  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, outside of my Otake wig being &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;crooked&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; ::face palm:: when I put it on all went well with that costume. &amp;nbsp;Have to give the roommate major props for wrangling me into my obi; apparently not as easy as I assumed it would be. &amp;nbsp;Ironically got NO pictures taken of me by anyone not in my group, it was quite odd, but oh well. &amp;nbsp;But that&apos;s okay, next con is about three weeks out, and those costumes are all done and I just have to figure out which three I&apos;m actually taking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working on redoing WFCatherine&apos;s top, it was a bit misfitted last time, and this time I&apos;d like to not have to be always pulling it up. &amp;nbsp;Really all I have left is to trim the top, attach ribbons and decorate like a bedazzling idiot. &amp;nbsp;Heh, bedazzled. &amp;nbsp;Then after that I&apos;m making Aurora&apos;s crown for Katchan, Yaichi and Undertaker for Fanime. &amp;nbsp;Go meeeeeeeee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, yes, I&apos;m&amp;nbsp;grateful&amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve got lots of commission, but I&amp;nbsp;swear, the next one that bitches I&apos;ve nto &apos;asked for any information&apos; after I&apos;ve TOLD THEM I won&apos;t ask for it until April I will&amp;nbsp;bitch-slap&amp;nbsp;them. &amp;nbsp;Hard. &amp;nbsp;OH, and may have 1-3 more commissions once May ends, muahahahah!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=7333&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>We are not amused</title>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;I apparently suck at Momware(traditional japanese hairstyle). &amp;nbsp;A lot. &amp;nbsp;I now get to take it all down, put more fiber into it and try again. &amp;nbsp;Did I mention the first try took six hours? &amp;nbsp;Yeah, it did. &amp;nbsp;The upside is that like Marlena&apos;s wig I&apos;ll spray it down with water as I fix it to unfix the hairspray which makes redoing it easier in a way. &amp;nbsp;Downside is we&apos;re going to be fostering a shiba coming monday which means I may not get a lot done with a dog in the house. &amp;nbsp;It&apos;s not yet warm enough to be in the dungeon for long bits of time and I somehow see me ending up being primary caretaker.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, attempting to cut apart my sandals for Otake today...everyone pray I come back with all my fingers. &amp;nbsp;I asked the roommate to do them over a month ago and nada, so I&apos;m being proactive. &amp;nbsp;In theory all I need to do is cut them the right&amp;nbsp;length, sand the edges, drill three holes and run lacing. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m screwed.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=7144&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>It Lives!</title>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;:: Dragging body back onto site::&lt;br /&gt;Uhm. &amp;nbsp;Yeah. &amp;nbsp;Hi. &amp;nbsp;Did I mention I was bad at posting with any regularity? &amp;nbsp;Cause I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, 2010 is done ::kicks that corpse:: and I&amp;nbsp;succeeded&amp;nbsp;in finishing MOST of the costumes I had to do. &amp;nbsp;Serenity didn&apos;t happen as the site I use for my boning has been down for over a year.... &amp;nbsp;If they&apos;re no longer online I&apos;ll kill something. &amp;nbsp;And the person I&apos;m making it for has yet to order the wig extensions. &amp;nbsp;However, I finished all the others including Formal Femme Deadpool and Nightcrawler. &amp;nbsp;I also picked up a last minute character, Otake from House of Five Leaves and got her done except for the wig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now into 2011 I&apos;ve&amp;nbsp;forsworn&amp;nbsp;making any new costumes as I plan to attend Fanime and have to save up for that. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m already to the point of getting the badge and the plane ticket by the end of this month, so the rest will just be the hotel room and spending money. &amp;nbsp;The good news there is apparently I&apos;m getting slammed with commission work this year. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve already finished three commissions, have three others and we&apos;re just in February! &amp;nbsp;So, if this continues I might be able to hit one other out of state con this year. &amp;nbsp;Crossin&apos; digits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next on my To Accomplish list is Otake&apos;s wig. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m lace fronting the whole thing, so really would it be Lace edging? &amp;nbsp;It&apos;ll be a real challenge for me since it&apos;s a traditional Japanese&amp;nbsp;up-do, and I&apos;ve not done one to date. