Elbereth
Queen of Stars

Crown

The back center star glows from within the crown... gotta find a way to hide the battery pack. This light set was a find in the bridal section to be used to decorate tables at a wedding. The center emblem is the symbol for Elebreth, as used on the Banner of Elbereth in the movie. I used posterboard as a base, fun foam on top, fabric paint, Silver and Gold leafing pens and plastic gems. Each side has one of the two trees. The silver has a blue gem which symbolizes the moon. On the other side the gold tree has a yellow gem, which symbolizes the sun.

 

This is Anke who will be wearing the costume. This is the dress that was made by Maggie. This will be the cape. It has fabric paint embroidery on it. I may also use this cape iwth my Galadriel dress. This is one of the sleeve drapes. The hoop will go through her finger and the other side will attach under her arm. THere will also be clear, tear drop gems dangling from the bottom as weights. There is fabric paint embroidery in the shape of stars and beads glued on.
