13 Days To Go: Sceptre (Part Two) and Coat (Part One)

Time seems to be flying by an in my absence, I have managed to complete my sceptre and make a start on my top jacket, armour and top (As well as going to see The Avengers for the fifth time).

After days of making a mess of the conservatory and yelling at inanimate objects when they don't do what I want them to do, my sceptre is finally complete. I may have ripped off half of the skin cells on my fingers in the process because super glue is one awful thing to work with. 

The jacket is basically the outer leather coat Loki wears during The Avengers. It is almost complete; I just need to neaten up the seams and edges and sew on the embellishments. I am surprised that the basic shape was started and complete in one day (today) because I'm not usually someone who has a lot of determination.

On another non-costume related note, yesterday I watched The Hollow Crown: Henry IV Part One. Brilliant TV. Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston are amazing actors who have the ability to create such in-depth characters and really suit Shakespeare. It was the highlight of my evening, or maybe even my week, and it was worth waiting an extra hour for it due to the tennis! Part Two is on next week, and Hiddleston's The Hollow Crown: Henry V is aired when I get home from Comic Con on the 21st- it should be a good day!
