#elvenpath

The last gleam of fading summer. I made the chiton dress from the leftovers of another project. Who remembers the blue fabric I tried to bleach this summer? Well, this is the result and I love the new colour so much! Due to me using different brands of bleach it did not came out even, resulting in a subtle but lovely gradient. while usually all my jewelry ist silver, I found the gold stampings to be a lovely accent on the soft rose colour. I am still doing the hems, which takes time because being me I do them by hand, but I took the opportunity to take some pictures with the belt (that will soon go to the etsy shop) while it still has warmer days. This photo has two pieces that I inherited from familiy members: my Grandmother's Amber necklace that I wear in my hair and the gothic harp from my great aunt and harp teacher. I miss both these grand old ladies a lot, and I am glad to have these little mememtos in my life.

Music way back from 1997, when Nightwish was just a tiny Finnish band, with small following. ”Elvenpath” Very much Tolkien inspired.

Come walk with me

The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It’s the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath

“Elvenpath” de Nightwish, del disco “Angels Fall First” (Metal Sinfónico, Finlandia, 1997).

The cursed face. Thanoreth's helmet-like mask is made from Thibra, aluminium foil and scraps of Worbla. The teeth are long mother-of-pearl beads that I thrifted years ago. I made the costume when I had to commute to work by train for two hours daily. All the beads and silk cords were hand-sewn to the costume during those train rides. For this shoot, I did a little VFX Makeup experiment, which you barely see beneath the mask, but it makes the bits of the face that stick out less human. Still, I will probably leave the Silikone next time and stick to face paint only, since the Silicone was a pain to get off again. photo by @mornienna costume made by me with scales from @theringlord necklace by @ithuriell.crafts #costumestore#fantasyaccessoires#elvenclothing#elvenpath#fairyqueen#photosofyourfantasy#elvenclothing#tolkiencosplay#elfcosplay#elvenvibes#fantasystyle#elvenarmor#scalemaille#darklake#lakemonster#darkphotography#fantasymodel#fantasyphotography#cursedcreature#larpgear#monsterdesign#womaninarmor#moodyvisions#darkfairytale#darkart#darkcottagecore#darkphotography#ethereal_dark#seamonster#cursedcreatures (at Middle Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTE9KbNYsN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

II -  “As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world’s an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world’s an elvish sight.” - The Elvenpath - Nightwish
