Lost in Cyberspace
The "Cul-de-sac" vest is done, but it needs to be blocked, and I don't want to take pictures of it right now because it looks Stupid. If, indeed, it looks Intelligent after I block it, I will ask Sam to take pictures of it, and I will blog them, and you can then see it. If, however, it still looks Stupid after I block it, I won't. Ha! The power of the blog. Entire garments, unvisualized, lost not in cyberspace, but in some alternate reality next to cyberspace. Which, I guess, would be the reality of my sweater drawer. Or, failing that, Goodwill.
I've run across some blogs belonging to people involved in historic recreations, for which I'm mightily grateful. The Costumer sews up medieval and renaissance garb -- lately she did herself physical damage, I think, spending hours on the floor on her knees marking out the lines for the embroidery on a Really Big Piece of white fabric for an Elizabethan wedding dress. Lovely.
Laren, at The Needle's Excellency, has been working on 17th century spot motifs, easier to mess with than a giant wedding dress -- you can carry them around, you know, and also they get done quickly, and you can move on to another one. Lovely.
And a Californian, running Thrednedle Strete, experiments. At the moment, the production of Elizabethan starch is going on -- apparently it's difficult to get the right materials. Lovely.
I've been too loaded down at work in the last few semesters to fully exercise my rights as Costume Designer for the Players -- but these blogs have caused me to miss that action dreadfully. However. We've got plans to perform the "Gethsemane" scene from the N-Town "Passion" play next year, so that'll give us a chance to use one of my Angel costumes, an example of which you can see if you click here and then scroll down to observe God -- angels, God -- we put them in the same costume (scroll down further to observe the lovely black Devil's costume -- medieval devils always get to wear The Latest Fashion). But we now add a nice golden God Mask, which we didn't own when we did "The Four Daughters of God."
Oh, but Starch Experiments. What fun. I definitely must figure out a reason I need to perform Starch Experiments. Lovely.
