Nickwise Gamgee Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hehehe a CHICKEN!!! Chickens are good! At least, there must be some running round in Rohan....or maybe Gondor....I could go for full out armored Mordor Chicken with sword-slashing action.... *hmmmmmmm* Yay!!!!!! Chickens taste nice - so if I saw you running round in Gondor/Rohan I might have to eat you. Sorry in advance. No offence taken, you can eat me if you really get hungry, but I'm sure with places like Costa Coffee and 'Lets Eat' not to mention Marks and Sparks....couldn't you try and er....leave me as a last resort?

Nickwise Gamgee Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Stitching swede freehand is also tough but leather.....you must be mad The elven dress I have is purple velvet with organza sleeves and the beading took her 9 hours apparently....I don't have the patience so I admire anyone who does have the patience although saying that, I did handsew my entire Frodo costume and three of the other Fellowship cloaks.... My dad is so cheeky...he just suggested I go as Gizmo next time! I am mad, indeed... I have tried suede too and it happens to make these lovely little dents in your thumb...I still refuse to use a thimble.... Beading those dresses....yes, I understand that, I made my mum a replica of the Rose dress on the Titanic where she falls off the back of the boat....the red and black one absolutely covered with beads. It took me from September to get it ready for Christmas! I was making hobbit costumes freehand too, before people started saying.....would you like to borrow my sewing machine? I just can't get on with them...despite owning three now Gizmo would be cool!!! I would love to see a Gizmo trying to get through the crowd!

sarowyn Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 *laughs* Hacking is the best word for making costumes with. "This doesn't fit right....hmmm, hack a bit off!" If you don't hack you sit there for hours shaving little bits off of things *glares at arwen's chase dress evil EVIL elven dress* (nickwise though, she likes a challenge! She knows what I mean...) liremaer! I wanna see pictures of your elrondo armor when you've finished! I love him in his armor Plus, i take my hat off to anyone making armor because it's a pain in the butt. Hmm, speaking of costumes...I should probably get started on some. I've got an anime convention in about 2 months and I need costumes for it! Because getting stuff done for college isn't half as important as looking like Misato....

Nickwise Gamgee Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Sarowyn, I knew you'd sympathise with the hacking! a challenge you say?? Hehehehehe...If anyone should ask for my opinion! (I never did find where those tickets went at work!) I also want to see Liremaer's Elrondo pics!!! Good luck with Anime Con. I warn you though, I may storm it dressed as..... A Mordor chicken!!!
