Are the skulls awkward to move around with? It might distract you from the onslaught of zombies coming.

so i had some left over belt material from my harness so just messing around i made this.

its just a length of my favorite belt material and a buckle cut to the size of a bracelet.

nothing too fancy but it fits my big old wrists like a glove. but the part that sets it apart is the metal plate i attached to.

its cut sheet aluminum glued in place and inscribed with one of my favorite psalms. 59 verse 2.

"Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.
    Save me from bloodthirsty men. "

i actually wanted it to be 59:10

"My God will go before me with his loving kindness.
    God will let me look at my enemies in triumph. "

but their just wasn't room for the extra digit. of course i did all the engraving myself. so what do you guys think?

This bracelet is a great idea. If it was wider you could use it as protection from a zombie bit as well as a fashion statement. ♥

so with only about a week left till the con i finally got around to making my desert robe. went down to the local craft store and picked out two pieces of off white fabric. a cotton linen blend for the under tunic and a  cotton canvas for the shoulder cloak. and after a few hours of cutting and sewing i got it to this point. 

both pieces have been cut and shaped to length and design. i just have to attach the under tunic to the top cloak at the collar. weather and add detail pieces and I'm done. oh and make a hood. luckily i got enough left over material for that. i should after all this fucking fabric cost me 50 bucks.

and here's the robe with the two layers sewn together and the outer cloak cut and shaped. i still have more work to do. weathering a little more tailoring. buckles and such adornments. and of course the hood but its getting there.

it's not an exact replica but i modeled it after this picture and i think its pretty close to the source art.

so what do you guys think, does it look good?
