Enchantress Work

Today marked the second full work week for me at the market and boy am I feelin' it now. Plus it doesn't help when I have a very sick boyfriend at home to take care of, so next week probably I will be JUST as sick. Can't wait!

Slowly I've been working on mutilpe costumes at a time it makes the time of waiting for items or cash for supplies to come in easier. Kinda. But right now I've been aimin' to get my Enchantress Amora (from THOR) done for Halloween. In hopes for winning the market's costume contest at work! I took first place last year with my mandalorian costume.

This is what I call my 'porn star' wig. Because back in the day with wig of all curls and full. Now three years later its not so full of life. But ever a good work through it looks pretty good. Still waiting on a few things to come in the mail to finish this costume. But for now this is the teaser shot!

"I will be his queen one day...Thor thy Love."



Jedi Jedi

So once upon a time I had this awesome Jedi costume.... Left it on the floor after an event and our cat (Guen) went to the bathroom on it. The smell of cat urine NEVER GOES AWAY! There for I had to throw away the whole oufit including the belt I custom made. Month later I finally get some time to remake the costume, not the same colors but whatever, it was fabric that I had laying about the craft room.

The only reason I blocked out my face...well no one was home and I didn't know if I was far enough back for the photo so I'm making a REALLY  strange face. hahahhahaa. Still need some work. I'm thinking about adding one more outer robe to it. Plus the NEW belt that I made was kinda fallin' apart and I was just standing still.

It looks great on the dress form tho. Oh yeah I need to get a lightsaber...the one I had wasn't really mine in the first place. I was holding it hostage from a friend who never PAID ME for a costume. grrr. The costume wasn't worth a $150 FX lightsaber buuuut it was the principle.

So this is the beginning of my Enchantress Amora costume. I havn't seen THOR yet buut I have been watching and reading the Avengers comic/cartoon shows. SUPER EXCITED! I really want to get this done for Halloween so I can wear it to work and winner the costume contest for the second time in a row! Muahahahaa!!

There is more I want to post up buuut I have no photos of my other project ready to go...yet soon but not yet.  So instead I'll leave you all with a CUTE picture of my puppy, THE GREAT POM!



Tangled - Disney

Since Tangled first came out I wanted to do a Rapunzel costume! SO BADLY! Finally I got my friend Alex to do Mother Gothical to my Rapunzel! Our plan was for ConnectiCon 2011 to have the costumes finish and by the the grace of all that is holy we did it! Now my Rapunzel outfit is a first draft, I do plan on re-doing the top half and doing more hand sewing to the bottom of the skirt pattern.

So here are some photos of what I had done, also keep in mind I kinda ran out of time to do a test fitting before the convention so I was really wingin' it. Everything was made by me. Which I'm kinda proud of its been a long time since I made something from start to finish.

As you can see not really a good fit on the top BUT I will made another and it will be prefect!!!! Oh and another time that wig was the second wig that I purchased for this costume.... because the first one wasn't long enough and it had a straw like color to it. That just goes to show one can never be to sure about Ebay, don't get me wrong I LOVE EBAY... buut sometimes it sucks.

I think once I finish upgrading this costume, I will make another Rapunzel costume... maybe not based on the movie but more the fairy tale. And work on making the wig longer and thicker.

Kobe 'Yukon' Beef

I've never had to take care of a puppy by myself, I've also never lived on my own before. BUT it has been one year since I moved out of my parent's house on September 19th, tomorrow. It doens't feel like a year, time has been moving so fast ever since high school ended. Jeez and that was in 2007.

My cousin Jaime turned 10 today.. so strange I remember when he was born. Life has flown by and that is why we must make the best of ever day that we have! Its hard to get through seeing the family of late... we always end up talking about chuck and kevin. Kevin's Cause was yesterday at the World Wide indoor soccor field in North Smithfield. It had a great turn out. We went in costume for the Mercs. Got attacked by small children. It was a great day.

Cleaned the whole apartment today, scrubbed the floors Kobe always makes a mess. I did a ton of clean on my vacation and got a bunch of work done of my costumes. Upgraded my mando just about done on the Jedi which I'll never need to take new photos to send in. Working on the belt just need velcro. I'm also working on an Enchantress - Amora costume, but need my hair to grow a bit more. The drow costume is done also than next The Blue spirit. YES!!!

First timer blogger

Hello, I should start our by telling everyone about myself... well I'm a 22 year old woman who enjoys sewing, cooking, baking, reading, and making props and costumes. I am a HUGE Star Wars nerd and currently have over 20 costumes in my collection.  Yes over 20  but not all of them star wars it ranges from power rangers to anime characters. Also I have a large wig collection and it is still growing. I used to wear them out and about all the time but sometimes its just a pain.

I started this blog to keep some kind of a record of my work in progress costumes. I did have a website but that didn't work out so well in the end. I also had a esty and ebay store but found that I was paying more than I was making. So yeah

This week I'm on vacation and to keep myself busy I made a new costume list that I wanted to get started on. Without spending a ton of money on anything, using materials that I already have and what not. On the top of the list I have Drow. Now I've been reading R.A. Salvatore books since middle school and I've been in love with Drizzt ever since! Also the idea of Drow's world is awesome! So years later I finally the time and talents to make this costume come true. I don't have enough photos of the outfit all together YET but I am getting there.

The next is Jedi, now a bit of back ground on this costume. I did have a Jedi outfit and it was aproved by the Rebel Legion (which I am a member of) BUT the car pee'd on it.... and I mean all over it. Into the trash that went and I'm starting from scratch again. So far the robes are all done now I'm working on the belt. I refuse to purchase on from the internet/ebay! 30$+ for some leather and whatnot! NA NA I say!

Again no photos but I need to find my camera!
