Middle Earth Buttons.......

I recently found some “Middle Earth Style” buttons at Joann’s.

They were on sale for 50% off so I got them for about $2.00

the pictures aren’t the best, but the buttons are a very dark brown with a leaf design surrounding the outer edge…would work great for hobbit or elf capes. I added them to my plain brown wool cape to give it an instant update.

If you are interested ....the company name is Creative Buttons by JHB and the style number 1000. I'm sure you could find them at most Joann stores or check out Joann.com.

Prince Caspian Costumes News... here are a few pictures of the costumes from the upcoming movie. I'm really liking Susan's purple dress........ (wish they had more pictures out!)

This is a quote from Isis Mussenden who is the costume designer of Prince Caspian.

I love the girls' Narnia pieces; the first pieces they wear are really quite beautiful. We've built in Susan's daffodil motif that she's always had, right into her dress this time just layered on, and it's based on this beautiful fashion piece that's out of this exhibition in Tokyo. I love combining that whole medieval look with whatever I want. I mean, I have the best job in the world, I just get to make it up. Nobody can say 'oh that's not the right period.' It's Narnia, it doesn't matter."

 Costume News: Elf ears.....

While I was helping with a Narnia play the wood fairies and dryads wore little pointed ears. They looked so cute...in fact I found a company that sells elf ears that look like Lord of the Rings style ear tips.  So I'm thinking about ording some...not sure yet...they aren't cheap, but look great... click here for elf ears
