Liddy Ackerman has appeared in this blog before, with her beautiful Dryad costume. She took our Introduction to the Organic Armor Arts course in 2017. Her latest creation is a royal masterpiece – King Theoden’s armor, based on the Lord of the Rings films. She made this 10 piece armor set for her husband Alwin. It’s made of latex and fiber using the OAA techniques, except the pauldrons which are worbla. She also used the oogoo process to cast some of the ornament. Like the dryad costume, it took many painstaking hours, especially the scaled skirt. What an amazing result!
