Why? Because I can. Take that blonde fairy princesses!
I have a neat batch of turquoise jewelry*, in addition to a star/sun shaped South American-looking amulet and various beads for an Inca headdress (although I will probably wimp out and just do a circlet). I also have a matching turquoise beaded belt.
I have the pattern for the dress. Just have to buy fabric and make** it.
I need to find/make:
- Sandals
- Time to convince my hair to grow down to my butt (not likely, but I can dream!)
- A feather cloak, as all Inca nobles had one or failing that, a Spanish style cloak (also, I like cloaks). I was tempted to make a vicuna cloak until I saw how much it costs.
- Decide on fabric and colors for the dress (besides white linen)
- Decide on accessories (I don't think I can make a Golden Condor by August)
*Of course it's fake! It's for a costume!
** Read as: "Make a half-assed effort and then have Mom fix it and yell at me for not paying attention to details." Actually my current plan is a whole-assed effort, but we'll see.
