Sleeper! Hux
On Tumblr - search Sleeper! Hux and ParttimeDragon will pop up and their stuff is amazing! LOVE THE ARTWORK! I made this in two days with stuff I had laying about the sewing room, the mask is down in the basement right now wet with spray paint. I don't want to repost any work BUT its all on tumblr and I am smitten with this design for General Hux being a sleeper Knight of Ren.
Still needs a few details, I can not wait to take some good photos and show Parttimedragon. <3 <3
Sgt. Barnes
I did a test fit the other day for the Bucky costume and I was super happy with the way it had out. Somethings need to be fixed and still missing some small pieces of the costume. BUT we are almost done and ready for Super Mega Fest in the April.

Everyone wants a bad boy
Steve Rogers : "Everyone wants a bad boy." (stated at some point, idk)
Sam Wilson : "Yeah Rogers, Not an assassin tho."
----------------
Silly dialogue I found on tumblr somewhere.
I did JUST finish the jacket and I am super happy with it, the snaps are so much fun. I think I'm gonna leave them silver for fun.
I'll post more photos tomorrow with the rest of the costume on.

Strangers like me
Updates on the grey warden
Also some Bucky WIP shots. this is the first arm, I didn't follow a template just kinda winged it. I'm going do some paint tests and then work on the final arm. I think its a pretty good test run. Plus flippin' tiny arms and no muscle. lol

| SO MANY! |
We are slowly getting there. soon soon.
So here are a few quick photos I JUST took on the dress form. I know I went over board with the studs on the collar, there is supposed to be a larger gap on the top and bottom. BUT oh well gone to far now. Maybe in the future I will replace the collar.
we are up to 4,240 metal studs.

Ajax
I have been throwing myself into projects from costuming to work projects, which is keeping me busy. Update on Anime Boston this year : I will not be going but I do have a few friends that are attending, I keep playing with the idea of going up for Sunday or Saturday night and stay with a friend. BUT it is a BIG IF. I'd love to surprise some people but I'm not sure yet.
V-day was fun. I'm finally getting to watch season three of Hannibal. I really, really do not want this series to end. And can we talk about how much that WHOLE cast ships Hannigram. Awesome. I do believe Hannibal "Mads" and Will "Hugh" won a best couple award from the network the show is on. Tho they changed it to "best friends" I laughed pretty hard at that.

Finally updates on the Grey Warden from Dragon Age Inquisition. We are up to 3,200 metal studs and I just ordered more. The back of the jacket is just about done, I have not taken an pictures in awhile but I will. I've also been working on a gender-bender Bucky Barnes, its a cosplay team-up with my friend Emmy (and maybe the ladies if I bug them enough to join the dark side <3).
Please ignore that ugly pink sink and my derpy, lets take a selfie face. Its the first arm I did and I am going to re-do. still getting used to working with foam and it is really fun! But practice makes prefect, right?
I also got to help out a friend who in a rush to bang out a costume for a little group event he was going to. Its not prefect and needs to be re-done BUT it worked and he was help with it. BONUS he got to learn how to kinda sew. Baby steps but I enjoyed the team-up. Even if he is our Iron Man. #teamcap #wintersolider

May the Force be with you.
My father past away yesterday. We had Sunday dinner with my parents, aunt, uncle, my brother and his girlfriend. Every Sunday we have family dinner but this time we were celebrating my bothers 28th birthday. It was fun, my dad has some health problems and get dizzy when he sits up for all short periods of time, so when he is at family dinner its not for a long time, but we do all hang out in the living room and watch bad TV or play card games. Sunday night was like any other Sunday night. The boyfriend and I went out with a couple of friends that night to get drinks, got home around midnight.
I woke up to a call from my sister at 2:43am. She sounded panicked and her voice was wet as she told me that I didn't to get to the hospital now something had happened to dad. And the first thing that runs through my head is that I have to work this morning, unfortunately I said it out loud and my sister yelled at me and said just call out. So I send my boss a text message, explaining myself and that I would call back later with more information.
We get to the hospital, I've never been to one before. I can see a ton of people waiting in the sitting area, its 3 in the morning. My boyfriend tells the woman at the desk who we are looking for because at this point my throat is just closed. The woman takes us through these doors and halls, I felt like I was in a maze, until we get to this hallway and I see my mum standing against a wall crying, my sister is opposite of her hugging her husband sobbing. I hug my mom and asked what is going on? but I don't get a response just the tightest hug ever. The doctor comes and pulls my mum away with paperwork she needed to fill out and I turn to my sister and wrap my arms around her and my brother-in-law and we sob together, at some point my brother and my cousin (he is my brother from another mother) join us from a small room and everyone is hugging.
I've never felt so sick in my life and it came in waves. Nothing felt real yesterday, like a bad dream that your still waiting to wake up from. We stayed at the hospital till 5:55am, we laughed, we cried, and we laughed again. The family went back to my parents home and tried to progress what was going on.
My boyfriend and I finally left around 6:45ish after my mother told us to get some sleep and my sister threatened to kill me if I went into work. So we slept for a few hours and than went back to my parent's house. Friends and family where there, everyone had bought food and sweets. It was a big party, like Christmas eve all over again.
I'm not sure if typing all this out has made me feel any better, but if you asked me to talk about it I probably couldn't, my throat gets all tight when I try and it just turns ugly from there.
My dad is the person who always encouraged me (and everyone) to believe in themselves, that it was okay to be strange and different from the rest. He is my inspiration when I'm drawing, painting, writing and sewing. When it came to costumes, he loved the idea that we put the time and effort into making them. He is a strange old man, but his heart was huge.
My dad always told us that we were the best thing he ever made in this world, and that he didn't even have much to do this that, our mum did most of the work. May the force be with you Dad.
