[h-cost] Bowing to the inevitable
After much prodding from various people, I've put up a Facebook page. Actually, I put up two -- one for my personal stuff and another for people who know me for my costume research and lecturing, because I don't think I could stay sane if I tried to deal with incoming information from both those groups simultaneously. For those of you who have asked me about this, you can find my professional page under my alternate e-mail, resea...@netherton.net -- or search on my name and pick the page with the profile photo of me in costume. I intend to use the page primarily to announce upcoming lectures and related events, but I figure it will also provide another avenue for people to reach me, and maybe a place to post links or flyers or such. Feel free to friend me if you'd find that useful. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Bowing to the inevitable
So did I. And as Robin says, I'd be delighted to be friended as many of us have corresponded over the years, cheered on each other's projects, swapped suggestions resources. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 3:38 PM, Robin Nethertonro...@netherton.net wrote: After much prodding from various people, I've put up a Facebook page. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Use of Buttons, was Regency Low stomacher
I still say easier. Total beginners can buy accurate historical patterns and follow them and look great, even if they're not costume-research junkies like me. Take, for example, a good historical campfire cook. They've got historical cookbooks like I've got historical costume books. They know their food and cooking history way better than I do. But many of these people either don't know much about costume history (except to wear a wool apron while cooking on an open fire) or they don't sew at all. Modern historical patterns, and online sources, mean that these folks can concentrate on what they do best without having to venture into a new field. It's easier now for beginners, with historically accurate commercial patterns available, color photos of originals, in books and online, and things like h-costume Theoretically yes, but I can't really agree because my experience has been that all too often the greater accuracy we may have achieved over decades, can all too often come across as intimidating, whereas starting from nothing way back when there was little good to compare it to :) -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
