Moroccan style lanterns crafted from laminated paper, with fabric insets and gold paint pen detailing. For sale at the Luminata - a lantern festival and fundraiser for the Fremont Arts Council, September 20 at Greenlake Park in Seattle. https://fremontartscouncil.org/luminata
An Edwardian style walking skirt, made from striped cotton yardage that I found at ReCreate - a recycled art supply store in Seattle. Not shown here are a pair of bloomers I cut from a damask tablecloth I found at a local thrift store. This is another step towards converting my wardrobe to a fully 19th century aesthetic.
A black linen hood with liripipe, and a sideless surcoat from pieced wools from my shop. Less visible is a long sleeved black wool tunic with cuffs and neck facings from the red striped wool seen here. Not seen here is a full length, long sleeved 'chemise' cut from a damask tablecloth. Every inch of textile in this ensemble are recycled. I am now to the point of piecing linens and wools together to form enough yardage to make garments.
Fruits of recent labors - paper lanterns for #Luminata in Seattle, a walking skirt from recycled yardage acquired at the ReCreate shop in Seattle, and a 14th century inspired ensemble for a performer, made from pieced wool and linen scraps from my studio. See the ALT text for more details.

Roman style embossed brass breastplate, held up to my body and photographed in a mirror. The gorget was already in my jewelry collection.
A sepia photo from 1897, showing the Baroness of Wolverton dressed as Britannia,with gown, breast plate, shield and trident. She attended the Duchess of Devonshire's Diamond Jubilee Ball in honor of the 60th anniversary of the reign of Queen Victoria.
My project for #WorldCon is an homage to "Britannia", a costume worn by the Baroness of Wolverton to the Duchess of Devonshire's Diamond Jubilee Fancy Dress Ball in 1897.
Because I accidentally won a bid on a breastplate at a fundraiser this weekend...

An immersive week with a well-to-do medieval household. If that's an astrolabe hanging on the wall near where the piper played, it might indicate that this was a merchant family.
Very nicely done. #medievasky #livinghistory

Counterfactuals for the geopolitically curious. What if the script flipped? The GPS of alternate timelines. Because history doesn’t repeat—it remixes. Let’s imagine the tracks that never dropped.
