A cursed sword pulled from a wounded god.

This was a fun project, it was more of a restoration/conversion than a full build. It was originally an old style boffer but the tape was breaking and we wanted to save the amazing pommel. So I removed the old blade using my bandsaw then built a new style blade for it.

I had fun making this. It's hammered and oxidised copper, cleaned and polished with a sapphire crystal navette.

“I am wearing a vintage Westminster Heritage Burberry trench coat that I up-cycled and wore upside down, a see-through mesh top underneath a micro crop top and shoes from Denizen Fire Island. A headpiece I made and pants from Nasty Pig. My look is inspired by Fashion Futurism and centered around Black beauty.”

“My outfit is a combination of pieces I thrifted from different vintage boutiques & thrift stores. I love second-hand clothes. My style is inspired by 70s Blaxploitation films. The fashion & style in these movies was sooo funky.”
