Let the cosplay costuming commence!

Well, it’s that time of year.  That time, when I pull my hair out and try to figure out how the heck I am going to finish these costumes in time!

The kids are going to be Geralt and Ciri from The Witcher 3.

So, to start I am going to detail what I have to make for each character.

Let’s begin, shall we?

Ciri:

• Leather corset
• Leather pants with studs
• Cream top with a satin ribbon
• Leather arm cuffs
• Leather gloves
• Belt made out of clay and glass
• Leather belt
• 2 Leather pouches on the belt
• Leather strap for her sword
• Sword and scabbard
• Cat medallion
• Boots (She has a pair that she can use that are good enough)

Geralt:

• Chainmail and leather corset
• Leather chestplate
• Quilted shirt
• Quilted Leather pants
• Gauntlets
• Chainmail and leather pauldrons
• Leather belt with trophy hook
• 2!! Swords with leather sheaths
• Cross bow?  Might be passing on this.
• Leather boot coverings (he has some boots I can use to cover)
• Wolf medallion

I have less than two months to get them done.  No big deal, right??

I have a lot of the fabrics and most of the leather/faux leather I need.  I will make the swords out of wood and paint them to look sword-like (in theory).

Her “metal” belt is going to be a huge pain.  I am thinking of making it in clay, but I want to make a mold for the pattern.  I need to go get something to carve for that.  I have the clay and the glass centers, so I am partway there.

For the chainmail, at first I was going to attempt to make it, but in the end I decided to purchase this from a seller on Etsy.  It will work good enough.

I know I still need to get up the details on my wardrobe capsule, and I will.  I also have a few other things to post.

It will give me a break from this insanity.
