Resistance scum

Dyeing is a new thing!

 hey everyone so just a quick update I'm just going to post a bunch of photos from the costumes I've been working on not in any particular order. But I know there are some from Nessa we went to Halloween party there's some of Lagertha and I've been working on the resistance pilot outfit.

The resistance pilot costume has been kind of a challenge. I've been going off the reference photos from a very detailed picture of 4 pilots. And I'm kind of winging it I don't know if this will be a provable from the rebel Legion or what but I think it's coming out pretty cool. I have learned how to dye polyester and I'm getting pretty good at dyeing cotton. I had a jumpsuit that was orange and I didn't want to buy a new one so I reused this one it was just the wrong color of orange. Interstellar Orange apparently is a thing I don't know if that's an actual color but Star Wars has made it one.

Guess who's back, back again.

Hey everyone I haven't posted in a very long time and I apologize for that. September was a busy month with the bakery and was also trying to get some costume stuff done and then my sister had her baby and October. Little Charlie we're very excited the whole family's been super thrilled with this baby and life has just changed a little bit again for us. October is another fun Monday through us because it's Halloween and we get to decorate the house and playing all the spooky stuff for the kids that come trick-or-treating we were also invited to some parties so we want to all those. Hahaha.

It's also an emotional month my dad love Halloween love Halloween. And this is the first year we didn't carve pumpkins together, the first year I didn't get a phone call on Halloween from him. Just weird not having him around I know it's kind of cliché to say but you really do miss the little things.

On a positive note my brother is in Haiti right now helping out with his church. Haven't talked to him in a week which is weird but he doesn't have any service down there. He comes home on Monday and I'm super excited.

One of the parties you want to our friends Chris and his wife are huge Halloween and they do a really big haunt every year. And they've inspired us to try and do one next year maybe not as big as theirs but definitely bigger than what we've done. I'm looking forward to building some of the larger props for next year. Halloween is always been my family's favorite holiday and maybe in honor of my dad will try to do the haunt every year. Maybe work something out with doing the Food donation Bend or something in his memory.

I have been on vacation this week and I've been spending time with my sister and the baby but I've also been working on costumes. Rhode Island Comic Con is right around the corner and I know everyone's prepping for that. I'm not they doing any new costumes so I am bringing Nessa from Arrow we wore our Arrow costumes the other day to a party. It went over pretty well I still need a bow though.

Again I am sorry that I haven't been posting it's very much unlike me I would like to have more posted last year and so forth. So I might go to posting frenzy this month.

Thanks for reading and thanks for watching and I'm sure I'll be updating on the regular now

Not all bad

Hey everyone so again I've been really bad at staying up with posting and showing work in progress updates. So here is going to be another photo dump of everything I've been working on for the past 3 weeks and I think I'm going to be updating the cake page 2. We did a few new things in the bakery so that needs to be updated.

There are also some new costume plans in the works with some lady friends of mine that I'm pretty excited to start. It's been a pretty crazy month in the bakery so I've been busy and my sister's baby shower was also over this weekend.

Inquisitor

Hey everyone I have an update in awhile with actual words. Only pictures. But finish is almost done I'm just waiting on some leggings and some clear sandals and then I think we're going to do the nosepiece again and do a test fit sometime next week.

We didn't go to Boston Comic Con that was over the weekend way too hot and thought we'd save some money by not killing ourselves in the heat.

I started working with foam again I decided that I was going to try to make a helmet. The helmet from Dragon Age Inquisition the inquisitors helmet I got a free pattern off of the Evil Ted Smith Channel on YouTube. You should go check them out if you're going to start working with foam. He really knows his stuff and he's a good teacher watch all those videos over and over again

It was pretty hard again I don't have a lot of experience working with phone never mind making a dome shape so it was kind of a trial-and-error a lot of failure but I like the way that only come out in the end it's not perfect butt it works

I wasn't really planning on doing anything else with the helmet other than just make it just to see if I could but then I start looking online and I saw a lot of people doing Inquisitor armor and I found one that I really like from the guy had really good pictures of how we made it so I'm going to go ahead and make an Inquisitor costume. So get ready for that

Fenris WIP

The last day of relaxation

Hey everyone. I've been on vacation this whole week and I haven't got a whole lot done with costuming. I have been working on Fenris and I need to make a cape 4 Thor but that isn't due till the 12th of August

We went to a wedding over the past weekend my mother-in-law got married and hopefully I have some pictures soon just short on my dress but I only have a silly photo that I took in the mirror sums up my personality pretty well.
