That is a lot to do by August 27th. On the hair stuff I hope to get some help from Erika since she can do awesome hair. Everything else is me. Though lferion made the Hawkeye and Star Wars dresses, I'm not gonna lie there. I would not be as far as I am without her. scribe_ari patterned out my Baroness dress.

I've been uploading pictures to my "Sewing" Album on Flickr Click Here. So track progress there etc. Lots of things are in the ugly teenage stage but I'm really happy with the Kabuki Raven stuff and the painting Icka and I have been doing. Its awesome and exactly what was in my head.

So, there is the cosplay update for today.
