I absolutely love this!  I have that exact pattern lying around somewhere (likely buried in a giant tub under fabric and notions  XD), so I know what one of my summer projects will be!  Is it lined? 

[Slymenstra Hymen from GWAR]

So, this is my first post of my work to Craftster despite having lurked here for well over a year.    I'm twitchy and a little shy, what can I say?  LOL.  I'm almost constantly making things, but I never remember to take pictures in the process, etc. and then I don't want to post just the finished product.  Well, I'm finally buckling down to do it by showing off three of the costumes I've made.  It's taking a lot to ignore how bad they are because I've really improved on my sewing skills.  XD

Slymenstra Hymen from GWAR



I made this for Halloween 2007.  It's the chick that used to be part of the shock rock band GWAR.  The entire thing is made from materials I got at Wal-Mart and threw together in less than 6 hours.  The boots were already a part of my closet.  The armor is entirely made of white posterboard which I cut, folded, stapled, and then spraypainted to make look like metal.  It's built on a plain black bra.

Zatanna Zatara of DC Comics



Zatanna is probably one of my favorite comic book characters.  Since this picture was taken in August of 2008 this costume has gone through several changes.  The jacket is now scrapped, the sleeves of the tuxedo shirt have been taken up, and I'm in the market for a new top hat as the old one is about to cave in on itself.  Hopefully by Origins Game Fair this June, I'll have a yellow cummerbund to replace the vest as well.  The shoes aren't visible, but I wear knee-high black vinyl boot spats over black heels.

Gijinka Lickitung of Pokemon



Lickitung is one of my favorite Pokemon (though I can't figure out why since it kinda sucks in battle).  I made this in 2008 as well.  It's all jersey fabric and an altered Simplicity pattern whose number is lost to the ages.  The part I love most about this is the visor, which the tongue is actually attached to.    The gentlemen on either side of me are from the Pokemon fan-band Ultraball.

Thanks for looking!  Hopefully I can get some more recent works up soon.  

This is gorgeous!  It's almost like you stepped out of a fantasy novel and into real life.    Also, in a couple of those pictures you look almost dead-on like Claire from Lost.  I about flipped when the pictures loaded.  XD

I absolutely adore this!  It must have taken you ages to get all of the information for the pages sorted out and then put where it belonged.

This is easily one of THE most creative HP crafts I've ever seen!  All the tiny details with the picture and flowers plus your explanation are absolutely wonderful. 

That looks amazing!    I have a hard time believing that this is only your second cake.

Also, I'm jealous of your bf's epic Snorlax shirt.

I love this!  I would definitely invest in one, particularly if it were Green Arrow comics.  On a semi-unrelated side note: I have the issue you got the back from, with the little boy in the cross t-shirt.  XD

What an excellent pattern!  I bet it's going to make for some awesome stashbuster projects.  *glances at overflowing yarn basket*  Perhaps I should take my own advice.

And he is a cutie!  You'll have to keep up updated as to how many Craftster ladies seek him out.  XD

Yay, geeky recons!  I always feel like such a dork because my re-con bag is filled with Transformers, Call of Duty, Zelda, and anime convention t-shirts, but this gives me hope!  I really love the Metal Gear tank.  I wish my Hot Topic carried those shirts. 

As soon as I read L.E.I. and "deconstructed" I knew exactly what shirts you were talking about.  XD  I've worked at Wal-Mart for far too long.

Anyway, I love this!  Your version definitely looks better than what's in the store, and I love the printed message.  Never been a big fan of plain shirts.
