First and foremost, I absolutely love costuming. I've been a costumer for a number of years, and enjoy the challenges each costume brings both construction-wise and modelling-wise.

I make and wear all my own costumes, and have never had any formal training for design (unless you count a book-cover and apron in middle-school). I believe anyone is capable of sewing regardless of background experience, so long as you have the imagination to be creative and the willingness to learn from your mistakes. Needless to say I've made my fair share of rather silly mistakes!

I'm a graduate from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor's degree in English and linguistics. I also dabbled in Japanese language/history and theatre, geology, geography, old and middle English literature, and Asian writing systems, and have great interest in said topics.

Countdown to Armageddon

Wed Oct 7, 2009, 3:24 PM
Armageddon's a matter of weeks away, and there are still quite a few things that need to be completed...

Project Fem-TIE is coming along well, I'll get the bodysuit finished today. Helmet hasn't arrived yet and I haven't heard anything from the person sending the kit out, but I should have it soon...

Need to sort out a skirt zip on another costume, it's not sitting properly and makes the back of the skirt all bunchy. I also need to make a hat, shouldn't take more than a day to do.

Dean's Officer needs a quick check-over, and his pants need to be hemmed. We also need to get his belt done (got a blank belt which needs to be dyed and have the buckle and greeblie attached.

Then there's Dean's Maul!
I know I'm gonna jinx it by saying this, but once I get the pattern pieces all sorted, it shouldn't take too long to sew together. I'd like to have the cloak done too (with all 10 metres of pleated fabric), but that'll be the very last thing I do.
I've got an in-progress thread up on the 501st Sith Lord Detachment for anyone that's interested in seeing my progress on the patterning and construction of his costume off the Pepsi Maul robes: [link]

Lots to do!

AMAZING gallery! I stumbled upon your DA actually through google images researching Van Helsing costumes. You are very talented! Perhaps if I have a question during my costume making process I will drop you a note :) Keep up the amazing work!

May i ask, is there a significance in the Bria part of your tag?

It's part of my Jedi character's name, which I made up after going through an Elvish 'language' dictionary. I can't remember what it means though!

Oh ok! :) It's just that it was the name of a smuggler ship in some Star Wars novels. I wasn't sure if it had some significance. :heart:
