Chicon 7 Report

Chicon seemed to be a huge success! I had lots of people at my panels, ran some pretty fun parties, and entered the Masquerade in this:

And this is what happened:

I won the Chicagoland Costumers' Guild's MOB Award as well as Best in Show Presentation and Best in Show Workmanship! I was totally overwhelmed for days afterward!

Now that I'm back I'll be posting some updates on the Lake Dress' making of that I didn't get around to before the convention as well as getting some updates done around here. This morning I worked on getting the basics of my gallery up and running, and I hope to get the video tutorials updated from April as well as getting some pictures up in the gallery in the next week.
