wonder woman
Below you’ll find my blog posts about my two Wonder Woman costumes, my Alex Ross version in 2007 and my classic version in 2009.

happy friday
1. Got my car fixed. I won’t go into the whole story but it’s been having this “burping” problem since right before Celebration. We drove to Orlando and back with the “burping” – realized we did need to get it looked at but put it off until it died on me in traffic last week. Took it in Tuesday. $345…

New old pictures
So I’m still doing my little project of going back through old pictures and uploading new versions. I thought I’d share some of the more interesting ones, including some I’ve never had uploaded in the first place. Here’s my fourth lake dress that I made in 2008 – I’ve only ever had 3 pictures of this costume uploaded, though we…

Spin-a-thon Photos
Last Saturday we did a Spin-a-thon event in MS – Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-man along with some 501st troopers, and we did photo-ops and cheered on the spinners, so it was fun. I wore Wonder Woman which I haven’t worn since 2010. I hated my old wig so I wore my Johanna wig, since I hadn’t started styling it…

2010 wrap-up, 2011 plans
So at the end of 2009, this is what I said I wanted to accomplish this year: 1. Bespin Leia – still not a thing done 🙂 dang it. 2. Belle’s Ballgown – same. 🙂 dang it. 3. Batgirl – nope. dropped it due to $$. 4. Belle’s Christmas Dress – nope. just never got to it. 5. Ame-Comi Black…

A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!
Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

MTAC 2010, Trooping, Photoshoots… etc!
(This post may seem a little repetitive – this was ported over from my livejournal and recapped a lot of stuff I’d recently posted on my blog. Now that my LJ posts are part of my blog, it’s very redundant!) A recap of recent costume-y stuff… MTAC came and went and we got stranded there an extra day because of…

Photoshoot: Anne Boleyn, Wonder Woman, etc
I’m a pic posting machine! That’s the last of them, though. Four sets of photos is a lot to upload when the uploader on flickr doesn’t work right for me! I’ve still got Huntsville pics and our cruise pics to upload soon. I’m not going to rush, though – I’ve got a lot of sewing to do. Which brings me…

Then and Now: Wonder Woman
Got my Selene and Wonder Woman photoshoot pics uploaded to smugmug tonight. Just got Anne Boleyn left to upload. A comparison… The difference between 2007 and 2009… 2007 was a store bought corset with metal chestpiece, vs 2009 hand-made bodice with chestpiece sculpted off my bodycast. I’m not hating on my older version at all, I was going for two…

MidSouthCon 2010 found pics!
Went out with the girls last night – got home around 2am-ish. But even before that I felt a migraine coming on. I did everything I could to divert again but no luck, around 4am it kicked into high gear. Blah… and here I’d gone nearly 5 weeks without one. today’s sketch is Rogue. I don’t know when I did…

MidSouthCon 2010 pics
Our pics are here. There’s not a lot – I spent most of my time at the con either in the dealer’s room or in panels 🙂 I got my helmet for my Jane costume today, too. It’s a little too big, but it’ll do for now.

MidSouthCon 2010 pics!
As I said there weren’t very many – but what Chase did take is here. I’m hoping to find a few pics of me as Hoth Leia from friday night to add to that set. Here’s a few of interest… A neat flying pirate ship, and me as Snow White… One of the panels. And a bunch of Wonder Woman…

Wonder Woman updates
I didn’t have any artwork to post yesterday, as I warned earlier. I should hopefully have something to post tonight, but with MidSouthCon going on I didn’t have time to get caught up. In the meantime, here’s a Wonder Woman 🙂 Ok, first off – it was COLD. After a week of weather in the sunny 60s, it was grey,…

digging up costume pieces
I made a new header. It’ll do for now. Anyway, tonight I spent digging out costume pieces. Half of my costume stuff is still at my parent’s house. So trying to figure out what I have to wear is difficult. I do have all of Wonder Woman, so long as Chase finishes my chestpiece and belt, and found everything for…

2009 Year in Review!
what I finished, what I didn’t get to, and 2010… Here’s what I said at the end of 2008 that I’d like to do in 09… 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia – HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I – yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary – yes 4.…

Dragoncon 2009 Recap
I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

3 days left… costume updates
I can’t believe Dragoncon is upon us, and I can’t believe how little I’ve posted this past month. I guess it’s just been everything going on and the slight weirdness of not being in my own place while working. (On that note, though, it looks like we’re closing on the house the day after we get back from Dragoncon. Kinda…

Black Canary and Wonder Woman updates
Here’s a pic I missed yesterday: My Wonder Woman bodice, and the start of my classic Black Canary suit. AND! Here’s my finished Black Canary jacket: Seriously the easiest thing I’ve ever made. I had it started and finished in one night.

dragoncon updates!!
Well I haven’t done much better about posting, have I? I finally took some progress pics so I actually have something to post today. Rogue (age of apocalypse version) is at about 75% done. From the top down… I’ve still got to trim the wig a little. I’m really happy with what I bought for it – the white part…

Wonder Woman bodice!
My Wonder Woman bodice is pretty much finished! Just needs a few tweaks and some velcro added for the chestpiece and belt.

Anne Boleyn & other updates
Got the bodice put together on the big green thing, it was giving me fits last night, about to drive me crazy. I think I’ve got enough leaves from the last poison ivy leftover to do the next. It doesn’t need as many leaves. I’ve got the bodysuit to dye, I think I’m going to have to go buy a…
