Yes, I did look at them.? Impressive detail. My method has been to
search for character with costume, choose a model based on face and
maturity (rebuild body to be costumed, if necessary) and proceed
with fabric, lace and trim,buttons jewelry (sometimes fashioned to
replicate) wigged to period and character.? I amassed a fantastic
collection of?an antique inventory of the above from which to choose
when there is a work in progress. Just now I am working on Queen
Maud's (Norway, 1906) coronation gown and regalia.? This is a
rendering and not replication; close enough?for recognition.? I did
not want to commit myself to two years of beading.
