Project Update - Erianne Fox

Surprisingly, I actually got a lot of work done this week. I got all the supplies I need to make the sword and shield and most of the supplies I need to make the costume. I cut out the main shield pieces, painted them and glued them together. Now all I have to do is cut out the symbols that go on the shield, paint those symbols, and glue them on. Yay..... I am making the sword and shield out of foam board and the foam gets everywhere when I'm cutting it. (Well, I am cutting it with a pocket knife, so that might be the problem.) This week I am planning to finish the shield and at least cut out the sword pieces. By the way, I  am making the master sword and the hylian shield and I am making a blue Link costume. It's going to be blue because I have a lot of blue fabric and not green fabric. I might as well stick to what I have already, that way this cosplay doesn't cost nearly as much as the huge cosplays. (The ones that are made for photo shoots or cosplay projects. Those usually cost  somewhere between $100 and $300, or maybe even more)  The costume will most likely not make much sense, (mixing old and new games) but I chose these because I feel like these are iconic Legend of Zelda items and I do actually want to incorporate and combine old and new games.
