Re: [h-cost] Costume Con

The workshops that Robin did last year were outstanding! I am offering to do workshops on digitally restoring antique photographs in Paint Shop Pro software and another on how to photograph costumes for the internet. I am also on the primary sources panel with Julie Zetterburg Sardro, webmaster o

Re: [h-cost] Costume Con

I encourage people to go to Costume-Con regardless of your level of costuming experience. I have been to two CC and find the people SO friendly. They love to talk about their costumes and how they made them. Last year I did meet more h-costumers than the one at Baltimore. The CCs seem to take o

Re: [h-cost] Costume Con

Being a panelist at a Costume Con doesn't mean that anyone will think you are an expert, only that you may have a different perspective on t he topic than the costumer sitting next to you. At my first CC, I Was on one panel, it was bit intimidiating ofr me (and I didn't even KNOW anyoneyet!) but t

Re: [h-cost] Costume Con

I realize that Costume Con is run entirely by volunteers, but, at the only one I attended, I found the education sessions to be distinctly sub-par. When I told a costumer friend about that later, she said, Well, you don't go to Costume Con for the education, you go for the masquerades. I wa

Re: [h-cost] Costume Con

That's me! :) Hi, Stacey! I like to think I still make amazing dolls, and collect other amazing dolls, all of which I then costume. :) Stacey, if you make up one of the "Single Patterns" and cannot make it to the Fashion Show, you can, if you chose, designate someone else to show it off for

Ann - are you the same Ann who worked with Whitney and made the amazing ocks and dolls? No, but sounds like it might wish I was. Ann Wass -Original Message- From: Stacey Dunleavy To: h-cost...@indra.com Sent: Thu, Jan 27, 2011 3:04 pm Subject: [h-cost] Costume Con Sorry about

Sorry about that, chief - I'm spoiled with the email software that notes names at the top. Ann - are you the same Ann who worked with Whitney and made the amazing socks and dolls? I feel I have no amount of expertise and I couldn't possibly be a panelist. I'm trying to get a design for the single

Re: [h-cost] Costume con

Re: [h-cost] Costume con

I have never been to a Costume Con. This year it is about 45 minutes from me. What does the Registration Fee allow me to do? Are there workshops, exhibits, etc open for the price of Registration? What about the Ball and other Get Togethers? Please explain to a First Timer. Thanks. Susan NJ

Re: [h-cost] Costume con

Go to the Masquerades--they are staged costume contests with skits. Attend as many workshops & panels as you can--in or out of your current interests. Schmooze & get to know costumers. They may be going into raptures over seeing one another--that's because we're from Boston, Atlanta, Nebraska,