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that I have to get my&amp;nbsp;commissions&amp;nbsp;done, one for the end of March, one for Fanime itself. &amp;nbsp;Plus a surprise for said individual. &amp;nbsp;Then we&apos;ll be into the summer and I can break the &apos;not making a new costume&apos; rule. &amp;nbsp;Since I just splurged on 15 yards of material at Denver Fabrics today. &amp;nbsp;But it&apos;s okay,&amp;nbsp;commissions&amp;nbsp;will offset the cost. &amp;nbsp;::glee::&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=6741&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;I have never, ever, had such issues with a wig! &amp;nbsp;Kouchou&apos;s wig is bound and determined not to exist! &amp;nbsp;I tried dying it and the three(really four) rounds of extensions over the last two days and it failed more miserably than anything I&apos;ve tried in years! &amp;nbsp;The extensions finally took enough dye to be declared done, but the wig base now refuses to change colors! ::beating my head against a wall:: and to top it off Sakujun&apos;s stilts broke today when I did my practice run. &amp;nbsp;Lovely. &amp;nbsp;So, now to finish/fix those, finish Serenity, and fix Sebastian. &amp;nbsp;Lovely, I work well under pressure but this is a gun to my head. &amp;nbsp;Wish me luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=6441&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>I passed but I failed...wait, what?</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/6368.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, I failed on my July challenge/costuming. &amp;nbsp;Serenity is sitting downstairs unfinished. &amp;nbsp;In my defense, not that it won&apos;t mean I didn&apos;t fail, I have to have Amanda here to fit it for 2 reasons. &amp;nbsp;1)I think I cut the bodice too high, and need to try it on to see if I can take off some of the height(which will make the spacing of the details nicer) and 2) I&amp;nbsp;purposefully&amp;nbsp;cut the hem too long so I could hem it while it was on her to just skim the ground. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately this means I&apos;ll have to get her in that outfit and work like a mad fiend to get it pinned on Saturday when I have her for a bit. &amp;nbsp;But! &amp;nbsp;I got to sacrifice a million ornaments for her, and it&apos;s so fluffy and pretty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passing part is I&apos;m already two of three wigs into August. &amp;nbsp;Sakujun I actually did last month and he&apos;s hanging around the reading room in his fabulocity. &amp;nbsp;Amy is currently on wig-head awaiting me to style out her pigtails, but she&apos;s parted, wefted, pigtailed and banged(that sounds so wrong) already, so she just needs corkscrews! &amp;nbsp;Lastly will be Kouchou, and I&apos;m feeling a bit more confident than I was previously. &amp;nbsp;Hopefully I&apos;ll make some progress on that tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, yeah, I passed but I failed! &amp;nbsp;OMG now I wanna watch Real Genius!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=6368&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/6046.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;...in a sea of organza.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I&apos;ve made many an outfit in my day. &amp;nbsp;But HOLY HELL this one may eat me! &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m only a third of the way into it and I&apos;ve already used 14 yards of fabric. &amp;nbsp;I still have to make a petticoat/tulled underskirt, detail the bodice, pleat in the skirts(there&apos;s three of them), hem said skirts, and make sleeves that defy logic and reason. &amp;nbsp;Oh yeah, FYI, doing Queen Serenity from Sailormoon. &amp;nbsp;Amanda you know this proves I love you right? &amp;nbsp;Cause, french-seaming 9+ yards of organza makes me weep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steampunk is still missing a hat and belt and front closures and busk and bias tape, but I&apos;m just done with it for now. &amp;nbsp;Yes this means I&apos;m falling behind...HOWEVER, I did tint/style Sakujun&apos;s wig, so I&apos;m down a wig for next month. &amp;nbsp;Doesn&apos;t make it even, but does make it less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m sorta costuming myself out I think. &amp;nbsp;Next year so not going to kill myself over costumes again. &amp;nbsp;Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. &amp;nbsp;Who really&amp;nbsp;believed&amp;nbsp;that?&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=6046&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>It&apos;s Gear Time!</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/5744.html</link>
