I finished all my Wizard's props. I had already decided that he'd have a cord 'belt' as opposed to a leather one, and I made him a cloth bag for all his 'magic talisman', to hang from it. The bag has long fringes on the bottom, into which I tied even more 'magic' objects. I chose a nice letter opener sword, and it needed a scabbard, which I suspended from a leather strap tied around his waist.
Next, he needed a staff. Jan drilled a couple of small holes into the end of a thin wooden dowel so i could make a wire armature for the sculpted end. The decorative end that holds a small fancy marble, was sculpted of Apoxie. In the past I've always made the tops of the staff out of polymer clay, and that does make for better details, as it's easier to form into fine details, but I wanted the strength of Apoxie, so went with that this time.
All his props completed....
