Ottawa Comiccon 2013

The cutest people at the convention were definitely these fuzzy characters!

I found a Hexadecimal!

I even found a second AndAIa!

Ottawa comiccon 2013 was a blast!

I decided to go with AndrAIa from reboot for my costume this year. The trident was tricky to make but I think it turned out quick well. I was lucky enough to find pants the right colour / pattern and modified shirt and boots I found at Value Village. The accessories (starfish hair pin, belt, necklace, arm fins, leg fins) were all constructed from various craft materials.
Seeing everyone dressed up was a blast. There were plenty of Batmans and Jokers, and I even managed to find a few other Reboot characters. The panels were great, I think my favorite was the Star Trek Improv (The Laugh of Kahn!). There were plenty of great vendors (I managed to find a fantastic digital art book) as well as lots of incredibly talented artists (including Petri Ratanen who makes stained glass sci-fi / comic-book characters).

Stay Fabulous!

Photo Edit: We have fun when no ones looking. . .

Sometimes, when we are in studio, and we've just completed a project and we have a bit of spare time (or need a break before we start our next project) we do silly things like this.

Thanks to my friends Charlie, Will and Kim  for providing me with this great image to edit.

Cupcakes for springtime.

I love spring, and I love cupcakes.
What better way to welcome spring time than with pastel rainbow cupcakes?

An Evening in Downtown Ottawa

 

The parliament buildings are gorgeous when they are all lit up during the winter holidays. The trees allover the downtown area are covered in multi-coloured strings of  lights. It's definitely worth the journey into the cold to see the lights. If you do get cold a visit to the Centennial Flame might help warm your hands.

Stay Fabulous!

Vintage Purses

This should e the last post on the Ottawa Vintage show that I make. There were so many amazing pieces at the show that I wish I could show you all of them.
I can't wait until next years show.

Hats and Fur Galore

Feathers everywhere! Feathered and furry hats were very popular.

A wall of vintage Chanel.

Beaded and sequin clothing were also very popular. I love the way they glittered.

Fox Fur. Gorgeous or creepy? I'll let you decide.

More vintage clothing after the break!

Jewels, Trinkets and Lace

The Vintage show was a lot of fun, there were plenty of lovely accessories and jewellery. More Photos to come!

Stay Fabulous,

Easy as ABC

This week in studio, our assignment was a short creative project: We had one day (6 hours) to go out into the world to find objects in sturctures and in nature that resmbled letters. We then had to create an alphabet of letters and spell out words with them. See more examples after the break!
