I'm all excited about Lawrence's costume and have been making good progress on it.
I finished his surcoat yesterday, and sewed on the black chainmail.
After making the sleeves, I had enough left over to make some hang out from under his surcoat. At first it was just a flat strip, but it seemed a touch too long, so I removed parts of it and turned it into a pointed edge.....
I wanted to see him with a sword, so borrowed one from Macbeth, in the display case. I figure he won't mind, as long as I give it back....

I was working on his wrist guards yesterday, but changed my mind twice. The ones Kyle has have black edges on a medium brown background, and it didn't look good to have the black edging against the black chainmail. So I switched the colours. I even made a lighter brown belt to match. But they just looked too 'orange', and very much the colour of his hair (my camera blows out anything orange). so today I started over again with a darker brown edging, and the original belt...
I just wish the metal filagree pieces I'm using were brass instead of copper, since my camera makes them look rather 'orange', but it's all I had, and I can't get the other anymore.
So they will just have to do. I may consider toning them down by 'antiquing' them with some paint. I'll decide later.
