The time has come, the Walrus said...
Nearly a year after the province stopped, I got the time off other folks had earlier last spring. After catching up on almost 7 years of not enough sleep, I now have both the time and the energy to really tuck into some projects I have been thinking about for years.
My goal over the next while is to clear up some UFO's out of my workshop, and to make accessories for the garb I already have. Details make or break an outfit, and just give the whole look some polish.
Also: I love hats. Any excuse for a funky hat is a good one.
I have been focusing on early to mid 16th century German Renaissance for the past couple of years, and the hats are truly spectacular. I have two different unisex styles that I did a while back, and earlier in the Plague I made a couple of 'starfish' style soft caps. Now its time for some fancier ones. I poured over my art collection and discovered new portraits online as well the past couple of weeks and I have narrowed down my options to four distinct types (for now).
Gold fabric, gold embroidery, pearls, gems, spangles, sequins and bling - oh my!
This is going to be fun.
