Ahsoka, Padme, Elsa, Mina, Elissa... got a few projects on the make or make over
Ahsoka is testing my patience in 3D modelling and working with latex again. But on the upside it turns out I can stretch higher density leather! It just takes the perfect temperature of water for the molding part. Yay
I need to now orient all the pieces- cura should be okay to test for errors as well. And then I need to get the gcode and retest my printer. I need to make the hooks for her belt pieces so that can be the first test.
I need to take dremel to seams (the felt bit works very well on latex) but the back lekku is at least ready to be coated and stuffed. But I am not sure I like what I have made so there may be a bit of a tour of options.
And padme. Dress of much fabric. And stamping. And specifically placed wrinkles.
There is 30 rows of stitching holding the ribbon down. I did it by hand originally but decided to add a strength lining and figured it would be good to machine sew for stability.
That bodice is in two parts yes, this is a quick change costume on stage I'm trying to get the hem to play nicely but I need even more net and more horsehair braid. maybe even some boning.

Re: What's on your workbench?
Thank you I'm also working on an Anne of Cleves gown that I think hasn't been identified as hr. The curse of the fail has hit all of these projects so that's why there has not been much in the way of updating.
I also rearranged the studio to feel more like a studio, workflow is better again
And now there are also a pair of equestrian boots out there and a piece of nearly identical leather to make covers for the zips. I'll have plenty left other for anyone else needing them. I hope. Otherwise it's in the "fantasy" hides at LAPCO. it's a very thin fine grain and crisp leather on a shelf between waist and thigh to the very far left of the wall. $10/hide about 50x50cm from memory.

Re: What's on your workbench?
Ok since we're discussing non-SW props/ costumes I am sloooowwwwwly chipping away at this guy. This one's definitely at the bottom of the projects pile it's really only when I get a spare moment here and there but it's been an interesting exercise in seeing how far I can push the vac forming thing. I am able to make the forms fairly quickly as I don't have to worry about a super smooth finish for this guy.
I hope to get up the hips by the end of the year ha we'll see
