| task mistress for the Sister |
[Jul. 11th, 2009|06:45 pm] |
I still need to take inventory for Erick's Inquisitor. I am going to try and knock out as much of my Sister of Battle costume this coming week as I can so I can concentrate on him and the guns more.
I figured out how I am doing the robe, both for comfort and to limit bulk. I need to get lining fabric. The colour scheme for each order is very specific about such things and I intend to do this properly.
I feel like I need to carry documentation for all my choices kind of like doing serious SCA costuming. That way when someone gives me shit about my makeup, or a particular fiddly bit I can whip out my documentation and tell them to STFU. Yes I did find an official image of a sister with dark eyeshadow, the very red lipstick is actually common. Personally I think it makes sense, the stark makeup makes one more intimidating.
ANYWAY!
I should have all the leather I need. I can now get into size 8 leather pants, might actually need size 6 if I do lose the last few pounds but I can get into the corset so if I stay low 140's to upper 130's it's not the end of the word. Yes I would LOVE to be 135-130 for PAX but Sisters aren't skinny and I look pretty damn good in the pants with the corset now.
I need to get all my insignia together, make the shoulder armor, the robe, fix the wig up once the white hair gets here, make the shin guards (I am wearing my extra stompy New Rocks I put the skulls on), print out the temp tattoos for the face tat and finish the gauntlets.
Looking at others who have done this costume with any real effort and skill so far none are in the US. I think there was one US Sister which was really BAD. As in I could have thrown it together in a day or two bad.
My real concern is still the gun. I am not finding the stuff I need to make it easily and I REALLY don't want to have to paint a nerf gun that is close but not really right or make it out of cardboard which seems to be what most people do. Erick is making his bolt pistol out of wood, I need to do something similar for mine. I still can't settle on which I want: Plasma, Melta or Flamer. I don't want a bolt pistol because Erick will have one but we will see what happens. If he does a really good job on his I might just have him make it. I am going to have my hands full with everything else. |

| yard work SUCKS |
[Jun. 30th, 2009|09:03 pm] |
| [ | feeling... |
| |  vexed | ] | Of all the things I swore I would never do, why did I pick this one to go back on it?
Black widows, random marijuana plants, and welts all over my arms from thistle. HATE HATE HATE. I stopped tonight because I came to an 8 foot tall thistle. I need hedge clippers from HELL for that thing. Or possibly a chain saw. I couldn't cope.
There are spiders in all the plants I am pulling, I have to hit them with a stick a few times to get them off. There was a HUGE black widow in the yard waste bin. So much stuff I have two HUGE bags full besides the yard waste bin.
There were 3 pot plants I pulled up. I don't know what most plants look like, those I know what they look like. Don't like pot, so the weed are weeds.
I also need to wear a heavy long sleeve shirt while doing this shit my arms itch and hurt from all the welts from the thistle thorns. Need heavier gloves too. The leather gardening gloves aren't enough, maybe welding gloves would be.
Seriously, this sucks. |

I just did yard work. I spent 40 minutes pulling weeds. I intend to do this regularly till my tiny yard is weed free. It is going to take a few weeks, I can only do it at dawn/dusk when it isn't too hot and only for so long because of allergies and general ickiness.
It is entirely the fault of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) heartsease that I am doing this. |

Last night I went to the weekly goth club in Nashville, TN.
The dance floor even has a gear on it, which I found amusing.

| Palantír, archaic artifact... and a hat contraption |
[May. 27th, 2009|07:22 pm] |
This archaic artifact, called a Palantír or Seeing Stone, is from Middle Earth was once used as a long distance communication device, now it is kept in a stasis field to keep anyone from dialing in. The guage and knob on the side are for monitoring and adjusting field strength.
My new top hat for Maker Faire, complete with contraption. |
