That's a wrap on the first weekend of Chippewa Valley Logjam Wild West Fest and Steampunk Spectacular. I've driven the longest solo drive I've ever driven (twice - once late-ish at night! Slept in my homemade hammock. Our headliner and procurer of booth space is Safety Pinner. Kim, making more Grimly hats. This fear, of cour...

Unpronounceable Designs: So, 2014 happened.

http://unpronounceabledesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/so-2014-happened.html

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. So, 2014 happened. Oh dear. It appears I've been remiss in my posting again. I started November with TeslaCon V. There were dinosaurs. The end. Wait. About doing a basic costuming seminar there! That I did in undergrad (which I'm very proud of), and was wondering if that would work as the writing sample for my application. The answer was No. An encouraging...

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Friday, August 29, 2014. The Aftermath of Awesome. Is that I have a hard time making a post about the awesome, apparently. I'm back from GenCon! It was quite the adventure bringing Here At The End. Sadly, although there was dancing, the Overlord reneged on his vow and neither nudity nor roofs were involved. People loved us. even the staff! Here's some footage from the Costume Parade.

Unpronounceable Designs: July 2014

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Slight Case of Flounder. I am in the sort of mental state where that post title makes me imagine turning partway into a weird sideways fish, and I can't determine whether that mental image is hilarious or sad. I think I'm going to go with hilarious. We're leaving for GenCon. So I should actually prep for the next Deeplight. I have a couple commissions that I've b...

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Here At The End. I'm here to talk to you about H.A.T.E. You see those punctuation marks, clearly marking H.A.T.E. as an acronym? Yeah, this is going to be a much less serious talk than the title and first sentence may make you think. But it IS very important, especially if plan to attend GenCon Indy. Here At The End. Series, and if you're looking for a Fallout LA...

Unpronounceable Designs: October 2014

http://unpronounceabledesignsblog.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. So I'm pretty sure this is the closest I've even been to Halloween without having any idea what my costume should be. This is largely (or at least partly) because I work a closing shift on Halloween, and I keep forgetting to ask my supervisors what company policy on Halloween costumes is. :/. To tie the look together, or maybe a Mechanicsburg Arms patch.

http://unpronounceabledesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/packing-day.html

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Alright, the bell's rung for this round. I took some metaphorical blows to the head, in the form of various time-sucking distractions (wrangling Etsy orders, cleaning the living room after a catastrophic lightbulb failure, 5-hour sanity break to hang out in the cigar box guitar workshop and design a case for my new Evil ukulele), but I'm still standing. Anyways, ...

Unpronounceable Designs: Ukeleles and Home Improvement and Research, Oh My!

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Ukeleles and Home Improvement and Research, Oh My! Been some time, as usual, although it's tripped by rather quickly for me. I've been a little more active over on Facebook. And done some updating on Etsy. Went really well this time around, too! In other news, I'm teaching myself to play the ukelele, as I threatened in my previous blog! Also, lots of Greeks, alt...

A chronicle of my adventures in costume design, theatrical hopes, and the perils of turning my passion into a business. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. I think I may have overdone it. I had like a week or two (maybe longer? Then I noticed how many balls I had in the air, panicked, dropped them all, and spent the better part of the last three (or was it five? Days playing Fallout 3. Fail at life. Just mostly. So, that's where I'm at! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Adventurers Day Pack. View my complete profile.
