aimeekittyI came home late and mitch had left me a note on the door saying there were cookies in the kitchen. :D what a sweet man!!!!
I actually got on ICQ and chatted with Steph and Jen today, what a rarity that is :) fun though. I miss you guys. :) it's gonna be fun slumberpartying at Fanime! ruuuckus! :D I think we should paint colin's toe nails, isnt he gonna be the only guy?
gah I'm afraid people are going to pelt me for making yet ANOTHER yuna costume. *sigh* Oh well. its really fun though. :) I adore the colors and beads... and I get to PAINT STUFF! :D. I'm going to try and wrap my hair for the beady thing (and will have to get a hair cut). luckily no dying needed as we are similar hair colors. I wanted to get some highlights anyway.
*ahem* so... I pleated a skirt this afternoon! :D and I didnt get the thread caught once, and I didn't even sew any of the seams backwards! WOO GO ME!
*cough*
though I did break one of crisso's sewing machine needles. (second one I've broken in 6 months. I think I owe her some needles. :[ ) next time I will bring my glasses so I don't run over the pins in the fabric and thus break the needle.
speaking of glasses I need some contacts for my costume. :)
all I have left on her skirt is to do the waist band and to paint the pattern (that's the fun part! :D) I'm going to embellish the flowers a little bit... they wont be exactly like in the character designs. it'll just make it more fun. (and purdy)
Crisso showed me a way to iron the hem and then fold it over and the sew it to get a better looking hem... I'm very jazzed about that, it makes the skirt look nicer. ^_^
Hoping to go out with her later this week and brainstorm comic stuff with her over lunch.
Stephanie (coworker from Rough Draft) wants to go down to LA with us, so hopefully that will happen on Thurs. *crosses fingers* but I can work on Yuna's top, finding beads and painting the skirt until then. I hope its going to look ok! I'm still very new to all this. but at least I don't feel as clutsey around the sewing machine! :)
I really need a rigged model for Maya that I can use for portfolio reels... I'm hoping some of our friends will have one. (perhaps Jack Skellington? he'd be fun) I need to finish my comic at least somewhat though before I throw myself full force into maya.
also did A TON of sketches of Charlotte from VHD this afternoon, detailing all her costume parts and such. one day when I'm a bit more talented of a seamstress I'm going to try and make that. last time I tried to sew a cape it was disastrous, so wont be trying that again for at least a little bit of time yet.
I have a few more simple costumes to conquer first. ^_-
no ffx today.. *le sigh* ;)
