I went to my first convention!!!!!
 

Not a reptile convention though..

Yesterday, I attended CONvergecne.. the theme this year was "Steampunk".. (next year will be wonder women)

So I had about 1 week to make something to wear to go!! So I took a crack at steampunk accessories :D

NEXT.. I plan to find a good Elvira costume to wear to Crypticon (horror convention) that is coming up in November.

Here are the photos of what I made, as well as a few photos from the convention..

Excellant! The costuming looks grand and you look superb in it!

Thanks hun! :D It was fun

You look awesome! Looks like tons of fun!

Very cool, Brandi, you put a LOT of work into that!

There's a town in New Zealand (Omaru) that is aiming to be the steampunk capital of the southern hemisphere - they weren't quite ready when I was there but some of their sculptures look great. Check it out at:
