It's been busy lately, but mostly because my husband keeps getting me to try new video games that I then get hooked on playing. For instance, I have Europa 1400--The Guild running in the background as I type this.
Anyway, I finished the 50's dress and am waiting on some decent pictures of it. The dress came out pretty well, though I wish we had found a print for it that would have looked appropriate. I have seen some pictures of the dress on the commissioner, and the fit looked pretty good at the end.
Next up is a double play in preparation for Mechacon. First up is JooDee from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I am planning to have this finished for the opening of The Last Airbender movie, but I am also using various fabric that I already have so I am not sure how authentic it will end up looking. I've cut out the material for the robe, but have yet to find a decent full body picture for the outfit. As such, I'm unsure what the bottom (or pants) look like.
Second is Jeane from Suikoden--that is the first Suikoden video game. My goal is to complete the outfit at least by the convention. As I am a bit strapped for cash right now, I will not be able to get the wig or contacts needed to complete this character. I am finished with the basic dress and only need to finish the "armory" jewelry pieces and the shoes. If time and funds permit, I may make her staff as well as her earrings. I'm working on the first one.
So that's what's coming up. In addition, I am working on some "on-going" Star Wars costumes, namely Mara Jade stuff and Ysanne Isard.
