Comic Con is coming up soon, and I've got a new project in the works.

Originally, I was thinking about trying to make a RL set of Bloodfang armor (which, in my opinion, is still the coolest looking rogue set in WoW) but that much leather is out of my price range at the moment. Someday maybe, but not yet

Next idea was a set of plate-armor, but I didn't have time for that much hammer-work, even though sheet metal is significantly cheaper than leather (cool, huh?) maybe next year, if I'm not swamped with costuming stuff.

Finally, I was over at a friend's house, and she gave me a pile of about 3.5 - 4 yards of a really pretty rusty brown velvet that she had NO idea what she could do with - and a piece of brocade I saw at work immediately came to mind.

Yep, new pirate costume coming up soon. Planning on doing the jacket in the brocade, and trimming it with the velvet, then doing the corset in the velvet and trimming it with the brocade.

Definitely excited about it.
