It is done. It has taken me months of work, and many long days for the final push, but my entry to Costume Con is complete. But I took the time I need to do it, and time is what it needed. And I think I am pleased with the result.
....and then on the flip side with three days left before the convention, screaming like warrior going into battle, I dive into a new piece of fabric, and will have another full costume done in less than two days. Is it the same caliber and detail? Not remotely - but it is interesting what one can accomplish when the adrenaline of creatively is still pumping through the veins.
Now then. I need fire and glue.
...And maybe breakfast.

It's really less than a month to CC35 now?
Yikes. Where did those years between those Cons go?
My major project is...going.... We're, well, not in the home stretch, but it has taken shape and form to what it will be the end. Which basically invokes days and days of embellishment.
I think it's good? <- no longer has a frame of reference to this anymore.
It comes down to: Finishing the skirt embellishments. Finish the bodice embellishment. Do the embellishment on the underskirt. Finalize jewellery. Throw handfuls more of beads and flowers at it all and scream MORE MORE MORE at it.
So, nothing to do at all.
...And yet, I still want to have a new little dress to wear for the Friday Night Social. Because, I can't Wear The Same Thing, two conventions in a row.
.... we'll see how that goes.
....Need one last Fabricland 50% off sale....

What am I getting myself into?
Okay. Okay.
So, the scales are tipping even closer to agreeing to do one idea for Costume Con. Mock-up line art (and by mock up, I mean tracing and super-awesome MS Paint skills combined with a red permanent marker) has proven to be.... nice. Very nice. Also, terrifying, because if I can pull this off, I will be.... well, probably broke, and more than a little loopy.
What am I thinking?
I'm thinking, let's add some LEDs in there too.
Oh, that's a good idea.
....
:D

I might have made a decision.
I think I might have figured out my Costume Con costumes for CC35.
I think.
.... If I can pull them off, they could be quite grand.
This means research. Lots of research.
