Wizard Robes Final

  By Brianalana December 30, 2015 March 8, 2016 Build Report

You’ve seen the belt, the mantle, and the over robes. Now it’s time for the final piece to my masterwork. It took me a long time to settle on a design for the base robe that all the others would be worn over. I wanted it to Continue reading →

Hooded Mantle fit for a wizard

  By Brianalana November 4, 2015 October 5, 2015 Build Report

I’ve mentioned the Wizard robes project in my post about the belt. I wanted to talk about the design of the overall project a little. So this here is the original concept sketch for the full set of wizard robes that I’ve been making over the course of this year. Continue reading →

What’s in the box?

  By Brianalana July 17, 2015 July 17, 2015 Build Report

A couple of projects that I put some time to recently are what I call box modifications. I took a standard store bought box and modified it to suit specific needs. Mostly I didn’t do any cosmetic changes to the outside. I’ve only done two so far but I really[…] Continue Reading

Nine Panel Skirt

  By Brianalana May 30, 2015 June 7, 2015 Build Report

So a project fell into my lap the other day, that I was able to expand into a few things that make me really happy. First it started with the fact that a character needed a simple, but opulent wedding outfit. The requirements were white and gold and lace, in[…] Continue Reading

Aged Leather Knee Brace

  By Brianalana May 12, 2015 June 7, 2015 Build Report

My best friend wanted to play a character with a bad knee, in a medieval fantasy setting. For the most part he has healthy knees, and really just needed something to visually demonstrate to others the weakness, and maybe gently remind himself to incorporate it into his physical acting. He tried[…] Continue Reading

Wizard’s Belt

  By Brianalana April 10, 2015 September 24, 2015 Build Report

My current big project is a full set of ornate wizards robes for a good friend of mine. A key part of jumping the robes up a notch in the scales of grandiosity is sash or belt with dangly stuff! So while I have to wait to start on the[…] Continue Reading

Dream Magic Charm

  By Brianalana March 2, 2015 June 17, 2015 Build Report

So, I really don’t want to call this a dream catcher, since I haven’t done nearly enough of the research to do justice to the traditions behind dream catchers. This is not a dream catcher, it is a Prop, for a game. This game has dream magic, and one of[…] Continue Reading

Utility Quiver Tooling

  By Brianalana February 23, 2015 June 17, 2015 Build Report

I said that I’d make another post where I talked more about the tooling I did on the Utility Quiver: Why I picked the symbols that I did, that sort of thing. The first thing to know is that this isn’t just a generic example of what I can do.[…] Continue Reading

Utility Quiver

  By Brianalana February 11, 2015 June 17, 2015 Build Report

So over the holidays I set out on a pretty big endeavor. I had two problems to solve. First I needed a compact way to transport all of the gear for a particular character’s costume. Second, I needed a way to carry contact-sport arrows that was convenient and prevented them[…] Continue Reading
