MAAS Photo Albums, finally! (part the first)
Last September I participated in Much Ado About Sebastapol (MAAS), a renaissance faire held in a quaint wine country town up north from me. I made a lovely outfit for that event, that I've worn a few times since. I even started a series of entries sharing my research and how I was going about making these garments. But in the middle of the work, I found I needed to focus on sewing, and didn't have time to actually write up the process. Thankfully I did take photos of most of the creation process.
Then time passed. And the photos were ignored since there were so many of them. And how would I actually share how I made the outfits since it would bore folks to tears to read about the how-I-did-it in one large chunk of a dress diary, and I didn't have the patience to make smaller entries. So more time passed until recently, when I realized I had nearly forgotten about this outfit, and it really was a very nice outfit and I should just suck it up and do something to post something about how I went and made the outfit. Especially since I've had folks ask me about it when I wear it to various events. To tell you the truth, I'd even forgotten how I'd done a good chunk of it until I looked at the photos again.
So today, while relaxing from yesterday's activities, I spent some time to work on the Red Kirtle photo album, and found I had already posted the Coif album (but not said anything about it). So, here then are two albums of the four planned.MAAS Red Damask Kirtle
Basic Coif for MAAS
Tomorrow I will work on the Gown album, and a final album of photos showing how I look in the outfit, along with a write-up in my web site to tie it all together.
If there are any problems with the photos or any questions, you know where to comment (or comment on the photo albums if you want.)
