Thanks! Isn't it such a great costume for her? I wish it had had a bit more screentime. I highly recommend making one. It was a lot of fun.

WandaVision snuck up on me in a big way. I was glad to see Wanda get more screentime, but I hadn't seen much promo material before the show aired and I had no expectations of getting invested in it, let alone recreating any costumes from it. Then Agatha happened. While I had some problems with...

Billy: Billy's stuff is so distressed and decayed, that on the one hand I have a little more wiggle room than usual with the fabric choices because it won't look the same after so I don't have to worry about matching so much; but on the other hand, it'll help to choose fabrics that are already...

This turned out awesome! Excellent job with the pages. I made the spellbook a few years ago but skipped the pages, so that's one of the upgrades I'm doing on my second version.

This project is definitely not really in progress right now but I've been dabbling with swatches again. I spent last summer and fall finishing a LOT of fabric research and I've got a good list going of materials for each costume. Winifred: The coat: I still had a swatch of kelly green...

So it's been another 2 years, but I'm still working on version 2.0 of the crown. I've been staring at it for all that time but never had the motivation to jump back into it. I'd kind of moved on, both to other parts of the King George costume and just other projects entirely. But with the show...

Wow! What a lucky coincidence. I love seeing big groups like that at conventions. Yeah, a lot of them are reenactors. I've seen them at Fort MacArthur too during Air Raid, and at some other local reenactment events. No, it's not from Disneyland. It was drawn by Charles Holbert, an illustrator...

Thanks! I'm still really pleased with it even after all this time. Jay and Ice are so much fun to wear. We did a photoshoot a few years ago so I might dig those photos out and post some.

Nope, not me. But funnily enough I've met her and talked to her at a few events. I absolutely love her Elsa, and seeing hers actually got me thinking about mine again.

Thanks! Soooo it's been a minute since I worked on this. But the spellbook has been done for a long time, and getting close to Halloween has me thinking about it again and I realized I never updated anything. So here it is. I did some minor mods to the book box itself (cut down and flattened...

Thanks so much! Finishing the little details really is oddly satisfying. Thanks! We all grew up on it so we really love it too. The Disneyland 60th thing is a box that looks like a book. It's hollow inside with a magnetic closure, which as a prop makes it handy for holding cards and phones and...

Thanks! I love the small details too. I finally finished the spellbook a few months ago and I'm close to done with Winifred's earrings so I'll be posting photos soon. Thanks!

It's been two years in the making, but this dumb sucker is finally finished. I changed the plan up a little and decided to add the fur trim before painting. I initially wanted to save that for last so I wouldn't have to cover the fur up for painting, but I realized that gluing the trim on might...

Thanks! I'm getting close to done on these pieces I've already started, so I should have photos of at least a few parts finished soon.

George is still kicking, I promise. And we're in the home stretch. Last I worked on the crown, I had tried using the DecoColor Premium gold paint pen and the whole thing failed kind of epically. Having an airbrush or being a better painter would have made a difference, but as is it just...
