Fabric Swatches - Misc Elven

Just some discovered swatches.  The more shiny and exotic fabrics do not scan as well as the naturals.  However, we've found some really nice substitutions.

Good matches for elves  
Good choice for Aragorn's Rivendell outfit.  While they probably used silk velvet, stretch velvet makes a nice substitute.  This thick napped velvet is actually a nice shiny dark grey that catches the light.  (Much prettier than it scanned, almost pewter.)

Em-Be Fabric

  • $5, card 1
  • "black-grey stretch velvet"
Galadriel's Farewell cloak is probably made from silk, but this fabric is a soft poll satin that will give almost the same drape.  Not too stiff for a cloak.

Em-Be Fabric

  • $5, card 5
  • "white satin"
 
Legolas shirt fabric

 

Silk Dupioni-Blue Ice

Silk velvet.   These are hand dyed into colors that are useful colors for LOTR recreations.  The fabric is actually silk/rayon which means it can be acid etched, as many of the fabrics were
