Busy Busy Busy at Arisia

As the title says, I'm probably at Arisia now after an all-nighter (or something similar) working on the birds of prey for the masquerade Sunday night. Fingers crossed that I get the performance recorded so I can show you guys.

So the part of the post that you all have been waiting for is the sewing superhero because I post those when I'm busy or boring:

My sister showed me this scene since she's been reading through Nightwing.

Also, if any of you readers out there find a comic where a superhero is sewing or has someone else sewing their costume, feel free to comment with the issue number or hit me up on twitter: @notsogeekchic.

aaaaaah busy

so I've got a convention coming up this weekend (Arisia) and then moving back into my dorms so here's a little preview of what is going to be worn:

where mah Hobbits at?

I went ice skating with friends Wednesday and then we decided to go see Les Mis at a theater. Despite not being a well functioning person, it was a super duper day. they had a whole bunch of hobbit stuff out and here's some of my fave pics:

I like my wizards like I like my cheese: well aged.

just chillin' with my homie, Gandizzle.

Where my dwarfs at?

selfies with Thorin <3!

I'm running out of titles for nothing posts

So I've been a horrible blogger recently. mostly because I haven't. been, blogging. recently.
Nope, been too busy doing nothing and wasting my money. here's some things I've gotten since my last post:

The wonderful bows were a Booster-day present for myself. They're sold by the lovely etsy seller: SirenLovesYou and there are some of her other designs on her art tumblr. (I'm keeping my eye open for if she restocks her set of young justice hair bows)

I got this from claire's when I went to the mall with my sister.

I got to see The Hobbit with some friends and fell in love with it. Sadly, I'm not much into reading (which always surprises people for some reason) so I don't think I'm gonna read the Tolkien books, but I will probably watch the extended cuts of the Lord of the Rings movies to satiate my need for the next movie.
So yeah, I bought the key on a keychain but then just took of the keychain part and put it on a chain to make a necklace because I do stuff like that.

Have a boosterrific Booster Gold day, everyone!

My friend a while back was looking through information about Booster Gold and found that his birthday is December 29, but in the future. So today is a day we like to use to celebrate him and his large ego. (it's also my birthday too so that's the only reason I find it such a big deal.)

So yeah. Booster Gold doesn't sew, but he still does some handiwork on his costume.

also he does so shirtless because I guess he didn't think to bring another set of clothes.

Leather masks are super cool

My sister and I spent today making a couple leather masks.

I drafted the patterns out of paper. Then we held it up to her face, she told me what she wanted changed and I tweaked things.

we ended up with pretty amazing patterns which she traced and cut out of leather.

then she wetted the back and walked around the house while wearing silly masks so they fit snugly to her face. here's the two we've made so far.

Huntress

Mockingbird

My sister has ordered leather paint, so when we get them painted. I'll post more.

playing with wigs

so kinda failed experiment here:

My sister and I have decided to debut our Birds of Prey costumes at Arisia next month. Meaning we need to actually make out costumes. And the first thing my sister wanted to play with was trying to curl a wig for Lady Blackhawk.

He go:

we're probably going to try using hot water to straighten it a bit.
