Scalemail and Chainmail for Ser Criston Cole’s Kingsguard Armour - House of the Dragon, Season Two Alongside the builds for Aegon Targaryen’s armour, I prototyped, patterned and fabricated the scalemail and chainmail skirts and sleeves for Criston Cole, with support from @lizzie_harkin . This time with alternating etched and plain scales. These panels were integrated into tunics worn beneath the cuirass. Six sets of these armours were built for cast Fabian Frankel and stunts. The overall armour build involved the entire team.

Scalemail & Chainmail Armour for King Aegon Targaryen - House of the Dragon Season 2 Prototype sampling of scalemail and chainmail, alongside pattern cutting and fabrication of the skirts and sleeves, led by Amy Westwood, with support from @lizzie_harkin . I led the pattern cutting and making of the sleeves and skirts across both prototype and final builds. The scalemail and chainmail were constructed using aluminium with a leather backing, making it lightweight, then coloured to look authentic. This was a large-scale collaborative build that took place over several months, to create eight full sets of armour for cast Tom Glynn-Carney and stunts.

Worth it. #lamourdress

Annual pilgrimage to Sète complete. All love to my @badgirlsgroove family ❤️

Spent a whole month and a half knitting the @westknits #shawlographymkal I love how it turned out and learned a TON of new techniques. I think it should be the Stephen west annual samplerathon! Used @dropsdesign alpaca mix yarn and 3.75 needles.

Just checking the levels... #tbt Gigging in Monaco for a conference back in 2019. Genuinely love these kind of gigs, people watching, going new places, sneaking a look into another world and getting paid to sing of course. Desperately hoping Brexit won’t kill these kinds of gigs for me. There’s a petition on change.org for a musicians passport, if you can take a second to look it up and sign it would be hugely appreciated. #singer #brexit #musicianspassport #roamingband #gig #corporategig #functionband
