Many thanks to you all for following and reblogging and a special thanks to all the amazing cosplayers that have submitted their photos or given permission for them to be shared!
Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.” And they’ll say, “Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, Dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.”
Frodo: You’ve left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun; I was being serious.
Finally got around to having a photoshoot of my Frodo Baggins cosplay! I’m very excited to be releasing these to the public, so I hope you all enjoy them! (:

Four days of super intense work, 40 pattern pieces x 3, 25 yards of piping, 30 meters of fabric and Thranduil is DONE. Hook and eye closures currently going in and she is good to wear for @c4_winnipegtomorrow!
If you see me please feel free to say hi and chat! I’ve been told often by people that they find me scary and are afraid to talk to me ;-; I’m just quiet and have a really bad RBF, I’m not scary I promise!
I wasn’t going to get Thranduil done for comic con because my cording to do all the piping hadn’t arrived…then it showed up Friday and I made the insane choice to make Thranduils cost in like four days…so far so good! Should be done tonight!
Love the coat fabric *__* it’s a pain to work with but has a metallic gold/black/silver shimmer that gives lovely movement to it when I walk
Started work on Thranduil yesterday, made his over robe/bougie elf blanket. This abstract brocade is so beautiful, I’m obsessed, totally worth the price for it I’m so please with how it looks :3
Waiting on my bulk order of cording so I can start the piping and get the main coat sewn
And here it is…the full, finished piece. My pièce de résistance.
What I started at the beginning of February has finally come to a close. Definitely the longest I’ve spent on any costume. Every bead hand sewn. Every piece of gold bullion hand cut and sewn. Everything patterned by me. It might not be perfect in a couple small spots, but I am so in love with it. I can’t wait to get my wig and makeup on.
So few people cosplay Faramir, and even fewer do the coronation look. Most just sew on a pre-made trim, and for damn good reason!! I say “most” like I’ve seen more than like two cosplayers with this costume, but I’m so happy to be a part of that small group and to portray Faramir and to try to do this costume justice. He deserves so much more love!
based on Unfinished tales, story of Galadriel and Celeborn
“So it came to pass that when the light of Valinor failed, for ever as the Noldor thought, she joined the rebellion against the Valar who commanded them to stay; and once she had set foot upon that road of exile she would not relent, but rejected the last message of the Valar, and came under the Doom of Mandos. Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she fought fiercely against Fëanor in defence of her mother’s kin, she did not turn back. Her pride was unwilling to return, a defeated suppliant for pardon; but now she burned with desire to follow Fëanor with her anger to whatever lands he might come, and to thwart him in all ways that she could.”
