This is me being the 27-year-old that 17-year-old me dreamed of.
January feels like 5 years ago
Here is a little project I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: a small, painted belt shield (from Mytholon). I wanted to do this as a test to see how I would go painting on steel, and to add an accessory to my kit with IC symbolism.
I tried to take a picture at pretty much every stage. First I made sure the steel was clean of any dirt or oil, then I primed it using a matte grey etch primer. I drew the design on using grey lead pencil and painted it using regular acrylic paint. To finish it off I spray coated it a few times with a clear, satin sealer (I might spray it a few more times to be safe), and this is how it turned out!
I have to say, I even surprised myself a little bit with how well the hand turned out, and I’m really happy with it!
Okay but hear me out…

I’ve been away at Swordcraft: Blood and Gold spring Quest: The Swarm of Sudenburg and now I’m home and straight back into reality. Swordcraft is Australia’s largest LARP event and battle game with upwards of 500 people in attendance and I’m proud to be one of its executive.
Quest was a fantastic week filled with fort and field battles, political alliances, underground shenanigans, tournaments, TrollBall and heaps more, all while looking and feeling like a total bad ass.
I love getting to camp with all my friends for a week and I already have BIG plans for Quest next year.
I have a heap more picture on my Instagram @larplyyyyyyf if you want to check them out. Or follow @Swordcraft_LARP to find out more!

A few weeks ago at Swordcraft I ran with The Blades of the North, a Norse inspired warband. I finally got a good chance to pick up my bow and arrows again as well as play around with a Calimacil Dane Axe. Needless to say, it was a LOT of fun.
I made the blue dress and dark blue hood in a bit of a rush, but the rest of the outfit is made up of some awesome stuff from Mytholon:
Underdress: Alina Undergarment in Cream
Brown dress:Leandra dress
Leather Bodice: Isolde bodice floral

Ringmesh Tunic

Took a break from moping to depict Tegwared’s armour of feathers, which was damaged as they vanquished the greatest wyrm in the land, and then eaten from the inside out by sorcery.

“Battle of Unnumbered Tears”

“ In J. R. R. Tolkien’slegendariumofMiddle-earth, the (Dagor) Nírnaeth Arnoediad(IPA:[ˈdɑɡɒr ˈniːrnɑɛ̯θ ɑrˈnœdiɑd]; in later SindarinratherIPA:[ɑrˈnɛdiɑd]) or (Battle of) Unnumbered Tears was the climactic Fifth Battle in the Wars of Beleriand.
In the almost two decades since their defeat in the Dagor Bragollach, the Noldor had lost control over the entire north of Beleriand, and were for the most part reduced to holding on defensively in Hithlum,HimringandNargothrond.Gondolin was shut and unknown. The great deeds of Beren and Lúthien in defeating Sauron, overthrowing his fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth and wresting a SilmarilfromMorgoth’s Crown, as well as the military victories of Thingol on all the borders of his realm of Doriath, gave hope to the Noldor that Morgoth could still be defeated. In the year 468 of the Years of the Sun in the First Age,Maedhros began building an alliance capable of taking the war to Angband and regaining the lands of the Noldor. […]”
