happy with how these came out. Here’s a few favs… And I have my portfolio updated with the construction stuff!

    Last few pics + Leia Hair

    First up, the last few from the photoshoot – Magik, Johanna and Romana I. Romana was towards the end because dumbing down the white backdrop to total white was difficult around those feathers. Over the years some dings and scratches and paint peels have occurred on my Magik armor… and I really like it, I wish I had more of…

    MORE!

    Queen Aelsa… (not Elsa) Donna Noble, Fires of Pompeii. This needed a photoshoot since I redid the trim and fixed a few problems earlier this year – then I took no photos of it at Dragon Con. Queen Hippolyta, long overdue for a white backdrop shoot Hippolyta could use a big overhaul. Repainting, fixing some broken parts with more than…

    A couple more

    I got Rogue as Ms Marvel and Leia comic book suit uploaded last night: The Rogue as Ms Marvel shots aren’t great, we shot those really fast because I didn’t want the glue for the mask to set and mess up my make-up. But at least I got them. Really happy with the Leia shots though! Tonight I’m hoping to…

    Thanksgiving and Photoshoot!

    So Tuesday last week I had a sore throat, Wednesday I had no voice. Thursday day I felt OK just tired and I had started coughing. Now it’s turned into a little cold and I’ve been hacking up a lung for the past couple of days. But beyond that, Thanksgiving was nice. We had the family lunch and then went…

    ANNE PICTURES!

    I finally got my Anne Boleyn pictures uploaded! I have a ton that I love so narrowing them down to only 4 to post isn’t going to cut it. Last night I dreamt that Ash and I went to Anime Expo. We’re heading into this really cool convention center (not where it actually is, or was) and the weather is…

    Anne stuff

    So I still don’t have my Anne pics uploaded just yet. Normally when we do a photoshoot, I go through the photos, remove any jumble from the background, lighten it, and I’m done. But I’m having trouble with the Anne pics. Not because it’s a white dress on a white background – though that doesn’t really help – but because…

    New pics!

    I’ve actually already got these uploaded on their individual portfolio pages, but I was waiting til I had the Anne pics uploaded for making a blog post… but I want to post them now and it’s my blog so I do what I want. Megara: It’s not like I didn’t already have nice pics of this costume (I love the…

    Peggy photoshoot

    First off, apologies for having a half-finished FAQ Friday post up here Friday/Saturday! I had scheduled it to post Friday but never got around to finishing it, and forgot to move it. I’ll try to finish it up for this Friday! Friday evening Chase & I did a quick photoshoot of my Peggy costume. We started out with the standard…

    Dressform Pics – Last bit

    Here’s the last few I didn’t have uploaded yet yesterday. Anne was a bit too big to properly spread out the train. Did the best I could in the space I had. I was surprised I was able to get Johanna’s shirt on the dressform at all, but somehow I did. And I’m amazed the collar piece fit. (Early on…

    Dressform Pics

    Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

    Saturday craziness

    So Chase was supposed to have gone out of town this weekend, and I planned on a massive clean-up of my sewing room. My sewing room was a LITTLE messy after I got back from Dragoncon, but I dumped all my boxes and bins in there when we got home and it stayed like that. Then I had to dig…

    New Belle Photos

    A couple of weeks ago, I had planned to do an outdoor location photoshoot with Chasing Photography of my new Belle ballgown. Well, we got rained out. So, to make up for it, we did a white backdrop shoot of four of my Belle costumes! I’ve updated each of my portfolio pages with some of my favourites 🙂

    Pic Upgrades

    Yall have seen me mention I’m going through old pics and replacing them with newer, bigger versions. Here’s an example. When I first took these in 2009, I rushed to throw them up online and didn’t really take too much care with them – they were too contrasty. I also only uploaded them at 600 px tall – sometimes using…
