RE: [h-cost] Anyone remember this dress?
Hi Penny~! Yup, I'm still here... just don't post very often these days. I *try* to keep up with H-cost postings but admit that sometimes when they flush in great batches I do have to skim over a bunch. Glad to hear you and your family are doing well. Good luck on the office, and the grout! ::Linda:: On Behalf Of Penny Ladnier Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 1:10 AM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Anyone remember this dress? Hi Linda, Good to see you on the web again! Those are some nice Cher links you sent. Thank you! You know I didn't take Cher's wig from the Richmond concert. Besides... I went to see her in Philly. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] movie costumes
Not if what she was wearing was obviously knitted. That's a humongous boo-boo, right there. Also, the color of the gown sounds really wrong--is there any evidence of linens being dyed in Egypt at that time? --Sue - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 01, 2007 10:07 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] movie costumes In the one about Joseph, Potiphar and his wife look fantastic! If I remembershe was in a sheer coral red crinkled gauze shift to her feet that had a turquoise knitted over dress, very open in its working, that made the whole thing appear like a coral and turquoise geometric patterned tube that clung tightly to the body. The naked body showed thru the bright gauze and the open work knitted shift had bits of gold bobbles worked into it...and it ended in tied tassels at her ankles. She wore that familiar wig, like a big hair helmet with hammered gold leaves that dangled and shimmered all over it. The dark cole eyes and red lipsshe looked like she stepped off a Pyramid wall! ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] Re: Green Valley
Before Christmas the BBC showed a film about preparing a Tudor feast, involving some of the same people as were in the Green Valley project. It was filmed at Haddon Hall here in Derbyshire, obviously in the summer although it was billed as a Christmas programme. It's a wonderful house, preserved but not lived in for centuries and so virtually unchanged. I've often thought I'd love to go there in costume. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Christmas Gift Exchange
Ha! Finally! my gift arrived! Apparently the description on the declaration wasn't convincing enough customs felt the need to open the package, so it was hung up at Canada Border Services Agency this whole time. Kelly Dorman sent me a beaded hat pin - it's just lovely! I had started my costuming days in the Victorian and Edwardian era, so I have a wonderful HUGE Victorian picture hat this will be perfect with! It's just the right colours for it too! Just in time to be photographed with my entire collection end of this week. I'm finally getting around to making a real portfolio. Very worth the wait. :-D Thank you!

RE: [h-cost] movie costumes
The Coptic's had a form of needle knitting and to my understanding a form of macramé' was known in Egypt. They also knew how to dye their fabrics. This is a start. http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/fabrics.htm http://africanhistory.about.com/od/hieroglyphs/a/ColorTech.htm What makes you think that they were so primitive as to not know how to dye fabrics?

Re: [h-cost] movie costumes
The Coptic's had a form of needle knitting and to my understanding a form of macramé' was known in Egypt. It's called naalbinding, and is almost identical to knitting except that it's done with a threaded needle. The thread follows almost the same path as it does in knitting, except that the worker has to thread a new needle every once in a while. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
