Part 2/2 of my mini project!
Part 1

Clothing:
For the outfit, I didn't have a lot to finish. I cut my hair, styled it (learning how to use a straightening iron was nerve-wracking) and bought a zip-up tie (what a fascinating invention!)

I was planning to put on make-up to make it seem like my cheekbones were sharper, but I didn't have the time to get the right materials.

Sceptre:
Last time I posted, only the blades were completed. I searched for an extendable pole, and found either an extendable hanger reacher, or an extendable utility pole. I decided on the utility pole, since it was hollow. I also ordered a blue emergency light for the sceptre's energy source. When everything came in, the pole had three sections, so I only used two. I also cut a hole in the plastic on one end of the pole, so the light fit snugly inside.

I also took a risk and sawed off the end of the emergency light so it would be the appropriate size (it worked because the bulb, wasn't at the far end of the light!)

I then painted the pole gold (both the inside and outside extendable parts), and the blades silver.

I measured the length of the pole so it would be appropriately sized for the "cane mode" and cut off the extra on both parts. All I needed to do was attach the blades to the pole!

To do this, I bought a 2" screw and the appropriately sized wingnuts and washers from the hardware store. The wingnuts would allow me to control the tightness of the blades so I could move them in upright postition or leave them down when "changing forms." I marked off, then drilled a hole across the pole, and drilled holes through the blades. I then attached the blades to the pole and secured them with wingnuts!
