I decided, very short notice, that my fiance and I would be attending Planet Comicon in Kansas City, MO. Since, I have less than a month to prepare, I had to decide on a cosplay that was simple. After looking though the Skyrim artbook, I decided I'd attempt a novice mage wearing the Amulet of Dibella (

The Amulet of Dibella is the first piece I've started working on, and I ended up finishing that today.

The pendant itself was carved from Sculpey clay and resembles something a first grader might create, but I'm proud of it regardless. All other pieces were bought from Hobby Lobby, who, would you know it, had 50% off of jewelry making items. Cosplaying on a budget is always nice!

I used a bronze pigment and mixed it with Mod-Podge for "paint" to keep a more uniform color of the amulet. The leaves were also pieces from pendants pre-made at Hobby Lobby because I was too lazy, and admittedly unskilled, to make the leaves myself. While it's not exact, I like my rendition of the amulet and can't wait to wear it to Planet Comicon.
