What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Interesting choice of costume subject, narfforc. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone dressing up as Pallando before.

Feel free to post pictures of yourselves in your costumes here, or link to them. I'm sure we'd all love to see your handiwork!

Once The 2005 celebration is over, I will send one to the picture page.

In The Lord of the Grins, Palindrome (Pallando) and Avatar (Alatar) each become a Dog God.

I'm planning on making a t-shirt. I want either hobbits, Aragorn, the White Tree, or elven script. I can't seem to find a pic that I really like. Any help?

This isn't a movie cap or anything, but it's a really great version of the White Tree.

I was quite impressed by some mad head gear I saw online but alas was daunted by the prices (over £150

). I thought "psht, I can make those myself" so today I've been making a mad head-piece 'thing' out of various thicknesses of twisted silver plated wire, little bells and beads, all worked into little spires and tangles and things. I might bring it along to Birmingham once it's finished, though I may have to wear the thing on the train so it doesn't get squashed...

Oh, my goodness!

Lalwendë, if I saw someone wearing a hat like like that, after my experiences on Brit Rail (Well, mainly from Newcastle to York), I would assume you were part of one of those "hen parties". I saw three of them on the way down, and in fact, when we were leaving York, one of the parties was preparing to return North, so I got up the courage to enquire of them their pursuits. Well, not anything in any great detail mind now, but enough to get the gist of this very English ritual. Will you be having a Middle earth hen as preparation for your wedding with davem?

Hats, of course, are a particularly English form of costume, as I also learnt last summer. I wonder, was there an especially hobbitish form of haberdashery? Or were only the wizards noted for pointy things?

Thanks Enca! I will consider using that one. Elfwood, eh? I have a good friend (also a Tolkien fan) who has drawings there.

You are a very brave woman. Approaching a hen party is fraught with danger. And it sounds as though these were Geordie girls, which is even more scary. Now seeing as I don't really drink (I can only handle a pint) and I find gangs of party-hungry women truly frightening, then you can safely assume that I shall not be getting up to those kinds of antics.

Oh no, the thingie I've made is rather random and strange, almost as though it had fallen apart and had to be put back together agian, or as though it has been found in an attic, all in bits. It's not the kind of thing a traditional girlie might go in for. At least I hope not...

I had to get davem to model it for me so I could see how it looked, and it didn't look girlie on him anyway (he'll kill me now...).
