Construction Notes: As of now I'm using a modified pattern for a greek goddess. The material is a cotton like gauze stuff to give that Greek look to it. The sword and shield are the same ones I used for Cassandra and I modified the shield design to fit Sophitia. The head dress was made of a head band with fake leaves attached and blue glass bead I bought at a craft store. The armor was made using a tutorial from Penwiper, of course with a few modifications to meet my needs. The chest armor is really a bra I bought and then use Dyn-a-flow paint in their metallics to give the metal look. It also made it rather hard too! Shoes were made from a pattern I made and the base of the shoes were an old pair I bought on a trip years ago. In fact I almost threw them away! The belt is made from a pattern I made and I used a brown suede-like material, as my machine can go through leather plus that stuff is super expensive. The upper arm bands and gauntlets were of my own design and made sure to attach the straps with buckles. The gold bands and detail on the bra straps, gauntlets, and shoes were hand painted on with a mixture of two different colors of Dyn-a-flow metallic paint. The gold button like things are large button cover sets that were painted and raised detail was done using hot glue. Of course I used some green/black paint to give it the aged looked. I also used eyelets and shoe leather for all my closures (except the lower parts of my shoes) to give it an added Grecian touch... even if I did have to put in over 50 eyelets! I used a Alicia XXL from Cosworx, all that was done was braiding it in a loose braid and a ribbon added.
