Life of a 23 year old

So instead of going to Cosplay on the Tyne, ran by Sunnycon, I decided to stay in and work on my Aragorn cosplay.

Slightly regretting this as the photos are getting uploaded, getting drunk on a boat, surrounded by fellow geeks,why wasn't I there! :(

O well, at least I got a fair bit of my cosplay done, bag for my belt is done, currently painting the elvish hunting dagger right now, then get to attach it all to my belt.

And! I'm going to be a cosplay judge at Cherricon, woop woop!

Sexy mo'fo

So for Manchester MCM Expo I'm cosplaying this bad boy

Oof! A mate of mine has always wanted to cosplay Gimli, and she managed to persuade a friend to do Legolas. I think I would have preferred to do Boromir, but it felt better to make it the trio.

I had to look for reference pictures everywhere! I managed to find an awesome site Alleycatscratch

Reference picture from a London exhibit.

This is my first attempt at vambraces, other than my attempt at mini bracers for my fem!Thorin

Play around with paint. Not sure how to do this yet!

Found a shirt that worked for Aragorn, so I'm just adding details to it.

And now boot covers! Urgh, this was, again, my first try at something, this was an interesting experience :/

Just adding stitching details here. 

Clearer shot of the boot (and a double decker)

Aragorn face test, wearing Evenstar.

That's it for now!

Sunny weekends..

So it's been another glorious weekend for the North East and I've been a busy bee!

Had lots of deliveries of these these cute supplies

Dinosaur, cupcake, Pacman, deer and many more fabrics for cute bows.

Which you can see below :3

Got my package of cute pastel star beads, they're so cute, and slightly curved.

I made some simple bracelets with these, using some for necklaces too. 

Parents are away for their holiday tomorrow, so my plan is to get a lot of my Aragorn cosplay complete. I hope I can anyway :D
