Re: [h-cost] Gen Con in Indy (was: Costume College)
Hve fun at College, ladies! Gen Con happens the week after. Is anyone going besides Dawn I? --cin I'm going -- running 5 games, plus probably some demos over at the Cryptic Studios/Hero Games booth. No idea if I'll have time to get together with anyone. With the convention center remodeling, my games are scattered around downtown Indy. And if I'm not on demo duty, I may head back to the hotel after my games. Due to things hitting the proverbial fan, I'm staying out by the airport and driving in each day; if I can't get downtown early enough for a cheap parking spot I'll want to get out of the expensive one ASAP.

[h-cost] Itlalian Renaissance hat
I'm trying to find a pattern or how-to make a round balloon like Italian hat, such as worn in Romeo and Juliette and THe Taming of the Shrew. It's a bel? I can't remember the term and can't seem to find a description in any painting. http://www.abcgallery.com/T/titian/titian96.html http://www.festiveattyre.com/research/secondflor/secflor29.htmlSincerely, Rebecca Rautine _ Time for vacation?

Re: [h-cost] Looking for Amsterdam museums events
I'm quite fond of Zaanse Schans, which I believe you can drive to in about an hour, depending on traffic. Yes, it's awfully touristy, but if you're a mech-e-geek, and if it's open, there's a windmill that you can climb inside of (the one for grinding paints). It's not handicap friendly, and keep an eye on the little ones, or they may end up under the millwheel. It was going full-bore last time I was there, and it was darn neat watching the gears and shafts turn. It creaked like a tallship under sail (which it definitely resembles). Scratch the kitty's head at the ticket counter. Costume content: they make and wear clogs in traditional fashion. I think some of the docents and employees also wear traditional costumes. Do check what parts of the Rijksmuseum are open. They've been renovating there for umpteen years, and you'd think they'd be done by now? Also check what they have on display. When I was there, uh, maybe 7 years ago, they had a small wing devoted to 18th century court gowns and lace.

Re: [h-cost] Itlalian Renaissance hat
Thank you. I recently saw The Taming of the Shrew and wondered about her head dresses and hair arrangements. I thought they were beautiful so I paused the film over and over to sketch the wedding dress, hair and all, then the complete set she wore at her sister's wedding. That wire thingy must have taken a lot of time to weave in and out and around in those angles. I'd love one like that. It's crown like but still a head garment. For my purposes, it doesn't matter if its authentic period. I think I'll make one to go with a gown I'm creating. Don't know all the stages yet but going to be maroon and gold, light ivory and black designs on the front. Maybe a blackwork chemise with blooming sleeves to show off the blackwork. I love embroidry so it may have lots of hidden little things only I'll know about. If I get to the sketch stage with final decisions, I'll post it.Sincerely, Rebecca Rautine Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:24:18 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:!