  <description>Okay, so, I&apos;m a shoe fiend :: points at icon:: &amp;nbsp;And I neeeeeever get rid of shoes unless they&apos;re beyond repair or finally too small(hasn&apos;t happened in two decades). &amp;nbsp;So, digging through my shoes I laughed as I encountered shoes I&apos;d&amp;nbsp;bought/used in 9th grade that are PERFECT for my steampunk outfit. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m painting brass detailing on them, and will probably add other&amp;nbsp;things&amp;nbsp;as well, but they&apos;re soooo perfect it&apos;s insane. &amp;nbsp;And I didn&apos;t even know I still owned them! &amp;nbsp;Doesn&apos;t help that I own over 50 pair of shoes, I often forget what I have :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the rest of my outfit. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m fitting the tailed bodice today, then assembling it. &amp;nbsp;Lastly I&apos;ll mock up the hat and make that...and then I just have to wait to have money to make the belt/holster/combo unit! &amp;nbsp;I found a cute set of jewelers lenses that I&apos;ll paint, augment and attach to to my glasses and I&apos;m good to go :) &amp;nbsp;I had a mock up of a necklace I wanted made, but now I&amp;nbsp;highly&amp;nbsp;doubt it would be&amp;nbsp;feasible, it&apos;s&amp;nbsp;ridiculously&amp;nbsp;detailed. &amp;nbsp;But that&apos;s okay, and it means once I&apos;m done in a day or so I can full speed into Amanda&apos;s costume so I can stay on time. &amp;nbsp;And OMG, I love the pants I made!!! I usually suck so hard at making them, but these are too cute! &amp;nbsp;And I already put in their button holes too, go me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly laughed my ass off when my roommate said she understood that we were &apos;entering crunch time for NDK&apos;. &amp;nbsp;I informed her I&apos;m done outside of wig work for that con, and she nearly smacked me. &amp;nbsp;Woulda be sooooooooo worth it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=5744&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>I hate pants</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/5427.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Seriously, I can make just about anything else...well...okay, kimono give me a hard time too, but not like PANTS! &amp;nbsp;Argh! &amp;nbsp;Doesn&apos;t help that I&apos;m also doing things like making a yoked waistband, gathered and gartered knee breeches as my most recent foray into the dreaded pants, but still. &amp;nbsp;Thankfully, once they&apos;re done I can do the bodice and those I do easy peasy rice and cheesey. &amp;nbsp;Then onto belts and a hat and the steampunk&apos;ll be done. &amp;nbsp;I have to get Amanda out for a trial fit on Serenity, but if I want to be done on time I need to get it all together and just do alterations. &amp;nbsp;Still scares me btw. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ll take in the artbooks to work tomorrow to draw out the patterns I need to do on the top, then get crack-a-lackin&apos; on her. &amp;nbsp;Save me from my hobbies, seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#Edit#&lt;br /&gt;Okay, for crack factor did the meme that&apos;s running around, the You Write Like one.... &amp;nbsp;So, fic from years ago, I write like Davisd Foster Wallace, fic from decades ago I write like William Gibson(awesome, cyberpunk...wait, steampunk please?) and current fic I write like Leo Tolstoy...oh snap, my TB ficlets are like War and Peace??! &amp;nbsp;I do&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;that I shall LOL over this now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=5427&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Thwarted</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/5283.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, at first I figured money would be my enemy this month. &amp;nbsp;I would have to get all this fabric, which I wasn&apos;t budgeted for, but no, I found everything I needed in the dungeon. &amp;nbsp;Then I thought boning would do me in, but no, I can get i locally. &amp;nbsp;Then I realized what would do me in...the stupid busk. &amp;nbsp;The place I normally order from is completely off-line right now, and I don&apos;t have another supplier I&apos;ve used and trusted. &amp;nbsp;That&apos;s the kicker, I could find another supplier, but I don&apos;t trust easily, and I&apos;ve used my current one for nearly a decade now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, there&apos;s at least progress. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve got my corset cut out, ready for assembly. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve all the fabric for the Steampunk set except the belt materials, but that&apos;s not the hard part. &amp;nbsp;I need to draft up the hat, pants and bodice, but can&apos;t do two of the three until the corset is done and on so I can take measurements. &amp;nbsp;Amanda&apos;s is in the drafting stage, but I have all the material...and more extra organza I&apos;ve no idea what I was doing with. &amp;nbsp;So this month&apos;s goals may take me down, but I&apos;m determined! &amp;nbsp;And if all else fails I&apos;ll do wigwork, bleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#Edit#&lt;br /&gt;Too lazy to make a new post. &amp;nbsp;So, corset is as done as it can be ATM, need a busk and need to decide on the color of the binding for the top, but can&apos;t put that on until the busk is in. &amp;nbsp;However, it&apos;s assembled enough to allow for fittings and measurements. &amp;nbsp;In light of that I&apos;ve drafted up the pants...god how I hate making pants...and have them cut out and ready for assembly tomorrow. &amp;nbsp;Assuming that works out the bodice shall be drafted shortly thereafter and I shall get cracking on that. