| I was franticly looking through wigs online, when I saw a wig and shouted "OMG TARAN" So I asked the opinion of Zoe and Holly, who agreed it was a quite good find. I will be ordering it tomorrow, and hope that it is as good as it looks. *fingers crossed* it will need some styleing but not much. So, that meant I need to cosplay him. *hopfully* - for once, the wig was the first and easiest thing to find. Going to ask my friend to help me make his sword. *hint hint* Olly. Oh and I want to play fight with a pig!!! I will be making the cauldron updated June 2011 - YES!! I have myself an Eilonwy and maybe a Gurgi for some photoshootage, and maybe an Expo? Not sure, not set in stone.

Another year later... (Posted 4th April 2013) and I REALLY want to start over....... I just don't know what to do....... Deffinatly wearing him to Expo in October for a group of Disney Heroes. YAY Making a Hen WEn plushie - life size. with help from a lady on UK cosplay FB group :D because that's how they roll. I have to be honest I have seen people cospaly Taran with similar colours to the 'newest' dvd art and also more like the movie stills....... I want to be more like the stills I think. I originally wanted to use Jersey for the tunic but couldn't find any a colour I liked. Maybe I will try again??? I still need boots - I think I'm just going to make them instead. |

boots? (Posted 23rd April 2012) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140639101087?var=440031850772&ssPageName=STRK:... to dark i think...? |
|
I think I might... (Posted 20th February 2012) start over! Except the wig.. For one, I did the side slit in the wrong side. I hate the colour (want to be screen accurate) and well, I just generally hate the way I sewed it all... I might feel different if I wore it for a while but.. I dunno it just doesn't seem right..... Hope ever, I found out my fake Apple.. That's cool right. lol Oh and also a while ago I went through the film looking overly careful and I believe Taran actually had a belt? not just some cord/leather tide around? WHY DISNEY WHY YOU SOOOO CONFUSING ALL THE TIME - to the point were even the arists can't remember what was right. |
 |
Just add boots. (Posted 2nd August 2011) Today I sewed a lot of the tunic, changed the front slightly and added the strip. I took in the leggings so they are tighter and not baggy. I have some dark brown leather, so I cut a strip of that for the 'belt'. I folder the strip and because I couldn't find my glue gun, I stretched the leather, folded and use super glue to stick together. Now, it actually worked, until I tried to tie it. The leather had gone hard and brittle from a reaction with the super glue. Also the glue melted the leather slightly and got very hot... As I tied it, it snapped in two places. So I think I need to try again with glue (or sew it) or buy some. I took some quick photos as I just need boots. The ones I saw on ebay that were perfect- they still only have in black and grey.. I dohave some suede, I might just make them or boot covers... |
 |
Unpicking and stuff.. (Posted 27th July 2011) I cut out a lot of different fabrics last night and got most of them party sewn today. As for Taran, I re did the sleeves on the shirt, and I sewed the tunic... |
 |
Shirt... (Posted 10th July 2011) Sewed the shirt.. You can just about see the sleeves rolled up. |
|
What is it with me and fabrics... (Posted 10th July 2011) I buy fabric I like, then when I start to cut out the fabrics I don't like it for various reasons....... As I said before I couldn't decide which colours to go by, animation or cover/art work. While in the fabric shop a few days ago, there was a colour very similar to the animation, and then a brighter one like the cover. I was being slightly rushed so I only bought the brighter green. I really really wish I'd gone with the other colour. I'm going to go back to the shop and hope it was as good as i'm remembering.. I knew I'd do this though - I should have bought them both!! I drew on the green fabric, but i'm not using it... unless the other fabic isn't what i thought. So I'm making a pattern from what I have drawn. I have cut out the yellow shirt, it's ready to sew, YAYs! At least 1 fabric was right - Boooooooooo at me, am I being toooooo picky? *maybes* |
|
Leggings (Posted 6th July 2011) I am going to use the lighter ones. :) |
 |
and then... (Posted 6th July 2011) I go to fabric shop and a certain supermarket today, where i find a LOT of cosplay bits. YAYs. Got Green and Yellow fabric and Brown leggings. I bought two different shades of brown as I couldn't decide... my webcam didn't pick up colours very well,but which do you think?The lighter ones i think, but they are a bigger size than others and feel rather loose... need to take them in i think. |
|
Nothing... (Posted 5th July 2011) I still can't find a decent coloured leggings! I found some boots on ebay, but not realising they didn't have long left, i forgot until the next day and they were gone.. I'm stuggleing with cosplay supplys at the moment. Will try and get to a different fabric shop tomorrow - they are bound to have .... one fabric i need............ surely?! Pretty please. |
|
Colours... (Posted 21st February 2011) I can never decide on the colours to use. There's one thing I really can't decide on.. Dark Brown or Dark Green leggings? |
 |
Wig Update... (Posted 21st February 2011) I got back from Midlands expo, and found my wig had arrived. YAYs for him getting it sent to my address :D hehe Anyways, I've been messing about with it this morning, I really like it. It's not perfect. It's too big really, and doesn't quite style how I wanted it. I really like the colour, although with flash it looks very shiney and fake... as I paid cheap, I expected it. But no worries. I'm going to mess with it a bit more, but there's some photos to get an idea. |
|
Wig and tights (Posted 16th February 2011) The wig is ordered :D hurry up postman lol - Should be here next week. Looking at tights/leggings online, But I can't decide between a brown and a green. So I'll ponder over it some more. |
