lordofhaladineven thoughI can't (yet again) go to d*con this year (I really REALLY want to!) I have a list of things I need to finish before this Jan... and what I need to finish is:
Hope dress
what I have so far is the body of the dress, and one fourth of the sleeves done, (I'll post pics when I figure out how) and thats all... I'm hand beading and embroidering them.
and the BR dress I so far have just the trim and the paisley need the habotai for the underdress and the silk velvet which I plan on getting from syfbarics.com
things I want to do are:
Gladdys prolouge dress
still reaserching the sleeve pattern thought I think i figured it out (expanding on what we know from ACS http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Elf/Galadriel/Prolog.htm )
Gladdys under the spell costume and at the same time her mirror dress I'll just order the fabric all at the same time (esp since someone else would be doing the beading and emb for the fabric ;)) don't get me wrong I look for dresses with emb or what-have-you b/c I love doing the small hand work but sheesh 3 yards of georgette (so fragile!).. lost more work then i thought
Eowyns Victory dress
I have the fabric that I might use for the hip garnishes but not so sure about the placket, still looking for somthing like trim about 2-3" wide with a scroll design on it, and the fabric I wanted for the jacket is now out of league b/c it's treated with stain resistant stuff and I doubt I could dye it I'm still thinking about buying the jacquard from thaisilks (bouquet) and dying it then painting the outlines of some of the leaves with gold/yellow paint... but i still need to work on the muslin etc, I was thinking of making it more of a p-seamed jacket and making the front panel be the placket, but do the p-seams on a smaller scale....) so I'll try to have the pic of the fabric up too....
and I want to get done (this is high priority) a dress of my own desing for my sis (AA) but as for that I'm still stressing about the color,
I want mostly to get the hope dress and my sis dress before Dec so we can go out to eat at Disney world in them (perhaps I'll settle for a cloak for AA if I don't have time due to us having to move by the end of the month, we just found out on Monday!) I've never been to Disney before in my life so I'm totally excited! but anyway I'll try to find a way to post pics... hmm I have an idea (thanks again for the link Mel!) okay well this is taking atad longer then excspected.. (sending from my phone, to my e-mail, saving then post a link)anyway... I'll post when i can..
drat i woke up too early... I couldn't sleep last night and I have to work at our restaurant till midnight tonight (glad I'm not Dad he has to work till 2) but I'm no good when I'm sleepy.. not fast enough, (I make sushi BTW) I hope is steady not like last week where there were waves of people, there was times when we had nothing to do so we made a 3mm H by 1/12 cm W spider roll complete with a actual spider in it (I wish I got a pic) we even made a spider web (on the plate by drawing it out with sauce) for it, and we made a 1/8 scale cats eye roll, it was in perfect porpotion even the plate was smaller then the real ones, ;) but I love wowrking there, not to mention I get a nice paycheck for working only 11 hours a week, (two nights) but then i have to work the rest of the week at Easley, bleh where I do serving and sushi and people have the nerve to stiff me when they see th dining room is packed there are three servers on cook and one shushi chef and I have to run and make some of the orders with my Dad then serve them and they get mad b/c I took too long to give them thire food! the nerve of people! what mostly irritates me is that everyone doesn't belive me when i say I wan't trained by Dad I was trained by a Master chef and I've known how to make sushi for longer then Dad has, and they give me the %&^% about how girls can't do sushi and i made it up and they know I learned form Dad "Andy knows how to make sushi" and"but your a girl, wheres the chef?" aggghhh! but enough of my ranting, it's mostly Monday people (we have a sushi special on Monday) they have to be the nastiest.. but I'll exspand on that on Monday or Tues.... okay I thik in my journal I can brag and complain in moderation if anyone reading this gets irritated at that just tell me! I don't want to be annoying... I can read and write Quenya and I can read and write Greek (I'm working on my vocab with Greek though) and I know a tad of Japanese. I'm pretty good with handling conflicts but I can't get myself out of this one...
okay I whent to learn sewing for Ellen Kochanskey, i learned alot form her (shes nice but intese, very nervouse) I could handle her and for a time I loved it, then one day she started bashing my belife in God, it hurt my feelings and the more I tried to defend my belife the more she bashed and said " creative poeple should belive in evolution b/c it's more crative and leaves more for the imagination plus it's more of a beautiful story" after 5 hours of tring to defend myself i went home, the next time I went she started up again, so I couldn't take it any more she really hrut my feelings on top of that she was trying to change my designs if it were things like I would do this b/c it would be better for the structure etc I would be fine but it was I would change this b/c I think it looks better this way.. so that was the last straw, I quit, now she wants me to come back (I don't think she got why i was ofended and crushed) but I don't want to now so I'm not telling her why I'm NEVER coming back she also started planning my whole life, "you can go to collage this fall and when you came back you could work with me in the office then you could move to Ashville and work with my friend..." I am not making this up. I liteally was losing hari over this, so what is a nice way of telling her I never want to go back? oh well I'll figure this out some time...
okay I think I can work the pics now, I might even have pics of my candle holders i made out of paper last year (don't worry it's not too flammable..;)) oh and I might put a pic of my dog pippin in too.. I love him so much he really helped me with my depression...
