Temperature Quilt (doesn’t really count because it can’t be finished until 2026)
and probably some other things I’m just forgetting right now…
…which is to say, I don’t need to add another project to this list, but I am creating a Rings of Power Annatar cosplay, and I’m starting this weekend.
Because why wouldn’t I want to dress up as a femme version of this toxic obsessive gaslighter? And honestly I relish the idea of running around at a Con handing out rings to people, especially all of the Galadriels on the floor.
The first thing to take care of is making the crown, which I can do without any of this things I need to order to make the rest of it - wire, paper maché, plaster and paint - all which I have on hand; while I wait for leather and patterns and fabric samples and fabric. How gloss and metallic can I get a finish with no metal involved? I intend to find out.
And maybe inbetween steps while I’m waiting on materials I can finish one or two things off of that list…
