Two projects today - Painting the Cluricaun target and preparing the Light Fighting Swords (These are a bit of a secret so you will have to wait until next month for information on them) Still have a ways to go. Haven't decided whether to have trim on the edges of the tunic or not. There is very little reference material on the subject. Most of what I found was notes that they wore purple clothing, red hats and stood about three feet tall. The target is the proper height. ^_^
Yes, another project. This has to be done, too. I was wanting to make a double-headed eagle held together by pegs. Archers could knock off the heads, wings, feet, etc. individually. I found mention of such a thing once.... but have not since. This would pretty much NEED to be made out of wood and we haven't the money or time. (It remains a project to do in the future, though) Instead, I am making a simple target. For now, I'm going to construct the base. I have a few pieces of both thick and thin corrugated cardboard. I will use three heavy and two thin. They will all be cut to the same size though the thick middle one will have a hole cut in to the middle. This middle will be stuffed with plastic wrap (beer delivery companies wrap carts in wads of the stuff - it can be gotten from them for free! YAY!) then they will be glued together, I will probably use strips of posterboard to make an edge to hide the ugly sides, then they will be painted white. There will be a small black circle in the center and a smaller white circle in that.
I will most likely just get some spray paint for the white - I don't feel like going over that big ol' thing with a paintbrush. Well, off to cut the circles out while I watch a ghost movie! YAY! |
