Rowena's Wardrobe

Here is a better pic of Rowena's Cloak. I made this in mind of the Maid Marian posting. I don't know what kind of fabric it is because my sister got it for me at GoodWill(love her!). I think its meant for upholstery though. Which makes my laugh!
Its half cycle and has a pointed hood(love those!). I got these small, brass clasps from Joann's, I was so happy that I found them. Here is a pic of them(I didn't have one so Thank you Ophe for posting one!)
This one of the dresses(And really the only one where I am not running around in it too). It was from a pattern that I have made many dresses from. This time though was the quickest. It took me about 2 hours in all. I didn't go by the pattern very much, only the main body parts were from the pattern. The sleeves, an neck line were my own idea(and I am very happy with)
Here is a very blurry pic of the back. It was a little to big so I made this belt thingy which I would consider doing again and again(it really makes the gown look finish and historical too)
And one of the 6 cloaks/capes that I have made. This one I made for Bracie.

The Door Within

(Interrupting our Duct tape week, I bring you a post with nothing to do with duct tape)
*****************
I recently finished The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson for the second time.
I first read this when I was 12yo/13yo (can't remember which one), and I was entirely enthralled by it. It was really the first fantasy novel I had ever read.
The telling of the Mortiwraith Falon captivated me. And I fell in love with all the characters.
If you have not read any of Wayne Batson’s books then I implore you to do so now, or in the very near future!
Here is his blog. And here is where you can get his books for a great price on Amazon.

Also, Mr. Batson and Mr. Christopher Hopper recently paired up to write a book together. (I can's wait to read it!!!)

There is also a contest/game going on right now at Batsons blog.
I joined it...will you?

Drawing...

Of a Elf warrior.

(click on it to see better)

His name is Ecthelion Lissësúl (Ee-th-A-lion) (Liss-A-Suul)

He is a story charterer that I made up. He is the expert forger in the traveling party. He hardly ever talks, he believes that silence is golden and that one should be not seen or heard at all times.

His main weapon is the bow, but he carry's a dagger in his belt for emergency's.
I could say a lot more about him but I'm sure that you would be bored out of your skulls.
