My dremel just broke leaving me unable to complete the sword pictured here before my next con.

If I pull a page from the firebending playbook and get light flowing fabric for an accessory prop, do you think it would look too cartoony to pair with a dark souls cosplay?

Currently making Quelaag's Furysword out of wood. The sword itself isn't too heavy (~10-15lbs) but all the weight is at the tip which makes it hard to handle (the sword is well over 6ft long).

My best suggestion for large weapons is to make the pommel actually functional as a counterweight. Yes, adding weight might be the last thing you want to do, but you'll be surprised how much easier it is to handle if you can bring the balancing point close to the handle.

PS: I'd appreciate a fabric id on this gold hemmed set I'm making. I'm thinking cotton or a cotton/polyester quilting fabric, but I couldn't find any sheets with a pronounced texture.
