Charles Bazaar Giveaway Part 2!

So we've shown what prints there will be for the giveaway, now Charles Bazaar jewellery :D

I found this really hard to decide, as I love all my jewellery, and I know a lot of people have certain favourites, so I tried to include a  lot of them.

I choose to have items of jewellery from my fandom series, We have Doctor Who, Sherlock, Lord of the Rings, Pokemon and a few extra's :)

Doctor Who Earrings (Fez and bow-tie)

Mew Necklace (Made from Hama beads)

BBC Sherlock charm bracelet

Lord of the Rings Lembas Bread necklace

A wee Sailor Moon Magnet (Transformation brooch)

Brave Heart Lion Cameo Necklace (Carebears)

So I think I have a nice selection of goodies up for grabs, though looking at it now, it kinda looks feminine :( I have to stop that for the future!

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!

Lord of the Rings

So a while ago I made a quick video showing the LOTR jewellery I had made. This is a little shitty video, and my jewellery is much better now, but I had a lot of fun doing it :D

EDIT. Just remembered that I made this for a LOTR event that was shit, but I got my money back for it. Seriously though, there was 3 people who came, and it was in a casino. WTF. And now the company who arranged it has broken up :/ It had potential to be amazing. Imagine if it was hosted in a big, huge medieval hall, with an outdoor area that had old fashioned tents sent up. 

It kinda reminds me of a outdoor festival that used to be near where I lived - Chopwell Woods. It was great, there was LARPing, back when I didn't know what LARP was, lots of food, how to make things with nature, some animals. It was just a great day out for the family.

Here's just a few of the LOTR jewellery 

Lego LOTR

Bought this game when I was in Dundee as it's something that I've wanted since it came out (if you couldn't tell I'm a proper LOTR geek)

As I find with every Lego game, the controls are awkward, I know that it's my fault though, I'm just terribad with them.

The problem I find with this game, is when you play co-op and if you both switch characters at the same moment, you also switch screens.... I don't understand why! And imagine if it happens during a hard part :( Much panicking ensued. But Lego makes up for it with much humour and damn adorableness. We see a lot of the comic relief that Gimli brings in the films, and this is fine! It is used in a way that makes it nice for kids and adults, especially when Gimli grabs Legolas' arm in Paths of the Dead.

Don't get me started on dwarf tossing.

Or Gimli riding Shadowfax.

Seriously though, if you are a fan of the books and films, get this game, it's so good <3

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
