I've been sent so many gorgeous photos of my Tauriel costume recently!! Here's my absolute favourite photo from the weekend!! ❤️ This is where I start to gush. I want to take a moment to acknowledge @evangelinelillyofficial for portraying such an inspirational character. Tauriel is such a fierce and independent woman and is a huge role model to me. Thank you. Also to the whole cast and crew who made the LOTR and The Hobbit series happen (and of course to JRR Tolkien for his beautiful writing! Learning about Middle Earth growing up really changed my life for the better). If it's not already clear, these photos truly mean so much to me. Tauriel was such a wonderful character and I really connected with her and her story. (and yes I sobbed like a baby during BotFA in front of Peter Jackson at the Toronto premiere...). This costume has been a labour of love over the last few years and I've continually changed and updated parts to make them more accurate. I think im almost there. My daggers are the prop replicas from @wetaworkshop and are so stunning! Shoutout to Madhouse Studio FX for my unreal elf ears! I couldn't recommend their ears more! And last but certainly not least, credit to the amazing photographer @amaleighcp and assistant @dreamcherub. Thank you for making these photo dreams a reality ❤️ #thehobbit #taurielcosplay #lotr #yeticon #WetaWorkshop #tauriel #lordoftherings #tolkien #tolkiencosplay #lordoftheringscosplay #madhousestudiofx #mirkwood

For eight years, I always used elf ears made from Latex, some better, some worse, but for this season I got my first pair of silicone ears.

The difference is striking. they look so much better, are comfortable to wear and much more sturdy. The only downside is, I feel they are a tad too long, as I prefer ears with shorter tips. However, this is only MadhouseStudioFX second style of silicone ears, so I will keep an eye out for new releases.
