First off I want to wish my parents a very Happy 41st Anniversary today! 41 years ago they said "I do," and their love amazes me every day. Wanna see a ridiculous video of them, my siblings, and myself that a friend put together on jibjab? Click Here.
On to my crafty crap...I finished Mom's (Michelle's) blanket! It's a few weeks late for her birthday but I gave it to her yesterday and couldn't be more excited with how much she loved it! And for my first blanket, I think it came out fairly well :-) I've got plans to make a few more for family & friends as Christmas presents so I'll be starting on those now with any free time I have.
Also, Tim is a thief.
For my Toothiana cosplay I have now received a ton of feathers in the mail from this pretty awesome site I came across, MoonLight Feather, and I also got my bright blue leggings! I may need more feathers as I go along but I figure I can get those from the local craft stores. Yesterday after I finished Mom's blanket I started on making a Baby Tooth to carry around...though Tim will probably have her as much as I will considering she spends the majority of the movie with Jack Frost. I'm toying with the idea of making Jack Frost's tooth carrier but that will wait till last. |
Today I'm going to start on my dress. The dress I have for the base is currently yellow but I bought some fabric spray paint in blues and green to make a gradient. My hope is to cover the majority of the dress in feathers but incase the fabric does show through I want it to be a similar shade to the feathers on top. Once the dress is dry I'll start attaching the feathers...probably with hot glue. I'll get some in progress photos for my next post.
