WARNING!! Picture heavy post coming up!!
Finally finished the 'Aragorn' costume for my son - I was quite pleased with it though personally I wouldn't have chosen these colours for the shirt and cloak but what do I know? I'm sure in the dark at a party it'll look great for the five minutes he keeps it all on. Anyway, so rare I get him to pose for the camera I'm going to be a bore and post lots of piccies.
We haven't got the full effect as he won't have the sword till he gets there (a replica I believe - I hope it's legal to walk about with it), the bow (also coming from a friend) or the Lorien Leaf Brooch which his girlfriend is bringing. He doesis however wearing a replica of the Evenstar. He also made a rather nifty quiver but I forgot to buy the sticks for the arrows (my bad) so there hardly seems any point just carrying that about.
Well the sewing machine is away and won't be out again for a while if I have anything to do with it!! Time for some form of papercraft or inky messing, I have missed my craft room this week, the dining room is not as cosy!!
I received some stash in the post today as I won a £20 voucher from J & C Creations for this entry in their last challenge. Current challenge is Easter ands runs for about 3 weeks from now.
You can never have too many flower or leaf dies can you?
So now I think I deserve some time to play!!

Yes, it is just a sheet but it has been made into a proper cape with hood. |

I don't think Vigo has anything to worry about but I think he's great!! |
