Finally I have something to share when this post comes around!! Ansel II is wearing the beaded vest I made for my youngest son, waiting for the rest of his regalia to be finished. It's faux suede with about 3 pounds of glass pony beads in a modified Potawatomee design. The dance apron is going to have the central motif beaded on it as well, but I had to order more beads. I haven't decided if the moccasins will be beaded as well - depends on how my hands hold up. Eventually, I will probably make a shirt to wear under the vest as well, but for the moment he just wears a breastplate.
On the cutting table is new garb for the oldest son's Ren Faire character, Captain Sir Martin Frobisher. Actually, two new suits - one is more work-a-day brown Venetians with a plain doublet, the other is a nice two tone green brocade for a Court suit with slops and sleeves. Also three new chemises, since the old ones have been worn to rags.
