A work in progress. Here's where I'm at on Charlotte's dragon headress for Halloween -- a 3D sketch. So far I've built, in effect, a dragon dressform from a foam alligator hat, a pumpkin head and a metal jug. Now to create a pattern and sew, sew, sew.
Fun to see the process, huh? Let's hope the finished result measures up. Of course, now that I've let you in on it, there's no backing down.
Little time, big ambition. I'm heading off for Houston in less than two days and there's no shortage of other work I have to squeeze in as well. Aaah!
Wow! Can't wait to see the final result. It looks incredible!

Looks exciting. :)
I've just been in the same stress'y situation. Had to be everywhere at once while making a wedding dress for my friend, and we're practising for a concert at the moment, and I'm trying to create a newsletter, working on layout, and I'm not a coder and... and... and.... everything all at once... *phew* .. Guess I just needed to get that off my chest - sorry it had to be your comment space. :) But the project looks awesome. :) Good luck.
