Found Cosplay - Hobbits

3/13/2014

I have been busy preparing for my Durin's Day Party and some people have mentioned concerns that, in my encouraging everyone to have a costume, they aren't sure how to dress or put together an outfit. Some people don't sew and so I wanted to offer low-cost alternatives to get the look.

This is the first (of what will hopefully become a series)
of Found Cosplay ideas. You may already have some of this in your closet or you can visit a local consignment shop or thrift store to piece it together.

Today we are starting with - HOBBITS

"Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch." --The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book I, Chapter 2: "The Shadow of the Past"

Bay Area Renaissance Festival!

The Bay Area Renaissance Festival is now in full swing here in Tampa, FL.  I really do enjoy going to Ren Faires - the clothing, the jewelry, the leather work, the Human Combat Chess match - it is a unique and different atmosphere. It is also a place full of color and variety in terms of photography. I take more pictures between late February and the beginning of April than I do any other time of year.  I average 2,000-3,000 photos per day I visit the fair, and I try and go once a weekend. I have to plan an extra afternoon each week just to go through and edit the photos (I mostly just crop and adjust lighting and contrast.)

Here's some of my best so far. If you're in the Central Florida area I highly recommend visiting the Faire ...just make sure to wear close-toed shoes. You'll thank me.


...it's really dusty...

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
