Finished Cardboard Shield
Back of Shield
What I’ve been up to:
Made a shield for my main character. It’s made of 4 pieces of thick cardboard, fused together with wood glue. The raw cardboard edges I covered with electrical tape, and then plastered the whole thing (once the design was painted) with 6 or 7 layers of Mod Podge and Acrylic sealer.
The finished shield has a carrying strap attached to the D-Rings and a little pouch for items.
My character chose the Pomegranate as the design for the front. It represents prosperity, but not without hard work. (Plus adds to my Mediterranean look too)
