Could it be the end?

With 6 days to go before London MCM Expo I'm finally putting the inishing touchs to props for the Link and Sheik costume parts!

First up is the small key for Twilight Princess Link:

Made with paper mache and wood and paint

Secondly Links boots:

Making the pattern over some cheap shoes

The full pattern

Cut out pieces joined

The full boot loose from the shoe

Measuring out the front pieces

The finished boots! (minus embroidery)

One embroidered boot and one mid embroidery

 

Random Marth gloves for our Marth cosplayer.... (I forgot th photograph the rest as it was a rough rush job) ^^'

Sheik messenger bag!

Harp being paper mached (the shape was made by roughly carved glueing foam pieces to the wooden base)

One half painted! ( I have Ninja(knitting) needles too but I forgot to photograph them XD )

Master sword:

(Mostly made by Link, wood, paper mache and paint)

Hylian sheild:

 Sheik prop progress:

Cutouts.

Paper mached.

Sheik without the harp!

Leg warmers and belts

Well a fair amount of progress has been made on the Link front and Sheik is now almost finished!!!

Firstly heres some shots of the Master Sword in progress (when I last saw it) which is mostly being made by my boyfriend with a small amount of busybodying from me :D

Awesome right!?

A second batch of the leather thong I was using to lace up Sheik finally arrived, enabling me to finish off her legwarmers which i also embroidered using my newly learnt chainstitch (there so comfy!)

This puts Shiek at a wearable stage, with only props, contacts, chainmail and a few tweaks left!

I'm still in two minds about bothering with the chainmail though as theres so much still to do on Link/Zelda.

Progress on the dagger and harp will start this weekend if all goes well!

Also on the Link front all the pieces I needed for the belts arrived and after a quick trip to get Link's measurements the belts were done with one swift blow (though I did add eyelets to the holes for added stability). My favourite parts are the little suns on the front and back of the chest belt. :D

As well as that I have started on the decorative plaited bits of link tunic around the collor and arms, only half of the collor is finished so far, but half the struggle was making the little fabric tubes and turning them inside out (32 in total!)

The first strip

add the second and fold the first over

the finished side!

This was all last weeks progress and hopefully theres lots more the come this weekend too so dont go anywhere ;)
