Legolas Chalkboard

We're still studying bit and pieces... and it can get a bit messy in here at times.

For most of his outfit, go back to his character page.

Chalkboard currently contains just the sleeves

Focus on the Sleeves

The sleeves are complex, so here's some extra help.  Top dark green petal is lined and the lining is top stitched down.

Da current basic description on how to make them:

Examples of the sleeve constrution (and how to have fun w/ your muslin at the same time): http://www.oldwaylane.net/hobbit_costumes.html 

• Padding though the reeds

    • med, fuzzy, large
    • We're seeing the sleeve a lot differently here.  The dark green over-sleeve seems to wrap all the way around to the front.  It's hard to tell if they're attached or separate, but the darker green seems to come up almost all the way around.
• Padding down river

    • Waist shot, fuzzy
    • Great for construction details can be seen by how costume is moving
    • Look at the suede sleeves
    • Note now the top sleeve is very stiff.  On the left it is standing out.  On the right, it is keeping it's curve from being set in the sleeve cap
• Kneeling down feeding Sam

    • long of Legs, clear

    • Some side detailing on his quiver we don't see elsewhere
    • Good detailing on his bow
• Aiming to the left. Ready to shot (new bow)  - two sizes
