Daenerys Swag

Bonjour, mes petites flocons de neige! (Hello, my little snowflakes)

I hope you're all keeping warm in these wintery months.  If you live in the mid-west, like moi, you're probably cursing this arctic weather we're having.  I wouldn't mind the cold if it didn't make driving so darn difficult.  Every morning I say a prayer that my car will start despite the freezing temperatures.  Does it work?  Not usually, but ah well.  Three cheers for jumper cables!  Hoozah!

In other news, I finally made a FB page for those of you who want to follow only my Cosplay stuff.  Iz right here: ADD MEH ON FB BRAH

So I've had several requests for a few more Dany items, and I'm happy to finally bring them to you:

D A E N E R Y S  R I N G  

Yay!  Dany's ring!  I never wanted to make this before 'cause I could never find good shots of it, and I really didn't want to make a replica when I had little knowledge of how it looked.  Finally, I tracked down upclose photos of the ring, and without further ado:


I used a light weight aluminum metal for the ring portion and polymer clay for the top accent part.  I painted it with acrylic paints and added texture.  Then I slopped like literally ten coats of satin finish to it 'cause I was worried it wouldn't be durable enough.  Thankfully, it's been plenty durable.  I've been puttin' this baby through all kinds of wear and it's been holding up better than I expected.   


This ring and more is available in my Etsy shop.  (Link to your right!)

I fell in love with Dany's season 3 sapphire dress, and I really wanted to implement elements of her style into my own daily fashion.  And TADA!  A Dany inspired hooded cowl!  I cannot get enough of cowls, especially ones large enough to wear as a hood.  They look so chic I could squeak.  (WTF, why would that make me squeak?)  Anyways, they're super practical for the chillier months.  I never leave my house without one.    


The cowl is made with 100% acrylic yarn, so it's super soft and warm.  


And it also doubles as a ninja outfit!  HIYA!  (Available in my Etsy shop!)



I notice in GoT's season 4 trailer, Dany is still wearing her statement slave collar.  And I thought I'd share this updated version of my collar.  I really tried to use texture and color to replicate the cast iron look.  How'd I do? : )

Alright, that's all I got for today, loves.  Let me know what kind of tutorials you guys would like to see next!

Au revoir, my little dragons!

  1. Hi! I love all of your Dany items! I was wondering what pattern you used to make the hooded cowl?

    1. Hi Elizabeth!

      I actually just came up with my own pattern. I chained until I got the length I wanted, slip stitch one end of the chain into the other, making a circle, then alternate rows with double crochet and half double crochet. Finish off with a row of single crochet. : )

  2. Hi, me again, wow, we have a lot of similar interests! I just did a Daenerys cosplay too and was planning to do the slave dress but didn't have time to make the collar! I will eventually! And you're seriously gorgeous and look so much like the actress I'm kind of jealous! ;) I won't hold it against you. :P I'm going to start being better about writing up my costume stuff as well, it's something I've been bad at, thanks so much for doing this, it's a great resource! Oh, and I also have Etsy stores... yeah... anyway! Take care!

  3. Love it. I wish I could get a collar but I am in Mexico and the post is dreadful so I am going to have to try and figure out how to make it on my own. I don't know how you did it but the iron effect is fantastic!
