Not that I like to list things or
something 8-)

Still need to order/buy:

- Finish the crown (paper mache, foam, spray-paint
and decorate)

- Close up things in
the skirt.

- Make the "collar" and

Another update!!

And yet again, Laura and I have
done ALOT about Imperia Crimson!

We made the frame of the crown,
have to cover it up, paint it and
do the decorations ^^.

The dress is mostly attached now,
I've tried it with an old petticoat
and the bumroll.

Things do to still: attach the
other sleeve, attach the last things
of the skirt, cut the skirt to the right length
and decorate! And ofcourse make the right petticoat.

You can see on the pictures that it only makes it
wide near the hips, but what we want is to make
a complete width in the skirt.

Still to order/buy:
- Tulle
- Beads, gems and ornaments.
- Lenses
- Spray paint
- Some kind of glue

And now, the pictures we made of the great
progress we've made in these three days!;

The great update!

Soo!

I've spent last monday till thursday
with La <3

We've been working very hard on Imperia
Crimson :D and I'd proudly show you
the progress we've made together :D!

The bumroll! XD (yes it's called like that.. it's another thing to make the skirt wider and will be placed around the waist underneath the petticoat)



The gorgeous front of the skirt.



The beautiful top with one complete sleeve and one front piece
of the skirt :3.


The unattached sleeve :P


And more loose parts that would complete the outfit <3
Still need to sew on the decorations in time :3


Soo..

There's still a lot to do

- Tulle
- Cotton
- Gems (larger black/red)
- Lenses
- To figure out a way to succesfully make
a crown T_T

I'll show you a little somethinnnggg..
I've made a rough sketch of how I'd look
with the wig, crown and lenses :P
Made it with paint X3



Pretty cool huh? XD

YAY!
Finally found the cable to
upload pictureees :33

Soo I was experimenting with
the make up.. This is what came out:




Not really what I'm looking for..

Annnd I want to show you the fabrics I already had!
The Royal Red looks a little pink, but that's because of the flashlight in the camera XD





Well, Paige liked the fabrics X3

Gemss!

Soo the gems are heeeere..
But I think the red and black ones
are a bit too small XD..
3-4mm >_> while my pearls are 8mm...

Soo have to send the gems back..

In the meanwhile some great news!
I'm moving to Sittard :D (still the same
province, more up).

We're hoping to start living there
halfway July..

YAY!

Yeaaaaahh I got home last night
and Patrick was like "Oh yeah, there's
a package for you, it came in on saturday"

I jumped to the kitchen and picked up the package,
ripped it open and yeah.. MY WIG!!! :D:D

Amazing.. I ordered and payed it on friday,
and they recieved the payment and sent the
package on the same day O_O

My god they're fast.. Perfect! :D

So you're wondering what I might look like
in this wig huh? :3

Well have a look :D



AAhaha :3 j/k but it also looks good on the buddha ne? :3
Alright, here it comes :3





And? :3
God XD have to get used to the bangs XD itchyyy

Tulle!

So here I am at my parent's house in Germany..

They still have some stuff that belongs to me,
but my house is really small to fit it all in XD

So I knew I had some red tulle at their house that
I was planning to use on another project, but since
that never happend and being busy on Imperia Crimson
now, 5(!)metres of red tulle could always come in handy XD

So I'm taking that home, and I also want to order more tulle
at a webshop that also have a store (too far away for me)..

I visited the store once with Laura to buy fabrics :3
So the tulle's gonna cost me 15 euro's :3 Maybe a tiny
bit more adding shipping costs, but not much more ^^

OH Yeah! I ordered the wig! This is the wig I ordered:


Isn't she pwetty n_n I'm not sure if the length is right, but I can
always cut off a tiny piece :3

Hope to recieve the wig around monday, tuesday..
perhaps wednesday :3 YAY! Can't wait to see how it looks
and to show you guys XD

Well... Laura, since she's the only follower ._.

Another look

So, let's have another look at the gorgeous design that Laura drew for me..



*swoons* Can you imagine me walking gracefully wearing this gorgeous dress?
*-*..

Anyway, I recieved the foam this week :D
Thinking about zooming in on this design to the crown and draw it over..
Hmm.. what more..



Oh yes!
I'd like to update my "grocery list" XD since I know some exact prices :3

Needs:                                 Costs:
Wig                                       30 euro´s
Props (head and net)         ±10 euro's
Paint (3 kinds)                     ±15 euro's
Gems                                     21,90 euro´s
Fake lashes                         ±5 euro´s

Total:                                 ±81,90 euro´s..

