Here’s some more awesome shots of my Little Sister costume! Shot by Winter Wish Photography. Eleanor is being cosplayed by my friend, Jenna.

I did it! I survived Fanime (barely). I got some great pictures of my Little Sister costume and tons of compliments! I actually took four costumes and only wore two. Even then I only wore Marceline for a few hours so it was really Little Sister con. I was so tickled to find so many splicers, another little sister and my friend as Eleanor - and to evade rovers with my prop!! There was one little sister and a splicer that I was never able to catch up with, but maybe another time. It was lovely meeting a couple of my followers too!

This year was also my first bout of exhaustion! Fun times, no not really. Nothing quite like getting sick in a hotel lobby and then having to go lie down all done up in body paint. Apparently I’m getting too old for this running around not eating thing. Hopefully I can find some more pictures, especially of Marceline!

Home stretch!

Fanime is tomorrow! Thank you to everyone who’s reblogged my ADAM syringe and dress! I’ve never had more popular posts! Little sister is pretty much done. I may leave the wig as is. It’s not perfect looking, but it also isn’t real hair so there’ll always be some margin of error.

Louise isn’t happening this year :( I found an even better pattern, but it wouldn’t get here in time to make. I’ll definitely have it for DragonCon!

All that’s left is to do laundry, pack, buy snacks and water, pick up my Marceline boots from the shoe repair (stretching the shafts), fit my fangs, pick up my dress from the cleaners (B&W ball), practice putting in my freaky contacts and doing my makeup for both Lil’ Sis and Marcy.

Regardless of whether I can bring it or not it’s done! Well, except for the nipple, but minor detail! EDIT: maybe I should post more nifty details? We followed Volpin’s tutorial as best as we could. It DOES light up! The body and bottle base were painted gold and the other details with a bronze(?) and then rubbed with watered down black acrylic paint. I slathered it on in small areas and immediately wiped it off with a paper towel. The ADAM is karo syrup with lots of red food coloring. Zoom

Sneak peek! My dress is all done! I used a cheese grater on the hems and spots like the sleeves and collar. I made yellow stains with tea. The hem was dipped quickly in dark brown RIT dye and scrunched with dye covered gloves. The green and faint blood spatters are watered down acrylic paint. Now to figure out the wig and makeup. Man, I hate styling wigs. Zoom

Oh yeah, LOOK AT MY PRETTY DRESS. The apron’s a tad shorter now and the gaps will be fixed up top, but it’s done! Now to mutilate it. Zoom

Mr. Bubbles is almost done! All he needs is another hand and he’s ready for Fanime! The syringe has a little ways to go, but I’m finally starting to paint it! The dress and apron are all done and just need distressing. Zoom

Gah! Fanime is 9 days away according to other folks! I’ve seen other people posting what they’re bringing so I’ll do it too! Progress is going well, I just have to calm down and remind myself I have time. Deep breathes…

FFFFFFFFuuu… So, I found out the other day that I can’t bring my ADAM syringe to Fanime because it doesn’t pass their weapons policy. I can’t even have it peace bonded because it’s made of metal (especially the needle) and glass. I especially felt bad because my fella busted his ass on what we had so far. After a momentary panic I decide that we could whip up the Little Sisters’ Big Daddy doll easily. We found all the pieces in one afternoon (including a baby doll for $1 and the perfectly aged softball for 50 cents!). Ideally I’ll have both the doll and the syringe that I can bring out for my photoshoot. Let’s see what gets finished Zoom

Little Sister is almost done! Tomorrow I’ll make the apron and do the buttons and then I get to start distressing it! My fella is still banging away at the syringe. We’re giving ourselves a deadline of the week before Fanime, but it’s starting to look like the end product! Apoxie Sculpt is challenging to work with, but I’m looking forward to painting the whole thing! Zoom
