Hi all,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I had a busy time finishing my degree and have been recovering since.

I've got some new costume pictures to upload (some from Japan Expo, which was amazing!), as well as one or perhaps two new projects in the works. Work on Broken Bow is also continuing - including work on sound and editing! Only a few more bits and pieces to film and then it'll be put together.

I hope you're all having a good summer and are coping with the heat (here in Europe at least). What have you all been up to?


Sam

Sorry for the lack of replies on here lately! I'm halfway a Master's course and have two other big projects keeping me occupied at the moment! I will slowly be getting around to answering everything.

Selling things

(deleted because not relevant anymore)

At the end of August/beginning of September I'll also be selling various bits and pieces of LotR ranger costumes, and this has to do with the second topic!

Current projects

As hinted at above, I'm working on a video project involving Lord of the Rings rangers.   More teasers to follow in due time!

My second big project is an Avengers Loki costume which I've been working on since I watched Thor, a couple of months before The Avengers came out. I'll upload some WIP pictures today or tomorrow.

It's been a while! I've survived my exams and finally have my degree.   What I'm going to be doing next is still unclear, but for now things have calmed down and I am back in the Netherlands where I will stay for at least several months, or a year. That also means I have time for costume things again!

First a couple of costumes need to be finished properly:
Arwen - some embroidery and other decoration of the riding outfit
Revan - I finally have some motivation for finishing Revan again! There may even be pictures with a Malak at some point
Jack Vessalius - after an aborted attempt, I should really finish this as the materials have all been bought already..
Ranger - the ranger is going to be re-done! This might take a while, as I need to gather the right materials and it doesn't have priority

Planned:
Mai (AtlA) - bought the fabric
Fai - a different version (or two?)
A character from Game of Thrones - not saying which one; have a guess and if it's right I'll confirm via a note
A character from Final Fantasy 7 - same as above!


As for events:
Castlefest - August 6 or 7
Abunai - August 27 probably


Also, I have set up a Facebook and Tumblr account for progress pictures etc of what I'm working on. for those interested. The Tumblr page is linked to Facebook, so everything on Tumblr appears on Facebook anyway.

Hope everyone's having a nice summer!

Well, Expo isn't even two weeks ago yet it seems like so much longer! Am in the middle of my final exams (argh!), three down, one more to go next week and then I'm done!

Anyway, here it is!

MCM Expo

Seen as though I had exams coming, up we only went to Expo for one day. We of course managed to choose the day it rained most of the morning, exactly while we were in transit! The adventure started as soon as we were on the train, transporting interesting objects, finding seats with space to stack things - why next to the loo?? - and eventually the countryside rolling by...
Here's an interesting photo of me looking a tad drenched, and showing how Fai's staff has to be transported : i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae…

Expo was nice, wandering around, watching all the interesting people go by.    Bumped into Orochimarisu and SayaShinigami with an awesome Assassin's Creed group, but managed to miss everyone else I expected to see!

Inside the convention she suddenly decided to sacrifice me to evil! D8

As you can see, I am incapable of looking scared.   He was genuinely creepy though! Had all the gestures down and everything!

Outside once again it was very windy. This was not a costume that would cope well with wind, as you can see: i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae… i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae… i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae…
I give up! i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae…

Anyway, lots of fun was had.   Definitely needed a day to get out and about and get my mind off of full-time revision!