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m torn as to whether or not I want to do a jacket with this outfit. &amp;nbsp;Part of me says HELL YES ANOTHER MINIJACKET!! and yet another part says MOAR WORK??! &amp;nbsp;So we shall see. &amp;nbsp;Which reminds me, I need to find a place to get the closures I want for the bodice, I&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;they&apos;re sold more for purse clasps, but I think they&apos;d be smashing front hooks as well....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTFN from Accomplished Something World&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=5283&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Another Costume Down</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/4936.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Okay, as of right now I have to finish tacking down the back strap, and put in eyelets for Amy and she&apos;s done! &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ll go down and make up a set of tabi later, but I&apos;ve got those pinned together and ready to go. &amp;nbsp;Really all I&apos;ll have left is to epoxy on the skulls...and do the things that aren&apos;t really official for the costume. &amp;nbsp;Whoot, go me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up next I&apos;ve decided to work on my Steampunk and Amanda&apos;s Queen Serenity. &amp;nbsp;So, once again, lots of corsetry and floofyness. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m gonna do wig work as I have time and then all of August. &amp;nbsp;And if I don&apos;t get the wigs done, well honorable suicide is an option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edited for win status: &amp;nbsp;Done, hung up even, go me. &amp;nbsp;Will start pattern drafting tomorrow when I get home from work, whoot.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=4936&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;No, not bruises..well..wait...those too.... &amp;nbsp;But Amy is nearly done, I&apos;ve about twelve feet(not really, but hyperbole helps) of bias trim to sew down by hand, two buckles and&amp;nbsp;corresponding&amp;nbsp;eyelets to put on, and the butt bow. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve just realized that lately I have a lot of butt bows. &amp;nbsp;Hmm, my ass apparently likes decoration. &amp;nbsp;Oh well. &amp;nbsp;Even with giving up this weekend for FUN I should be done by next Thursday! &amp;nbsp;Whoot! &amp;nbsp;Go me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it bad I find it very suspicious when my roommate compliments my work? &amp;nbsp;Makes me wonder 1)what she wants and 2)what&apos;s wrong with it. &amp;nbsp;I are very suspicious person.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=4783&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Small Steps Forward</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/4489.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Okay, so need to grommet, once grommeting done need to lace and set up buckle locations and eyelets for lacing. &amp;nbsp;Attach the back strap/s/buckle. &amp;nbsp;Hand sew a shit ton of satin ribbon down. &amp;nbsp;Tack the core of the corset to the&amp;nbsp;outer&amp;nbsp;shell. &amp;nbsp;Hope to whatever deity I can think of it still fits in the end. &amp;nbsp;Decide if I&apos;m sticking with the shoes I have or moving on and getting the hell on those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;::bows::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still on schedule. &amp;nbsp;Seriously.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=4489&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Swear to Dog I&apos;m a Moron</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/4273.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, got the dremmel up and going, got my&amp;nbsp;lengths&amp;nbsp;of boning ground down. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m awesome right? &amp;nbsp;Not quite, managed to FUBAR to things that told me to just put Amy down and walk away. &amp;nbsp;One, went to all the trouble of carefully measuring and pinning on the lace...only to hack it three inches too short. &amp;nbsp;Solution? &amp;nbsp;Bang head repeatedly on&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;wall, rip off the lace and reapply it when not a moron. &amp;nbsp;Two, while getting&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;dremmel set up I let the skirt brush against the machine...which low and behold was storing a lovely globule of oil just waiting for such a moment! &amp;nbsp;So now I have a sewing machine oil stain riiiiiiiiiiiight on my ass. &amp;nbsp;Lovely. &amp;nbsp;I shall be testing a few stain removal options on some scrap tomorrow, wish me luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, even with these setbacks I&apos;m nearly done with her outfit. