Aldhelm's Brooch

Handmade by me, from Super Sculpey polymer clay, and painted with acrylic paints to resemble antique bronze. It measures 3 inches (10cm) in diameter. I sculpted onto a watchglass so I could get a curvature. The watchglass was removed after baking. It took me approximately 25 hours from start to finish.

A lot of fans talk about wanting a replica of Uhtred's sword. However, I wanted something more personal and meaningful to me. I had been planning to make this brooch for over a year now, and finally had the time and motivation to do so.

Progress photos and reference screenshots below the Keep Reading.

Progress photos. I rolled out the clay and molded it onto a watchglass. Then I printed out my sketch and used a pin to pinpoint the locations of the main features (the little spheres). Afterwards, it was just a lot of fiddly sculpting work to create the details. This was 100% done by hand; I did not use any molds or pre-created forms for this.

Painted version in indoor lighting.

Screencaps of the brooch. And you can see what I had to work with here, lol. Weird fact: his brooch changed color over the seasons! It was shiny gold colored in season 3, silver in season 4, and antique bronze in season 5. Don't know why it changed so much. Aldhelm's brooch is very unique and particular to him. He had a standard large bronze Mercian boar brooch in season 2, just like Aethelred, but for some reason that was changed to this one in season 3. It seemed to coincide with the change in his apparent personality, so I wonder if it was intentional or not?

Nobody:

Me: ...

Me: I need to make a half-arsed replica of Aziraphale's pinky ring using crap I have lying around + spray paint

(Nvm just spent 1h painting tiny feathers using like a single hair brush, this is barely half-arsed anymore why am I like this)

Top left is original; image courtesy of Danegeld Historic Jewellery. Bottom right is pre-tiny-brush (it was definitely a Horse Drawing Meme situation, especially up close like this, only thAT WAS THE LITERAL INITIAL IDEA ASDfghjk)

The materials are

A tiny bit of braided lace I found

Some picture wire

Two flourishy border bits cut from a cheap-and-cheerful plastic prism thingy, probably scrapbooking supplies, no idea why I had it

A shield/triangle cut from an expired passport

SO much super glue, spray paint, random black paint I had

Hi!!!

My name is Tigrensis and I'm a UK based costume maker specialising in LARP and fantasy costume.

Here's some of my past work!

I really like mushrooms and lichens and recently I've been looking at incorporating them into my work, in fact I'm working on a costume entirely themed around decay and fungus. You can see some pictures from this above.

I also love costume breakdown, I'm looking to experiment in the future in using plants as a method of breakdown. Will it work? Who knows.

This blog is where I am going to post more long form writing that wouldn't fit on my other social media (check out my carrd for links)! I love to talk about costume and sewing so don't be shy if you want to send an ask.

The things I'll be talking about will range from the practical e.g. the horrors of trying to find mint fabric to the more theoretical stuff like the significance of mannequin choice in displaying museum costume.

Last but not least, I am available for commission!!! If you have an idea you want turning into reality then feel free to shoot me a quick message. I also have made to order and unique costume items available on my Etsy including tunics, robes and hats!!!

I hope you enjoy your time on my blog!!!

Hey there Locked-Tomb-Fandom, what little detail do you imagine on your personal headcanon-Gideon (GtN)?

Steelcap-shoes? Embroidered robe? Skeleton rapier? Giant Metal Key? Kevlar-Bracers? Bone Prayer-Beats? Black Nail Polish? Piercings?

Reblog or reply with your personal Gideon-Detail(s) please!

I am looking for some inspiration for my cosplay. I'm done with the basics, and wanna ad some flimsy.

So with as busy as I've been finishing school and getting my business up and running I haven't had a lot of time to work on the fabrial. I finished making the hands, though I had to modify them from the drawing slightly. The dial is partially made, though I need to practice my hand engraving before I can finish it. The last change is that the brass surround for the movements had to be remade and is taking a while because it needs a lot of hand filing to shape it.

Time to get creative again! This time it's for my college courses, and I'm taking you all with me on the creative and problem solving journey!

Also, did you know hat making, and hat block making is on the endangered crafts list?

Just found some old pictures of the wands my mum and I made for a Fantastic Beasts event at the college LRC (library) where I used to work.

We made them out of newspaper, toilet roll, PVA glue, acrylic paint, beads and plastic gems, and a glue gun.

These were hidden around the LRC and students would hunt for them every day for about two weeks until they found them all. Those that found them got to take them home and we also had some other activities to promote some of our Harry Potter audiobooks, ebooks and physical books and movies.

Bonus points to whoever spots the atrocious spelling mistake I made on the promotional material. Had to remember where we hid them all so I could break out the tipex

Edit: I Would like to mention as an afterthought, I am in no way in support of She Who Must Not Be Named (aka JK Rowling's) personal opinions regarding trans people. In my opinion she has turned into a vial and loathsome individual who has thoroughly tarnished my love of the fictional world she created. Her actions are pointlessly decisive, and harmful to cis and trans women alike.

Though the fanfic + fanart and the diverse community which created it and enriched that world is still incredibly dear to me. Even though I was never an active member (beyond, reading, giving kudos where it was due and occasionally commenting) I still felt like I was part of a friendly welcoming community full of talented (& not so talented), inspiring individuals.

If you are trans then please know that I support you. What is going down at the moment is utter bull. It might not feel like it sometimes, but people are on your side.
