The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors
Totally unrelated to y'all posting about plans from Game of Thrones costumes, I have decided to do one myself.
This all started thanks to a few of my friends/co-workers BEGGING me to watch Game of Thrones so I would stop yelling at them about spoiling things for me. You see, I planned to watch it, but I didn't have HBO. Finally I succumbed to the pressure and started reading it, at about the same time I got HBO. That was about a week and a half ago and I am OBSESSED. I decided I wanted to read it first, so I am simultaneously reading and watching it together! I'm several chapters into book 3 and halfway through season 2 (trying to stay ahead so the show doesn't spoil the book for me!).
Coincidentally, I decided I really wanted to go to Baltimore Comicon with quincy134 in August? September? I don't really remember when it is, but I know I want to go! I had no idea what kind of costume to make and then I fell into this wonderful series and so I decided to do something from GoT. I was playing around with the idea of Catelyn Stark, because I liked her character a lot, but I was nervous about wearing heavy wools and furs in Baltimore at that time of year.
And then I met Melisandre:
She is completely terrifying and creepy and I haven't gotten far enough in the series to know entirely what kind of havoc she wreaks, but OMG I want that outfit!
I've already figured out how to make the signature necklace (cut leather!) and I just happen to have a big ass fake paste ruby (SURPRISE). The dress seems pretty straightforward...ish. The fabric will be tricky (so please keep your eyes open for me). And jennylafleur- let's talk about dyeing my hair red!
