I've been searching through the past posts here and have read a few things I hadn't known before.. And they've made me utterly confused! What is this about the...
Thanks! Those are great sites, and just what I was looking for, for a more practical perspective. Can anyone join that forum? (i.e. a newbie with no weapon...
Hi! The Ranger forum is open to anyone, pending approval, but I am sure you would have no problem with that, and there is much to learn from the folks there. I...
Hey, I know there's been a lot of talk latley about cloaks but I have a problem that hasn't been brought up. I've got an elf costume that I've been working on...
HI Abigail, I just tried out the Fellowship cloak pattern from alleycat scratch website, on my long cloak I was already working on. Cutting a round hole at...
The problem with cloaks and quivers/packs is that the movies use magic to make things work. Yes, it's danged bunchy to have straps going over your shoulders...
I did exactly that (following PrimmyB's example for Sam's backpack) for the Ren Faire a couple of years back, with two small slits in my cloak for my backpack...
I noticed the down side to cutting the hole for the neck and moving the cape out of the way: you can't close it for warmth when you want to! Kind of defeats...
The first thing you have to do with this gown is relax. . . it's really not as complicated as it looks. In fact, it's the most simple thing in the world. All...
The only time I need a cloak is when I need the warmth, so having it close in the front was essential. I used the basic from ACS, cutting a full circle in...
Oh, I wish you lived near me so I could see what you are doing with the cloak! I am going to try and see if I can do something with the 2 inches angle so that...
I'm basically relying on my shoulder darts to cause the cape to hang correctly. Most capes rely on their front closure to keep the cape centered on the body,...
... yep, that's true. BTW, sorry for the delay: I've been at CostumeCon all weekend. We had a great LotR couple in the masquerade: steampunk Legolas & Eowyn!...
Judy, Please tell me you have pictures of this! We are planning to do at least one Steampunk costume for Dcon. These outfits sound fabulous. Rebecca Neume ...
... It's quite pathetic: I actually took no pics at all, all weekend! didn't even have time for meals or to get many bottles of water. BUT, other people did...
Since I was in the SF/F masq I did not photos, but I can tell you it was fantastic, the whole entry. The Eowyn and Legolas were perfect. maethoriel (a very...
Okay, I'd already replied to this, but something happened and it didn't post so here I go again.. *hopes it works* Thank you so much for the brilliant reply!...
"For the Elves, Dickson went for sheer elegance, mossy greens, tree-bark browns, autumn scarlets, an androgynous quality and a touch of antiquity. "They invoke...
Can't help you with the bleaching and sandpaper ideas (afraid to try that myself), but I've always had good results with just washing the heck out of it in hot...
I have sandpapered fabric before - not a silk brocade by any means, just cotton drill and denim - and it makes a LOT of mess! Kicks up into your eyes too, so...
Given you can get the nail buffers that give a sheen to your nails, the theory should at least be able to be applied to other materials! It won't work the...
Hi I use wet sandpaper(used for working with metals) in very fine grit(the stuff I use for making silver jewellery). The cloth is dampened and draped over my...
... These are not my pics, but you can see the Steampunk Eowyn at <http://www.flickr.com/photos/patterns-from-the-past/3511342067/> (I see there are also some...
