Happy Holidays from my furry four-legged children, Boris and Natasha! 

Merry Merry!

Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Doctor Who Wallpaper

I needed a Christmas-y Doctor Who wallpaper for my computer monitors at work. In New Orleans, it just doesn't feel like Christmas right now. So here's a quick wallpaper I threw together to get you in the holiday spirit!

And for your Facebook cover photo:

Have a Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Christmas!

Best BFF ever!

After Alex gave me this early Christmas present of a glass TARDIS ornament, I decided to go ahead with a Doctor Who themed Christmas Tree this year. We started on Weeping Angel tree toppers (still in progress), inspired by this tutorial by Cynthia at The Creative Crossing. I'll post pictures of those once they're finished.

Since I only had time to make a few ornaments, I filled up the rest of the tree with "TARDIS Blue" glass ornaments, stuck random doctor who toys into the tree (like my blue dalek, wind-up weeping angel, and 11th doctor sonic screwdriver) and then topped off the tree with a fez and a bowtie!

Here are a couple of the ornaments I made. The adipose are made of Sculpey and the Van Gogh TARDIS exploding is decoupaged onto a glass ornament. After being approached about selling the adipose ornaments, I'm trying to get an annual Doctor Who Handmade Ornament Swap going on to not only build up my Whovian ornament collection, but also to spread the crafty cheer to those looking to make their tree a bit more wibbly-wobbly or timey-wimey. Let me know if you're interested!

Classy Femme Boba Fett

This is what I've been playing around with for one of my costumes for Dragon*Con next year. I'm on the hunt for a decent Boba Fett helmet that isn't terribly expensive. I'm even looking to purchase an unfinished "bucket" and then do my own painting/add visor/add voice amplifier. So, we'll see. A friend is going to help me make the dress (so I don't end up sewing myself to something) and we're going to alter an underbust corset that I already have.

I think I'm leaning more to the one on the right.

New website, new tools, new jewelry!

My website, www.angelafalcone.com, has been totally revamped. Check it out and let me know what you think. I created a special mobile site since the main website is flash, so that's what you will get if you're viewing from your phone.

Anyway, I got a new riveting tool for my birthday. Super exciting! I've also had minimal saw blade breakage lately and that makes me happy. (I hope I didn't jinx myself just now...) So, here are a few things I've been working on.

Alex and I are doing the Gretna Farmers Market this weekend with her knitted stuff and my jewelry. Should be fun!

Wizard World Comic Con: New Orleans 2012

My friend's daughter as Amelia Pond in front of the TARDIS

Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans came twice this year. Once again, there were some great celebrity guests, but my favorite thing to do at comic cons is to check out all of the costumes. Alex and I wore our Dalek and TARDIS dresses. It was a bit difficult to take photos of costumes when you're being stopped to take photos as well, but here are a few pictures I snagged with my phone:

This was given to me at the con by a girl who was super excited about my dalek dress and she drew this for me! How sweet is that!?! This now has a permanent spot on my fridge!
