And don't forget to post the details and any tutorials for the DIY parts-- this blog is a continuing source of ideas (not to mention covetousness) for me. I recently made a smashed penny necklace that I have gotten tons of compliments on, thanks to your inspiration!
Why am I imagining a steampunk female version of Link from Zelda...... I can't wait to see the rest! (Read: I hope you post pictures on here after the Con is over!)
Oh my gosh WANT. I'm doing steampunk for the first time for Halloween this year, and just trying to find parts for everything let alone steampunk it up is difficult but SUPER fun! What is your favorite attacha-ma-stuff especially when working with metal and plastic?
Good golly that looks beautiful. From what I can see, the color scheme looks absolutely lovely. And I adore that weaved belt! I hope there'll be full photos in the future if it looks that great from such a close up shot. I wish I could pop by Dragon*Con to see in person (along with all the other cool things going on there, lol), but alas this Arizonan can't be up and leaving state any time soon. (long-time reader, first-time commenter, by the by. c:)
GRRL!!! Why aren't you making stuff to sell on Etsy? I'd buy that in a HEARTbeat! :D
But I gotta ask, what do you use to adhere all these awesome gears and bling to your projects? I loved the flux capacitor pin modification, for example, but have no idea how you made the lovely corner embellishments stick. Inquiring minds (who like to lift ideas and copy things) want to know!!!
Wow that is a beautiful bracelet! And that leather lattice detail in what I assume is a belt is a great touch! Can't wait to see more pics of the entire outfit! Hope you stay cool & comfortable :)
What a great teaser photo. I can't wait to see the rest!
I had an idea though: Looks like that button on your vest would be perfect to replace with one of your domed pennies you made for your curtains. I hope that doesn't sound too stalker-ish, being all I know what your house looks like! haha.
Oh, Jen, I have said it before... I love you! :) So sad I didn't plan better and am not there AGAIN. Please post full pictures for those of us too ADD to get our priorities straight. And who have the creativity of a lump of coal. But skillz. Someone give me an idea and I can make it. So thank you for sharing. Now just start selling "kits" for assembly with some raw materials and an idea.
I get the feeling you're going as a steampunk princess (which, given what I know about you, seems entirely appropriate). Love the bracelet. Any chance we'll get a picture of you in full costume afterwards? Please? :) At least the full costume?
Ooh, pretty. With the wings and crown it reminds me of the jewellery at this etsy shop, aka the creater of the bizenghast graphic novels. Which are delightfully creepy/gothic/victorian/ruffly. I can't wait to see more of your costume pictures, the skill and perseverance to put towards creating is very inspiring :).
I know you've probably had a great time and don't want to leave, but I can't wait to see your pictures. Hurry up and get home, will ya!;-) (But be safe.)
Ok, I've been looking at this on and off for a while. You need a cool watch fob. (also, have you ever seen those jars of old meatal antique buttons at antique stores? Think about all different buttons.)
You all looked awesome! It was great to see you. I will email you our picture after I get home, get unpacked, get the pictures off the camera... (sigh)
Vm: remosie - i have remosie that I didn't get to see all the Dragon*Con panels I wanted to, but the lines were too long

That. Is. Amazing.

ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect teaser photo! Can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI had an idea though: that button on your vest looks ideal to be replaced with one of your domed pennies you made for your curtains. Just a thought!
Oh come on! Need...to...see...pretty costume!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great teaser photo. I can't wait to see the rest!

Hot dang! I can see why :) Love the teaser - I'm going with some kind of Amelia Earhart thing ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be super jealous, aren't I?
ReplyDeleteYep. I'm going to be so jealous.
Tease.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! You have such a good eye. I never would have come up with such a great design!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your bracelet! We need a DIY tutorial for that one : )

ReplyDeleteI, like the others, can't wait to see the whole outfit...I think we might be *as* excited as you are. Living vicariously through you on this one! :)
Oh, Jen, I have said it before... I love you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sad I didn't plan better and am not there AGAIN. Please post full pictures for those of us too ADD to get our priorities straight. And who have the creativity of a lump of coal.

If I had a bracelet that awesome. . . I might actually wear a bracelet. I love it. Can't wait for the rest!
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling you're going as a steampunk princess (which, given what I know about you, seems entirely appropriate). Love the bracelet.
ReplyDeleteAny chance we'll get a picture of you in full costume afterwards? Please? :) At least the full costume?
Woot!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a tease!
ReplyDelete*dies* Wow. That is one stunning cuff. I'd never take it off either!
ReplyDeleteI have been scanning the pics posted so far by friends for you in the background. ^_~
I cannot wait to see the rest of the outfit.
Oh, wow! Super cool! I can't wait to see pics, and a tutorial for that cuff. :)
ReplyDeletePretty darn amazing, Jen! Hope you and John have a wonderful time at the CON!
ReplyDeleteOoh, pretty. With the wings and crown it reminds me of the jewellery at this etsy shop, aka the creater of the bizenghast graphic novels. Which are delightfully creepy/gothic/victorian/ruffly. I can't wait to see more of your costume pictures, the skill and perseverance to put towards creating is very inspiring :).
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put my money on Steampunk Wonder Woman. Very. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI know you've probably had a great time and don't want to leave, but I can't wait to see your pictures. Hurry up and get home, will ya!;-) (But be safe.)
ReplyDeleteOk, I've been looking at this on and off for a while. You need a cool watch fob. (also, have you ever seen those jars of old meatal antique buttons at antique stores? Think about all different buttons.)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for pictures form Dragon Con!!!! Hurry up and come back!
ReplyDeleteYou all looked awesome! It was great to see you. I will email you our picture after I get home, get unpacked, get the pictures off the camera... (sigh)
ReplyDeleteVm: remosie - i have remosie that I didn't get to see all the Dragon*Con panels I wanted to, but the lines were too long
I had that exact belt! I say had, because although I loved it, it fell to bits. Watch out for that, because I've not found another one since!
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous though missie, hope you had a wonderful time.
WV: poodip. Need I say more?
GOOD GOD.
ReplyDeletethe suspense is killing me!!
have mercy, Jen! have mercy!! show the costume!!!
