Crafty Tuesday 24 Days to DragonCon 2013

[puppetmaker]

For me it is 22 days to get everything done since we have travel time as well and they aren’t counting Thursday, which they should.

Today is all about working with materials I have here. My goal is to have most of the puppet bodies done and work on the dolls during the evening when sewing machines can interrupt activities. I do have bowling tonight if my back holds up. Might see if Peter wants to pre-bowl this afternoon where it tends to feel better.

The list is long but not impossible. I do think that the two iffy projects are down on the bottom of the list at this time. If I have time then I will but I am not starting them until I have cleared the other decks.

Starting tomorrow there will be pictures for progress updates except once the secret project gets to the point that it can be recognized, it goes under wraps.

I was sorry to hear that the amazing doll maker Akira Blount has passed away. She was one of my inspirations. You can see her amazing work at her website here. She was very giving of information and I regret I did not get to take one of her classes. A class act all the way.

Off to create foam structures and bodies for the start of this marathon.

I am grateful for things that allow me to just go off and create.

How does con always seem to slip up on me? I have all the sewing to do! And also I still need to try and find an actual pattern for an ionic chiton, since what I've found isn't very helpful for making one.

It's it last last component that one needs is always the hardest to find.