Seems like alot.. And there might be some changes in the prices, but if I have all of this, I might have everything I still need to actually make the whole dress :D
Tulle is the only thing I need to order.. What was it again.. 8 to 10 metres I think? And it's 1,50 a meter :3 And actually to complete the whole look I still need colored lenses.. Trying to find a shop that sells them for a normal price XD

I also still need to buy some other kinds of gems, golden framed ones to be specific ^^ I already showed you the links, I'll just add the pictures of the things I MIGHT order as well :3







Really cute huh?.. I might order some or all.. But most of them will be made on the dress itself, haven't found a pretty frame that might fit on my crown.. Perhaps the flower :3 I'm not planning on buying a lot of those.. I hope I can afford it all XP I know Laura would love to help me out when I'm in financial trouble, but I want to buy them all myself >=(


Oh! I haven't shown the wig I want to order yet! :3
Look! Which one do you think I should order???
Hmm.. I'm wearing a high "collar".. shouldn't I go
look for a short haired wig???





































































A little edit..
I changed the crown and did the wig with bangs :3 look!
What do you think? :3

Hmm I'll order the second wig :3 Can't wait to see how it looks on me *dances*

Gems!

Collecting some links for the right gems X3
I'll add the pictures of the ones I'm going to order ^^

Laura made some calculations for me to find out how many
gems I need to order in which colors :3

I need 100 red gems, a 100 black gems, 250 pearl gems

http://www.sayila.nl/shopmenu.asp?mainmenu=beads&submenu=626 the black and red gems (8 euro's)

http://www.sayila.nl/shopmenu.asp?mainmenu=beads&submenu=1174 the pearls (7,50 euro's)

http://www.sayila.nl/shopmenu.asp?mainmenu=beads&submenu=1174 golden pearls (3,90)

Total! -> 19,40 euro's plus 2,50 shipping costs = 21,90 euro's
YAY! Let's add the pictures!

Put together by Laura :3



Some idea's of other decorations :3

http://www.sayila.nl/shopmenusearch.asp?action=searchbycolor&searchitem=55&page=13

We'll see what follows :3 I'll update this later :3

Upgrade!!

Hiii~!

So Laura drew another design for my new
dress, an upgrade as it were XP
But it's so gorgeous O_O I mean,
Look!



Isn't she a genius <3

The Crown!

Soo I'm planning to start off with the crown.
I will make it with craft foam.

Here are some links what people made with craft foam, really cool!
http://rydain.org/cms/media/1/20061230-In%20Flowers%20(Mach13)%20300x400.jpg
really nice armor, made with craft foam.

http://www.mydisguises.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/craft-foam-armor.jpg
also parts of armor, I need those colours for my crown, but more like the left one, I really need to make it look like it's real gold ^^;.

http://www.lanceagena.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/penwiper_elvenarmor.jpg
the complete armor :P really awesome..

Well reading some blogs and tutorials about how to use it makes it more of a challenge.. It's not going to be easy!

Hmm let's see.. I've found a site where I can order them.. That would be this one http://nl.ebid.net/for-sale/white-craft-foam-sheet-a4-8543958.htm

And it seems like I would need a max of 10 sheets in case I screw up during the process XD.. Would be abouttt 11 dollars.. 8 euro's?
Not too expensive and the shipping costs are included!

Well now I need to find a good paint that would make it look like it's real gold.. *searches*..

http://www.alrhobby.nl/ Hmm let's keep this one in mind.. This site has LOTS of hobby products. I am thinking about buying their gold paint and maybe some gemstones.. However, this site is Dutch! So for my English friends it might be hard to read ;3.

Besides the foam and gemstones, I will also need pearls and pearl "chains".. But this would be a simple task. I have some pearl thingies here at home and I could also buy a pearl necklace and use it for the crown ^^.

And I think I would be down to the last thing I need.. I would need iron wire(?) to make the crown stronger and such.. I believe Laura has some, so I might not need to buy it myself..

Once I have all these materials, I will be able to get started! :D Oh! And I think it might be wise to order the wig and wighead and net in order to make it fit in ;3..

Let's make a small calculation :3

Needs:                                 Costs:
Wig                                       30 euro´s
Props (head and net)         ±10 euro's
Paint (3 kinds)                     ±15 euro's
Gems                                    ±20 euro´s
Fake lashes                         ±5 euro´s

Total:                                 ±80 euro´s..

80 euro´s for the head only O_O...
Hmm doubting about buying colorlenses..
I really do want them.. They´d be the final touch..

Well, the good thing is, I already bought
the royal red velvet (I suppose it's velvet..,
and black lace for the dress..
To make my skirt huge and wide, I'm going to need tulle(?) for
the petticoat.

I already have one black petticoat. I think I might use
that petticoat for this. And I also have app. 3 metres of
red tulle. I might need an additional.. 10 metres to be sure
I think ^^.. Let's see how much that will cost ^^.
15 euro's! That's less than I expected :3

Soo 15 plus 80 = 95 euro's if I haven't overseen anything XD
But this costume will be ridiculously gorgeous, and outstanding >:3
I made the app. calculations bigger than they will be, so it can only be cheaper XD

Well, that's it for now!

F-ing html >________________>

*update* I just ordered Craftfoam for 7 euro's total :3 I updated the "grocery list" XD

Imperia Crimson

Yay! So here the pictures of how my costume will look like if everything goes well ^^

*clears throat* I hereby present you;
