Bows and Arrows

The half Giant half Cave Troll wanders through the woods with her baby cuddled tightly to her, feeling somewhat misunderstood. Suddenly arrows fly past her. Where did they get arrows? This was new; swords yes, but arrows.The baby known as Siren begins to scream. The archers run towards her dropping to their knees before her. Her powers of mind control still working. Mama begins a lullaby lulling their enemies to sleep. Silently they walk on undisturbed by the flight of arrows.
This is a picture of the never before seen baby half Giant half Cave Troll Siren demonstrating her powers of Mind Control


Pictured above two of the three fearless warriors in pursuit.

We had a lot of trimming to do this weekend and had the random thought of making handmade bows and arrows. Why not? They won't cost anything. Tree Branches, a mail tube, canvas, hemp twine and we are done. They work too! Who would have thought!
We are going to make Wands next weekend(lots of sticks). Has anyone done this, made wands I mean? Let me know how you did it?and What and if it worked well for you?

if you can whip up a bow and arrow, you can make a wand blindfolded. Great idea, I bet they had a hell of a time!
