OH HEY! It's THIS thing! Forgot I had this thing. Well, it's summer time, and as soon as I get some more monies, it means it's CRAFTING TIME! Mostly, I'm planning for new cosplays for D*con, but I'm sure there will be some random projects in between. Currently I've got two new costumes lined up:
~Princess Bubblegum of Adventure Time
~And that super secret costume that I may have mentioned that you don't get a photo of. :P
Other potential projects involve another Jake the Dog plush and I'll probably work on my ongoing Conbat project.
Not much else to say other than it really sucks when you step on a picture frame you just bought. Don't put frames on the floor, kids.
Soo. Spent a large part of my day yesterday sewing up the Emily blouse, finding out how much of a bitch collars are, etc, only to find out that it's too small! WHO'DA THUNK?! I apparently just need to shut up, and do what the pattern tells me to do. So, I'll have to get more fabric and start over. Woooo...
In other news, I've got another project to add to the list, a seeecret Christmas present project.
So we've got now:
~Emily blouse (general wear and for Femme!Conrad costume for Halloween {If I get it done by then.})
~Doc Worth jacket (future cosplay and, let's face it, it's awesome)
~Secret Xmas project
~Veser hoodie (for Dragon*Con next year, but that likely won't get tacked until the summer)
Still have to get pictures of the Adelaide and "Float On" hoodies.
No photos from this year's Dragon*Con yet, but I'm already starting to make plans for next year.
Yeah. You heard me.
~I intend to do Doc Worth once again, because he's just too damn fun!
~Also in store will be Veser Hatch! Because I think I'll be a more convincing 19 yr old.
~A TARDIS dress is also in order, as well has having to construct a femme!Doctor outfit for a friend.
~And I'll probably have one day for myself. Because it's always good to be yourself. If not myself, then a femme!Conrad will probably get done. Or Worth or Ves again.
There are also plans for an eventual steampunk Doc Worth, but that's not until the future.
A few other sewing projects that'll likely make it here as well:
~An Adelaide hoodie that I've been wanting for some time.
~And, of course, the evolution of the Conbat. Once I finally make a version I'm proud of, I'll do a whole post on his development.
~And plushies, should I start on those aggravating bastards again.
~A new edition to my list of junk to do, Hanna's hoodie from this image, because all it would take is a hoodie and some paint. Yay for easy!
So yeah, fun stuff in store, kiddies. Stick around!
As I said I'd do, here's a post with costumes I've put together thus far.
This was a pirate costume I made for last year's convention, though I'm not wearing it this year. Mum helped quite a lot with the sewing, though I intended to do it all myself.
This is my Triana Orpheus costume that I put together for a project in my Visual Rhetoric class back in Dec '09. Only thing I sewed here was the skirt, and I hand stenciled the shirt. Wearing this in Atlanta in December was not one of my best ideas. Had a lot of fun trekking around Atl with a friend of mine who took the pics, though. This one is coming with me to D*con this year. Wee!
My costume for Doc Worth, from the awesomely awesome webcomic Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name. Also being worn to D*Con this year. Again, only thing really sewn here was the coat, which was adapted from a Publix deli coat. This coat gave me a looot of trouble, and is, in fact, the second one I had to make after the first (which was a converted Kroger meat coat) suffered a horrible, hole-creating accident thanks to a particularly bad episode of LOST season 6. I hate having to take pictures of myself. I'll be sure to upload photos of me taken by other people after the con. XD
Lastly, I whipped up a Finn costume (Finn, from the ever mathematical Adventure Time!). I'm not entirely sure how much of it I'm going to wear. I maaay just bring the awesome hat. We'll see, I guess.
