But that would be a really cool prop for the costume.

But heads are heavy, and I'm not too keen on carry one around the Renaissance Faire.

I'm sure you could make it into a purse. Then it would be functional too.

i have three pirate outfits for the summer...one is a corset that is reversible. I have one i need to put back to together...i tore it apart last summer and never got back to putting it together. I think i will wait that way i can have something to wear by summer's end. the corset is going to be too big very soon...i wonder if i can take it in...it is gorgeous!!

I got a huge costuming gig!

Which means that all my personal projects are on the back burner for now, but I am really not that upset about it at the moment.

LOL

Anyone have access to someone with one of those awesome embroidery machines that can do patches? I want to do a short run of 2 designs, and no commercial will touch it because of the design.

I finished the dress for the River costume I have been wanting to make, it is the pink one from the episode where they wanted to burn her as a witch. I have a sweater that is currently dark pink, I will dye it red when I have access to a washer that I can dye things in. Now to figure out some boots. I have several pairs of black boots I don't wear often that might work.


Hrm.

I know of someone with an awesome machine, and she has told me I can use it if I purchase all the materials (which makes sense because that thread is expensive...) I don't know which one she has tho, or if she will have time to do them any time soon.

I will work to make the designs very clear if you can see if she wants to make a dozen of each design. grin One is 2 color and the other is 3 (sharing the colors).

I've found some higher res pics of the Stargate costume I've been wanting to make, showing a better look at the type of fabric used in the skirt. I want to say I've seen something like it before, but I don't know what it is. Does anyone know what this fabric is called? Looking online it would help if I had a name for it. (Or better yet, any ideas where I could find it?)

Spoilers for the upcoming DVD movie Continuum in the pictures...

Area around knee shows see-thru-ness of fabric, and elsewhere you can see the linear crinkle lines
Another good shot of the linear parallel line-crinkle nature of the fabric

(pictures compiled online by "Andreas at LJ")
