Pop/Beer Can Tab Armor: This is a suit of armor made entirely of pop/beer can tabs and copper wire. It started out as a few tabs strung together after watching Edward Scissorhands, but quickly evolved as my Obsessive Compulsive Nature set in. It's surprisingly durable, a…

Here's one {of many} things that've been happening since I last updated you guys on my battle Tauriel costume... My pop-tab shoulder chainmail pauldrons are 100% finished (with the help of some donations from friends)! :D As you can see, they're a general diamond shape, with some slight shaping at the upper top for the shoulder so they'll lay better.

Ahhhh major nostalgia coming on right now... 1 year ago I wrote "the final update" for my first Tauriel cosplay (her "archer" costume). And now here I am, writing the final update for my Tauriel inspired costume. P.S. I'm really sick of how fast time flies. :P Anyway. Here we go with this final update about the making of battle Tauriel! :) Two changes occurred over the past week since my last post.
