Crafty Tuesday Falling Way Behind on D’Con 2011
Posted By Kathleen David on July 26, 2011
I am behind on my schedule by quite a bit. The only thing I got done this week was the muslin for the X-outfit and I even didn’t finish that.
It is 37 days to DragonCon and I am behind. Not a great place to be but I think I can get back on track.
I also added one thing to the list because someone is going to be a DragonCon and due to events at SDCC, I am making him a puppet. I am more than happy to do so since he is such a cool guy and I have all the materials already for this one so it is just a matter of construction.
It does mean that one or two things that I might have done have gone into the idea bin until the next convention.
I do think I did solve my biggest “How the heck am I going to achieve that effect” yesterday. It is going to be interesting if it works the way I want it do. If not then I go to plan B which will take twice as long as plan A.
So starting today as a subsection of this blog is going to be the How many Days to DragonCon and what did I get done that day to give me some kind of idea of where I am.
I think part of it has to do with I need to throw myself into the X-outfit rather than keep thinking about it. I have thought and researched it to a fare-thee-well but since the outfits are all different, I have some latitude as to what I am going to make. So I need to take that and know that whatever I make, it will look good enough for DragonCon. Then onto the prop for the piece which is going to be a lot of work in its own right.
After that I start on the DragonCon Art Show Build. Parts are going to go fast and other parts are going to take longer than I hoped. But 37 days and I just need to put one foot in front of the other and start down the path to creation which I can do.
Peter gets back today from his adventures on the West Coast. I know it will be a day or two before he is back to normal and it will be nice to have the parental backup again.
I am grateful for what I did figure out so I can just go for the gusto and just make things now.