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve finished the sleeves, garters, all the components of her&amp;nbsp;necklace&amp;nbsp;and gotten her dress/top fully pinned together. &amp;nbsp;Next I shall sew the top&amp;nbsp;pieces&amp;nbsp;together, reapply the lace, and hopefully get the stain out prior to hemming the light purple layer. &amp;nbsp;Which had I been smart I should have&amp;nbsp;French&amp;nbsp;seamed that sucker. &amp;nbsp;Oh well, live and learn and do shit the hard way. &amp;nbsp;But yay for being on schedule! &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up for next month:&lt;br /&gt;Amanda&apos;s Neo Queen Serenity(this outfit scares the beejesus out of me!)&lt;br /&gt;Wigging out! IE Amy&apos;s wig, Kouchou&apos;s wig, Sakujuns wig&lt;br /&gt;And if I still have time/sanity&lt;br /&gt;Red Mars Elissa&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pray for me internets.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=4273&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Things are going, and going...</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/3878.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, I&apos;m about 65 percent of the way done with Amy. &amp;nbsp;Why would I be displeased with this sort of thing? Cause of two things. &amp;nbsp;One, I need a metal griding head for the dremmel and the roommate is acting like an idiot when I ask for it. &amp;nbsp;Two, every time I find the mold forms for the things I need cast it gets &apos;relocated&apos;. &amp;nbsp;Three, I used one dye bath for four types of lace and ended up with four colors. &amp;nbsp;Are any one of these things going to stop me from finishing by the end of the month? &amp;nbsp;Hell no. &amp;nbsp;I will stay on schedule even if it kills her. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond that, uhm, I do not look forward to the month of wigging(August), cause it&apos;s gonna kill me. &amp;nbsp;One wig to center part and put into pigtails. &amp;nbsp;One wig to dye along with hand making wefts for it, lacefront and do an updo. &amp;nbsp;One wig to tint...which wouldn&apos;t be bad if it didn&apos;t reach my hips. &amp;nbsp;In theory one wig to create, assuming I can get the fabric for it. &amp;nbsp;Ugh. &amp;nbsp;I need a monkey to make wigs for me.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=3878&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Stuff and more stuff</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/3805.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, eight days ago I lost my furry man to kidney failure...and yes I know that has nothing to do with costuming to which I&apos;ve decided this journal is for.... &amp;nbsp;But, he was my baby and he deserves to cross post to any and all aspects of my life. &amp;nbsp;I won&apos;t hash it out in this area, but I needed to include it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been a wigging fool of late, and have completed two of the three wigs I planned to have done this month. &amp;nbsp;The third is going to kill me as it shall require the creation of wefts, and I am pretty sure that&apos;s outside my skill set. &amp;nbsp;However, within my skill set I&apos;ve drafted all of Amy Sorel&apos;s patterns now, so I just have to assemble her. &amp;nbsp;And dye her lace and get the RIGHT color ribbon for her. &amp;nbsp;So, assuming I actually do something costuming related on my two days off this coming week I should have her done lickety split. &amp;nbsp;All that&apos;s left on the other costumes for this month are the creation of tabi socks, and well...it&apos;s socks. &amp;nbsp;If I get really lazy I can just augment existing socks and say to hell with it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, I&apos;m staying on track dammit, no matter what life throws at me. &amp;nbsp;BTW, baby silk material? &amp;nbsp;Not made of babies, nor does it stain if you cry on it. &amp;nbsp;This is all.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=3805&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>And She&apos;s Done!</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/3396.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Well, outside of a strip of velcro, a hook and a wig she&apos;s done. &amp;nbsp;Enough that I can consider myself only ONE DAY over my alloted time to finish Kouchou and Sakujun! &amp;nbsp;I sorta giggle at the overlapping fabric use betwixt the two of them, but :: does a happy dance:: I can say they&apos;re done enough to wear right now! &amp;nbsp;Well, once I go down and hem Sakujun they&apos;ll be done, but hemming takes motivation and ten minutes, so I figure I&amp;quot;ll have that done by the end of&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;day no problem-o!