Re: mdb's 2014 Costume and Workroom rebuild projects!
Sooo... workroom is different yet again... Broke down the old warddrobe by the age old method of "push it over until it collapses on itself" so that is gone. Old shelves have been moved to the back wall and screwed to the studs (hooray for power drills! but I need a new set of goggles as I can hardly see through them now.
So a few photos not yet shared over here:
Elissa gown progress:
Tiara:
Ribbon lattice to go over the pleated hem:
1" wide gold ribbon wrapped in an X over plastic, purple metallic ribbon sewn to the X and green metallic ribbon to the top row. Gold tassels at the bottom of each XX and paste jewels to each intersection. All hand sewn. And ready to be hand sewn to the hem and the hem tacked down at the top of the filligree ribbon.
Bodice and decorations:
Full dress:
My Togruta mold has not yet been opened as the weather has been really up and down. The wet weather means there is a delay of about a week per cast. Ah well. I do have one set ready to be supported internally
Iam also debating on making my RD 16a armour (in SWTOR I have all the pieces except belt and chest for my Merc., the chest doesn't come in orange and the belt is okay to be swapped for another similar model.) or Pepper Potts.
I got this as inspiration for Pepper:
My RD 16a gear:
Wandering around Belsavis and Illum it's a lot pinker or lilac than the character screen- very brown due to yellow lighting of the mantis.
