Trapunto test for Vax! I’m taking everything I learned on Galadriel and applying that knowledge to my Vax gambeson, which will be possibly More Insane haha

Oops, hyperfocused for a few hours and emerged with a Galadriel quiver strap!

Stencil test went amazingly well! I’m using the cricut stencil film and it’s a multi-step process but I can’t argue with the results! This method makes some extremely crispy paint details, just using regular fabric paint here!

I just barely made it with my fabric for Galadriel’s cape! All cut out and stay-stitched; next will be thread marking all the seamlines and then using my scraps to test stencilling and embroidery!

This reminder brought to you by me having to resew all the hooks on a theatre bodice that someone else did very incorrectly 😤😝

Made good progress on Vax patterning today!

Grey always read so differently depending on lighting but I’m very pleased with how close my Galadriel cape wool is to the og! The dye came out beautifully and the weave reads quite similar!

This doesn’t look like much but it is me finally figuring out how the drape and grainlines of this cape work, me terrified that I don’t have enough of my (custom dyed) fabric, and me discovering that I will just barely be able to squeak this cape out of my four yards of wool. Phew!

Talk about one of my favourite cosplay builds ever! Making this costume has given me such an appreciation for the Rings of Power costume team; it combines dyeing, trapunto quilting, embroidery, chainmail, beading, leatherwork…! #tolkien #ringsofpower #trop #galadriel #cosplay

I finally had the stamina to tackle draping this cape pattern again, which is VERY fiddly and depends very much on where the grain of the fabric lands. Still gotta do the back pieces but at least the pleating is finally where it needs to be!

I dyed my wool for the cape! This is a gorgeous gauze weave wool that I got for a hell of a steal, knowing I could dye it the right grey! Took a lot of tests because grey is SO hard to get right and looks different in every light, but I’m so happy with the end result and how close it looks to the OG

Bracers almost done! I just need to make the connecting panel/closer that goes on the underside of the arm.

Painting all the silver into these etched lines! I’m using a teeeeny tiny mini painting brush and testors enamel silver paint.

Bracer pieces etched for reals! I’m glad I practised because I definitely got my lines smoother this time!

I decided to do a test run to make sure I got my technique down! I ended up doing a graphite rubbing to transfer the design to the suede, then etched with a woodburning pen (stinky!) I did a quick dye pass on the leather, then painted in the silver lines.

After a Galadriel hiatus we are back! Bracers started: I had to trace multiple screenshots and combine them to get my etching pattern, but I think I got pretty close! Printed out and ready to transfer to leather!

Making pants that fit is such a high, I feel unstoppable! Especially with all the fancy piecing I added! #vaxildan #vaxcosplay #cosplay

Galadriel cosplay details!
I am forever in awe of embroiderer Michele Carragher’s work, and to see her pieces in The Rings of Power was a delight! This embroidery is especially delicate, with most beads only 1mm in diameter, and it was definitely a challenge to recreate!

Working on pants for Vax! I got this amazing stretch embossed denim at a local fabric shop (thanks Swanson’s Fabrics!) and took the base pattern off of some stretch pants that I love! And then added all the fancy piecing of course 😜

Happy Halloween from my favourite hobbit!! I’ve always wanted to cosplay Frodo so this year I threw together a look with things from my costume stock at work (and borrowed the ring and brooch and sword)
It’s weird being a hobbit instead of an Elf but lbr, Frodo is the most elvish of the hobbits 😜