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next on the list...::whips out a huge list:: shall be finishing off the Bleach Girls. &amp;nbsp;So that would be one hair bun, one Kosode, one set of Tabi, and two wigs. Also Amy Sorel from SCIII. &amp;nbsp;Sadly, I&apos;ll have to redo the underskirt I already made for her for two reasons; 1)it&apos;s ugly and 2) I can&apos;t fit into it anymore. &amp;nbsp;Two very good reasons, but suckily taking me back to square one on her. &amp;nbsp;The good news is that if I stay on task with two costumes a month I&apos;ll have the following left between now and September:&lt;br /&gt;Formal Deadpool&lt;br /&gt;Formal Nightcrawler&lt;br /&gt;White Mars Elissa&lt;br /&gt;Steam Punk Original&lt;br /&gt;Queen Serenity&lt;br /&gt;Suit!Catherine&lt;br /&gt;Frosta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which if you&amp;nbsp;divide&amp;nbsp;into two per month minimum I&apos;ll be done just after my deadline...which I think I can find acceptable since I had 22 at the start of the year, added in three more, took three off(so really maintained stasis). &amp;nbsp;So, come October 1 I will have 22 brand spankin&apos; new costumes for myself and friends from this year. &amp;nbsp;Next year I&apos;m retaining my sanity and just doing three. &amp;nbsp;Three really complex/big things, but just three!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which reminds me, I seriously need help finding dove grey wool...feel free to help a costumer out folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~*Edit*~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoot! &amp;nbsp;Done outside of wigs! ::shakes some serious booty:: &amp;nbsp;Now to scour the house to find the next round&apos;s stuff!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=3396&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Well progress happens</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/3134.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Even when I insist on doing things the hard way and bass ackwards. &amp;nbsp;Sakujun is pretty much done. &amp;nbsp;Some hemming, and finishing his belt and I can call him set to go. &amp;nbsp;Kouchou is my target Thursday(can&apos;t say tomorrow as I&apos;m pretty sure I&apos;ve hit midnight), so we&apos;ll see if I can kill myself to get her mostly done. &amp;nbsp;She can&apos;t be completely done until Amanda comes to get fitted, but I can do everything except the final stuff. &amp;nbsp;And, if I&apos;m lucky and productive, that will keep me on track for the Two Costumes a Month goal. &amp;nbsp;And if I do that, I will indeed be done by the end of my year. &amp;nbsp;Go me. &amp;nbsp;Now I go sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=3134&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>I suck</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/3015.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, I had these grand plans to get all sorts of stuff done in the last four days...what have I accomplished? Absolutely nothing. &amp;nbsp;I have later today and tomorrow to get two things done. &amp;nbsp;Period, end of statement, if I don&apos;t I suck worse than a black hole. &amp;nbsp;But, first a trip to Adorable Yachriu&apos;s house to do a fitting and other things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=3015&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>We&apos;re making progress!</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/2694.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Thank you Gule, you may return to your work station now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I&apos;ve spent the last few days getting patterns up for Sakujun. &amp;nbsp;I realized after finishing it that I&apos;ve used the wrong material for his one sleeve, but that&apos;s easily rectified...now if only I could recall why I had the other fabric in the first place.... &amp;nbsp;I realize now the purple I&apos;m using was supposed to go towards my brother&apos;s Joker costume...you&apos;ll forgive me if I&apos;m not sad I&apos;m misappropriating it. &amp;nbsp;If my luck and work ethic holds I&apos;ll have him mostly together by the end of this month. &amp;nbsp;Next to finish is Kouchou...she&apos;s about at the fifty percent point, so I should be able to kick it into gear this coming week and have her mostly done(sans wig) as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of wigs, I&apos;m seriously intimidated by them of late. &amp;nbsp;I have five to get styled/created/colored/etc and I&apos;m putting them all off. &amp;nbsp;I need to work on my wig-phobia ::makes note to look up the clinical word for that:: &amp;nbsp;One will be easy; Sakujun just needs to be tinted, so all I need is a rediculous amount of alcohol and markers. &amp;nbsp;One needs to be put into an updo and bangs cut...this shall be avoided as cutting wigs scares me more than most. &amp;nbsp;One needs to have wefts created, then dyed, then assembled, then styled...this is only slightly more&amp;nbsp;terrifying&amp;nbsp;than the one I have to create a back part on, add extensions, make curls and cut bangs. &amp;nbsp;I have a problem and need help. &amp;nbsp;Or a professional stylist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond all of the above I&apos;ve made little to no progress on anything else, someone breakout the whip and chair&amp;nbsp;so&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m done on time this year!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=2694&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>So, thoughts and answers</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/2374.