Dah Bling Empress * Now in Warrior Prncess edition *

And FINALLY I manage to actually write on our lovely blog >:D
...this might be connected to me finally making some progress, but hush hush with that part >.>

So current status is... Well I started making Seth's long train, and its huge O.o
I'm also about to figure out the basic construction of the hat, which has baffled me for a couple of months by now.
But you can see the current scale model on this friendly Dalek -->

Oh, and did I mention I STILL don't have my green fabric? :D Hurray for Danish fashion fabric stores...
So, Internet shall save me. I have even received some free fabric samples from which I have to decide ^^




So all in all, I'm finally getting started :D I think I be able to actually make it somehow, though I do have some trouble with wrapping my mind around how much is still left ^^;
BUT to help me make it, I have 3 seasons of Xena, the Warrior Princess to assist me! >:D *que Xena's fighting cry*.


PS. And since I was looking through old photos anyway, here is a picture of our lovely backdrop for our Madoka act, which is badly blurred on all videos.
BEHOLD:




:D
Over and out ~

Progress!

No update in more than a month? This cannot be!

So, here's an update on what we've done since last the last post.

A few weeks ago, Maru and I went fabric shopping with our friend Degu - FriedDeer couldn't come because of evil, evil exams, so there's another fabric trip in the pipeline - and we managed to get pretty much all the fabric for Paula and Esther in one place, go us!

I'd finished the patterns for Paula's robe beforehand, so I went right ahead and cut the fabric - but then I realized I didn't have the right bias tape (I think that's the english word for that) so I couldn't get any further. So while I'm searching for bias tape (ultimately, I'll probably have to make my own...), here is the mockup of Paula's robe, in amazing dirt-cheap-fabric-o-vision:

 I also found beads for Paula's rosaries. Aren't they nice?

 

And finally, I begun sculpting some of the jewellery for both Paula and Esther. There all need sanding and most of them will be cast in resin eventually, so it's more of a preview than anything, but hey, there's a picture!

Next up: more sculpting, questing for bias tape - and maybe embroidery!

Is-9, over and out!
