Black/Red Ninja and Link
November 06, 2010
I have to share my girls costumes this year. They worked on them for two months. Auberne` is a black and red female ninja named Black Rose.
She has duel Ninja swords and the tattoo on her arm says Willow in Japanese.
The coolest thing Auberne` made is a hand-guard with darts. You can pull out each dart to throw.
Chloe went as Link from the Legend of Zelda. Her and David made this wooden Highland shield. She painted it by herself.
I wish you could see all the details she put into this costume, which a lot of it she hand sewed. She made the ears and the long green cap has all this detail on the side. The little glittered creature on her shoulder is a little fairy called Navi.
Link carries a bottle on Lon-Lon milk and on her glove is the symbol of the Triforce.
Chloe always makes a costume for her doll, Elisabeth. She went as Zelda who gives Link a Ocarina of Time (the blue thing in Chloe's hand. It is kind of like a flute). I am always amazed at how creative and talented my girls are. I have to say they are wonderful at picturing what they want, figuering out how the end product should be and how to make it happen with what they have. Well done sweeties, I think you are awesomesauce (an inside family joke) xoxoxo
Oh Wow-
I see kindred spirits in our girls. My oldest was determined to be a female samurai this year (I don't think they really exist). She pulled it off and she looked terrific.

It's so nice to see teenagers working on things like this, crafting and sewing instead of all that store bought stuff. Tell them great work!

I don't know anything about the Ninja or Link, but your girls are certainly imaginative and creative in their costumes and sewing! Great job, girls! Perhaps they should be thinking of costume design for theatre?