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;So, thus far I&apos;ve used this journal as a dumping ground for all things. &amp;nbsp;While that&apos;s fine I&apos;m not sure if I want this much of myself, ever, online. &amp;nbsp;So, i have decided to turn this into a costuming journal, with maybe some character related fan fiction thrown in for good measure. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ll remove or lock anything not really related to that thus far posted, and from here on out that&apos;s all that will be put on this space. &amp;nbsp;I know this post is, in essence, pointless as no one perse watches me here, but it&apos;s more for my own edification. &amp;nbsp;Happy trails folks, see you on the next length of fabric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=2374&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Costuming for the Win!</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/2185.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Damn, I love days I feel really productive. &amp;nbsp;Yesterday I started and FINISHED adorable Yachiru&apos;s costume. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m just waiting on getting the right wheels for her sword and it&apos;s done! &amp;nbsp;Now if I can keep this motivation through today I can holler from the rooftops that I AM A PRODUCTIVE COSTUMER! &amp;nbsp;And if not...well...adorable is still in my house! &amp;nbsp;I think the whole reason was I&amp;nbsp;re-watched&amp;nbsp;Gungrave while doing everything. &amp;nbsp;It took me approximately 10 episodes from start to finish(juban, kosode, and hakama), so that&apos;s darn impressive IMO. &amp;nbsp;Aaaaaand, I love that series...really really love that series, and I can see all sorts of things now that I never noticed. &amp;nbsp;One day I may feel motivated to sit down and &apos;review&apos; all my favorite series. &amp;nbsp;Just cause I can. &amp;nbsp;Once I figure out the stupid break/tag/divide&amp;nbsp;doohickey(can I love that spell check fixes doohickey??).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, the world will end, but I went to Denver Fabrics and left with ONLY what I went in for! O.o &amp;nbsp;Yes. &amp;nbsp;Nothing extra, nothing not on the list. &amp;nbsp;In fact yesterday I only spent fifty cents on something that wasn&apos;t on my list. &amp;nbsp;I rock. &amp;nbsp;Indeed I do. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to go work on Sakujun, the color blind redhead...&amp;nbsp;for which&amp;nbsp;I need to now buy a snot ton of markers to tone his wig. &amp;nbsp;Yay rubbing alcohol!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=2185&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Sigh, well until I figure out how to use the cut tags I&apos;ll be pausing on the plans to post fan-fiction. &amp;nbsp;Cuase...well...it works best if I feel people have to really want to read it then just find it via the Random Journal button. &amp;nbsp;True its just one more click, but that&apos;s the click that counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...btw...weird chest pains go away, I&apos;m too young for you.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=1826&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;Ew, ew ew ew ewwwwwwww. &amp;nbsp;I think this is the&amp;nbsp;beginning&amp;nbsp;of biological warfare. &amp;nbsp;Fish and lilacs on the same evening? &amp;nbsp;And they&apos;ve abandoned ship too. &amp;nbsp;Swear to god, I will nuke their world when I think of something suitable. &amp;nbsp;And if I wasn&apos;t starving I wouldn&apos;t bother to go down and brave the horrid smells, but i neeeeeeeeed food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And had to verify with Adorable Yachiru&apos;s mom that I was allowed to give her nine year old a sword. &amp;nbsp;The mom is okay with it, which I think makes me love that family all the more. &amp;nbsp;Is it wrong I now want to put mom into Captain Mom? &amp;nbsp;Cause, it would be awesome. &amp;nbsp;Awesome. &amp;nbsp;And I want to drag them both into TB stuff, but I can&apos;t decide.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=1544&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Elitism: You&apos;re Doing it Wrong and Fanfiction</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/1489.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;First off have to NOT howl with laughter as I watch&amp;nbsp;something&amp;nbsp;come together in my house. &amp;nbsp;The &lt;em&gt;intent &lt;/em&gt;is for it to be amazing and awesome and SO PERFECT YOUR EYES WILL BLEED! &amp;nbsp;The results can be summed up in the statement(which needs to be made into a demotivational poster) Elitism: You&apos;re Doing it Wrong. &amp;nbsp;But hey, I know what I do isn&apos;t the bees knees, so I&apos;m trying not to say anything. &amp;nbsp;Really. &amp;nbsp;It&apos;s killing me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up next, on a slightly more fail-worthy note. &amp;nbsp;I just realized I can post fan fiction here. &amp;nbsp;Oh dear god. