Shopping trip costume bits photos and possible new costume and hiatus

Hiya
another update, containing a notice of hiatus due to upcoming school exams, and
photos of what I got on my shopping day which i blogged about a couple of weeks ago

Firstly to Illyria


Red top [X] Check
I still need...
Blue lipstick
Blue eyeliner
blue temporary hairspray
Icy blue contacts
a Red skirt
and metallic blue base make up of some sort
(I don't have a clue about make up... I don't usually wear it)

Wonderbolt Hoodie


Okay so it's slightly darker shade of blue than i wanted
You can't really tell from the photo, the light from my room washes out a lot of the blueness of it.
Changing fabric or thread to fabric paint because it will be less time consuming to apply and will be cheaper.
So still need to get that in white and yellow
and I'm still trying to work out how on earth i'm gonna do the goggles.....
I'll get back to you readers on that.
--Edit--
Okay realized my hoodie is too dark a blue for it's original purpose.
So, dark blue, a couple of light blue shades, and white fabric paint will be needed to turn it into a Princess Luna Hoodie.

And Finally the River Tam Boots


Best find ever
$50 dollars from the warehouse. I don't know how long they will last, but still a good find.
Worn with my blue dress, Instant River Tam costume.
Okay, it's not that accurate. but still, it's better to have something close then nothing, right.

Okay now on to my possible costume....
This one is for Dr Horrible
This needs
Labcoat [X]
Goggles [ ]
Baggy white trousers [X]
Thick white gloves [ ]
White Gumboots [ ]
I've found instructions for the goggles online (Click here)
and i have a labcoat i can use as well as the white trousers, so just need the stuff for the goggles, the white gumboots and gloves and that costume is done.


So that's all for this update

Shopping trip (Updates for Illyria and Wonderbolt Hoodie, also River Tam)

Went shopping today and managed to get the Blue hoodie I need as a base for my wonderbolt hoodie.
Still need yellow thread and time to make it though.

I also managed to get a redish top for my Illyria costume
which leaves a redish skirt, the blue contacts, and blue make up, and temporary blue hair spray to get.

I also found a perfect pair of boots for a River Tam costume,
Which still leaves a dress for that costume.

So yeah
That's my update.
Pics coming soon

Ponies have taken over my brain (Update, Ponies and New Temporary project)

Okay for those who are not familiar with the My Little Pony craze that is sweeping through the internet like a plague let me catch you up.

*thinks hard* hmmmmm
Okay I can't really catch you up. I have no clue how i got addicted to My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic in the first place.
but while surfing the interwebs looking for cute pics of ponies

I stumbled onto this, A design for a wonderbolts hoodie. My brain went ... then went crazy.
The wonderbolts are the top flying team in Equestria....
Here is one of the mane cast modeling the outfits the wonderbolts wear in the show.
I have seen designs for hoodies of some of the other characters as well, which are cool too.

So that's my project for the next few weeks, I've also seen a few designs for other stuff like dresses. Some of which are really pretty. like a humanised version of fluttershy's gala dress
or this one of rarity she has done one for each of the mane cast so yeah.
I might attempt one a bit later in the year.
haven't found anything for princess luna yet for that area, please let me know if you find something

For this project I'm going to need
[ ] plain, bright blue hoodie
[ ] lots of either yellow fabric or embroidery thread
[ ] Time to do this.

If you haven't seen Friendship is Magic yet, check it out.
I know it's up on youtube, and if you don't speak English, I'm pretty sure it will be in your language soon or at least with subtitles in your language.
