Merida Cosplay

My daughter is a big Brave fan, so the hubby and I decided to make her dream come true to a degree.
I created her dress and Under shirt, Hubby made her hip quiver and belt. I painted the designs on the belt and quiver. The bow and arrows we purchased at our local ren fair back in October of 2012.

Here are the pieces of her outfit, we hope to get action shots soon.

Link Crossbow WIP

Last October at our RenFair there was a vender who were selling simple crossbows. So we bought one for our son. Before anyone says anything about giving an autistic child a crossbow, he dosnt have any real intreast in it. What I am doing is painting it and once finished it will be a wall display pice for when he does want to learn to use it.

So here are the beginnings:

Next phase is to spray paint it white, then add the colors. Took 3 days for the white layer to not be tacky to the touch.

The potted plant is what I got for Mothers day, A total shade/house plant. I didnt know at the time set it outside it nearly died. Therfe was no tags on it but within 24 hours it perked back up.  Back to the crossbow, I started the paint job maybe by next week it will be finished.

May 15, 2013: Okay I finished earlier then expected all it now needs is clear coat spray, but its raining right now.