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve got so much hidden on my computer that I&apos;ve not been willing to fling onto an official fan fiction site. &amp;nbsp;I may have to spam the journals with it. &amp;nbsp;Right now since literally no one knows I&apos;m here I&apos;ll be safe...for a while...maybe.... &amp;nbsp;We shall see. &amp;nbsp;If I do it shall be a bizarre mix of Trinity Blood, Marvel, and other non-crossedover fandoms of mine. &amp;nbsp;Though, with the recent OMG FanFiction is Ebil! I&apos;ve seen going on from authors I&apos;m a bit hesitant. &amp;nbsp;Not cause I agree or give&amp;nbsp;credence&amp;nbsp;to the stupidity of that&amp;nbsp;statement, but because I don&apos;t want to be seen&amp;nbsp;purposefully&amp;nbsp;jabbing a stick into a hornets nest. &amp;nbsp;I may love watching people flail and rant, but I usually like to watch from&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;shadows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, off now to hang out with the most adorable Yachiru evers, and give her her&amp;nbsp;lieutenant&amp;nbsp;badge. &amp;nbsp;Her sword is nearly done, just gotta get the ties and wheels on. &amp;nbsp;Adorable I say, adorable.&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=1489&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Of mice and men</title>
  <link>https://feymeggan.dreamwidth.org/1128.html</link>
  <description>Or rather stilts and swords. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve gotten permission to kidnap two different people and place them in costumes of my choosing for events of my choosing. &amp;nbsp;The only downside? &amp;nbsp;I get to fund this. &amp;nbsp;Which...considering my tastes,&amp;nbsp;severely&amp;nbsp;limits my options. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve already decided my friends 9 year old shall be the most adorable Yachiru/Mr.T in&amp;nbsp;existence. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m working on her sword in the dungeon as I type...well...when I&apos;m not typing and actually down there. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve also remade her&amp;nbsp;lieutenant&apos;s&amp;nbsp;badge since I painted it all the wrong colors. &amp;nbsp;I need to get her mom to give me measurements so I can get her actual clothing together,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;debating commissioning a friend for REAL waraji for her. &amp;nbsp;It would be beyond adorable.... &amp;nbsp;But she&apos;s already that without much assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other person is a previous commissionee. &amp;nbsp;He felt bad for getting payment to me so late he said I had carte blanche&amp;nbsp;to put him in a costume of my choosing. &amp;nbsp;I reeeeeeeeeeeeally want a Professor from TB&amp;nbsp;but dear god the bling. &amp;nbsp;On the upside I&apos;m about on schedule for my costuming this year, so I could fit it in; however, financially, I&apos;m a bit strapped. &amp;nbsp;Oh well, if push comes to shove I&apos;ll have anime version this year, upgrade to manga or artbook the next! &amp;nbsp;Though I&apos;m also tempted to make him Kenpachi just so my adorable Yachiru has a buddy....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My stilts work wonderfully! &amp;nbsp;I really should use more than just&amp;nbsp;epoxy&amp;nbsp;to hold them together, but I didn&apos;t plan it well enough to have places to put hardware, so it&apos;ll have to do. &amp;nbsp;I think as long as I learn how to walk in them, and go SLOW I&apos;ll be fine. &amp;nbsp;I shall be the most&amp;nbsp;epically&amp;nbsp;looming bad guy ever. &amp;nbsp;Ever. &amp;nbsp;And since they&apos;re done enough to get measurements in I can finally start on drafting his patterns. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ll have to augment the underskirt I started, it&apos;a bout six inches too short, but I can live with that. &amp;nbsp;Shit ton of hemming though since it&apos;s a doubled circle skirt. &amp;nbsp;And I&apos;m tempted to make fake shoe fronts for the bottom of my stilts so I have shoes peeking out should I stand just right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Latest TB novel and manga came out, got more references for the next of my&amp;nbsp;projects&amp;nbsp;from that. &amp;nbsp;Just need money to come in so I can order fabric swatches. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;m torn on colors, but since it&apos;s black and white with no mention of colors I can do as I please. &amp;nbsp;At least no mention thus far. &amp;nbsp;We&apos;ll see what&apos;s going on when the next in the novel series comes out; knowing my luck it&apos;ll tell me how wrong I am &lt;em&gt;again&lt;/em&gt;. &amp;nbsp;But I can live with it since one in a hundred thousand will know I&apos;m wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And need to&amp;nbsp;think&amp;nbsp;up ideas on how to keep the house clean. &amp;nbsp;I can do it, but the roommate is exploding&amp;nbsp;everywhere. &amp;nbsp;&apos;parently the dungeon isn&apos;t big enough she needs to use alllllll the areas everywhere. &amp;nbsp;TTFN back to the dungeon I go!&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=feymeggan&amp;ditemid=1128&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
