Went to the Unseelie Gathering in Paisley. Learned that if you think you're over-dressed for it you're wrong.

    Yes, looked more fashion-con than fantasy con! How much did you spend on your outfit?

    Hard to say. Probably around twenty pounds though. All reuseable bits. Charity shop purchases. Stuff I've made. The armour is infact cardboard, so very light, but based on real world armour parts. Research! Held up surprisingly well.

    You choose a family to be part of before the event. Each has a theme.

    Mine was The Withered. So I wore some lovely but faded old clothes. A green table-runner as a scarf. Pointed ears and horns (sheep-like). Pinned some bits of vine in my hair and drew some vine-like swirls on my face.

    Oh, and there was the metal-looking arm I made. Photo. An armoured looking left arm. Steel-effect with swirls. Distressed. Holding a drink in a plastic cup. POV of wearer.
