@travelagent(Enjoy your Trip!)
Jan. 6th, 2009 01:59 pmI don't want to work today, and it's only Tuesday. ;_; I'm really tired, though - I couldn't fall asleep last night for some reason, so I laid in bed until at least 4am wishing that I was asleep. :x
Been working on Bad Girl; the sleeves are attached, which is a major accomplishment since it somehow took me more tries than it should have. XD Tonight is the ruffles on the collar and maybe the lacing up the back. Then I need to re-cut out a few pieces for the skirt (ahaha, the problem with striped fabric is that if you want the stripes to all be vertical, you can't cut out a circle skirt in one piece. I know this now. XD) and figure out how to make it stand out like hers does. I'm thinking either interfacing, boning, or a petticoat, the latter of which would be easiest but the least accurate since she doesn't wear one. Jennie, any preferences? I think I mentioned this to you before, and you were okay with a petticoat? You might be able to pick one up at Goodwill or something down by you if that's the case, but I could also look for one or just make it. Otherwise I'll experiment with other ways to make her skirt defy gravity. XD;
I think for Megacon, I'm going to make Gwen (Cooper) and possibly Padme... I really, really want to be Ahsoka but I'm still stumped on how to make her headtails. I'm thinking some kind of lightweight base, then fabric covered with liquid latex? I've never worked with liquid latex before, I don't know if it'll do what I'm envisioning anyway. I've been poking around a couple Star Wars costuming sites for ideas, but I haven't looked really seriously. Maybe I should start. XD; FX Show is really late this year, maybe I could get her done for that.
I feel horrible that there aren't any anime costumes I'm dying to make. D: Maybe Anya? Or older!Setsuna? I'm not into any series too hardcore at the moment, fail~
Also, I have started thinking in Mando. Just phrases here or there, but I'm so doing it. This can't be a good sign. XD
Okay. I suppose I should get back to work now. Time to read some papers on how to analyze Spitzer data! Please don't be hard to do. D:
