8th February 2014: Bow progress and Tutorial. I quickly put together a new prop bow to replace my old one as I can no longer use it for conventions. I put it together using a pvc pipe.
The details on how I made the bow can be found in the journal of this costume (I'll be using the same one for both costumes)

I have set up a tutorial for anyone who would like to make a prop bow themselves. You can check it out on my deviantart here
