Welcome to my costuming blog! Maybe someday I can make a career out of this sort of thing, but for now I am simply a hobbyist doing research and re-creating garments based on medieval sources - archaeological finds, wardrobe accounts, paintings, sketches, and sculptures. My goal is to have fun, learn some new things along the way, and share my experience.

Grab your pointy shoes, we're going to the 14th century!
After the verbal prodding I received from one of my A&S judges yesterday, I've decided to begin perusing 14th century artwork for inspiration for my next formal project. Depending on my level of costumer's ADD (and whatever real-life ridiculousness comes my way), it may be a single garment, a set of clothing accessories, or a full on-the-body clothing review. Along the way I have a list of books and online resources that want reading. This time I've got a bit of experience under my belt and I have a better understanding about the importance of thorough documentation as well as producing a high-quality item.
