The Cloak
I have been agonising this last week about cutting into my fake fur and so I have been procrastinating and making excuses for not having just cut into it already.... But I have my pattern pieces for the pelt and hood already cut out so it's time to start...
I'm really apprehensive because I don't want to screw iy up and waste my fabric as it was so hard for mom and I to find to start with.
The Mask and Ears
So I followed the instructions of mixing, flour de-lumping and cooking but my glue still didn't look quite right so I Googled this fine art and was reassured...

The Earrings
I haven't done anything on these yet as I haven't yet made my mask.
The Makeup
This is my make up test number 1. The first picture is with the face paint crayons.
These actually felt really great on my skin and felt almost like drawing on your skin with eye liner or lipstick...
Picture number 2 is with the jar of face paint and the face paint brushes.
Either way I'm realising not only am I sucky at free hand makeup and symmetrical free hand make up but also lining up where on the face it's supposed to be.
The Fang Necklace
The 5 oddly shaped sausages at the top left of the picture on the baking paper are my, as naturally as I could, formed fangs for the necklace. Now to just impatiently wait for them to dry while I start writing my blog entry and start making my mask and ears.
I'm still waiting on my arrow to arrive off the medieval shop on eBay... I bought it on the March 4th and they say the post time is about 7 days so it should in fact be arriving in the the post today or tomorrow!!!! :) I'm so excited to see it and start working on making the arrowhead into my crystal dagger pendant!
Which reminds me that I still need to make or buy some red cord....
The Apron Top
My op shop top from the back... (Before)

The Top and skirt combo
I'm quite happy with my op shop skirt so I will definitely be wearing it as part of the costume... Just trying to decide whether to wear one of my black spaghetti strap singlets or a black tank top....
Underneath I'm thinking either my sports bra (providing it doesn't stick out through the sides of my costume) or a racer back sports bra are going to be the most comfortable bras for this and yet still give me enough support... Anyone know of cos-play specific bras?? :)
The Boots
I'm also really happy with my op shopped uggs... They are so warm and cosy and the colours aren't too far off... I do need to create a wrap for them to go around the ankle and then I'll wrap and tie twine over the top as there is decorative lace up parts at the back of the ankle that are very commercial and so very not San...
The Dagger
This is my start on the dagger... I am using air drying clay for this one and just underneath you can see the dagger hilt (the sausage) and the rough diamond is the cross piece on the hilt. I thought that clay and roughly shaped pieces would fit the cos-play a little better than perfect formed and smooth because of the fact that San was raised by Moro and the other wolves.
Because it is made of air drying clay though I am worried about it falling apart as I don't have any wire in it so I will be making a dagger from cardboard and paper mache as well. You know... Just in case...
Haven't started on these yet...
