Renaissance Festival

    Well I don't have many pictures of my friends costume before the festival because my dress form isn't the right size for her clothes so I'm combining those pictures with the pictures from the festival.

    I'm dressed and ready to go. The pouch is the one I made last year  for the festival  here Link. I thought as I spent money it would get lighter since it was kind of heave starting out but for some reason it seemed to get heaver as I spent money, how weird is that!


  Back view of my outfit. I do have a confession about this though. My hair is that long but it's not that thick. I added extensions to make it look thicker, I wish I had thicker hair but I don't so there it is.


   Here you can see the front of my friends outfit. She picked different designs to compose her look and this is the final look. She had a wine colored peasant blouse, black underskirt, and a bodice with split panels.


  The real show stopper of her outfit was in the back of her bodice. I cut out a circle and put eyelets an inch apart then wove a dream-catcher design and hung a sun charm with a wine colored stone in the center. I have never done this before so it was a learning experience for me. I'm happy with the final outcome and I think I would like to have it in the back of a jean jacket.

  A vendor sells AMAZING  wood work and this was one of his creations. I wish I had the money and way of hauling it. I loved the natural look like it had just happened to grow that way with a stone seat in the center.


    Lost in the maze and not minding one bit.

     They also had murals in the maze. This was a very interesting one of sirens.

These are my souvenirs this year. The flowers are a ridiculous  price because they had thistles for the Highland Fling.  My ocarina that I have been wanting for about 12 years and my chalice. I love drinking from my chalice it makes me feel like I'm in another time.

 It also matches the bowl I bought last year from the same vendor.  Next year I'll probably get a plate for the complete matching set.
And that's everything I think. I have more projects planned for the not to distant future. I'll see you then. Fare thee well.
