She still needs a hat and boots...but the rest is wonderful! It's about $50 in fabric for what could easily sell for $250... she did great!

My partner and I found boots that are very ren looking at Marshalls. Faux suade and ran about $30 or less. It's worth looking for.

And I found this hat on the web. It looks like a good fit for her coat.

Luckily... I was able to find a yard ornament that had a hole in it.... cutting holes in glass orbs can be difficult.
So I just carved the end of the staff to snugly fit the diameter of the hole.... and then I used 1 minuted epoxy to make sure it stays. I then used the straps of leather and twine to hide the epoxy.


I love that hat.... do you have a link to the boots at Marshalls?

Sorry Merlin, I don't have a link for boots at Marshalls.
