The Bard Renard

It's almost time for the festival season to begin and I'm making a mad dash to get everything done. Wish me luck!

I'm building my Patreon page slowly but surely. What kind of content do you look for as a patron?

One mighty overhaul later and we're back on track. #Bard ##musician #medieval #Renaissance #renaissancefestival #renfaire #renfairecostume

This is a Tabor Pipe. It's meant to be played with one hand and traditionally is played with a drum as well.

What may look like a tangled mess of tarps and rope is actually a camp.

Today I'm moving a teardrop. It's also two weeks of doing regular content. Did you know I have a Patreon? www.patreon.com/TheBardRenard

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your day is wonderful and filled with love.❤️

A pile of blue fabric.

It may not look like it but one day this pile of fabric shall be a lovely gown. #Bard #musician #medieval #Renaissance #renfaire #renfairecostume

Rainy days require soup, tea, blankets, and books. Except for when they require renaissance faires. Today it's books and blankets for me. Soon it will be faire.

I use a lot of different instruments to make the music that I make. This one is called a Shruti Box.

Just a girl and a citole. Look for me on other platforms to see videos of me singing and playing.

A roll of orange trim.

Today is sewing day. Check out this trim I found for the dress I'm making.

Eli is not sure about this new thing she found on her adventures.

A copper mug with an owl face.

I have a question for all of you who dress up for faire, both performers and patrons. What's the one part of your kit that you couldn't live without?

A four string instrument.

This is Jeremiah the citole and he would like to say hello.

Did you know that certain songs we're familiar with today actually have their roots in medieval times? While I don't post videos here you can find one of me singing songs like this on other platforms.
In other news I found this critter lurking around. Maybe they'll make an appearance in the future.

I'm attempting to do better at social media. So, I've given myself a challenge. I'll be posting everyday from February 1st until the end of April to see what works for me. Stick around for all the fun.

This beautiful sunset caught me by surprise. The day may have gotten away from me a bit.

Why couldn't they just have said what they meant???!!!

I'm slowly working my way through the long list of medieval music I need to learn. Progress is being made.

The winter icky has found me. Hopefully it's just allergies and not the dreaded pumpkin sickness that comes from eating too many pumpkin seed. It's dreadful. You turn into a bard.

So do I. ❤️ This is wrong side out, the other side is a shade darker. I thrifted it from a little shop in an undisclosed location 😉.

Preparations for almost any event commonly includes some sewing. This is for a dressed based on 12th century fashions. Currently it looks like I'm being buried in blue fabric.

Apparently 35. Now I want pancakes...
