I have a couple of pictures of Tim at the Castle. I figured they came out pretty good. Here's one with Tim, posing as Bags, having come back from the Darkling Forest.



The cloak he's wearing cost 150.00. Hmmmmmmmmmm. And it wasn't any thing fancy, capi! Sheeeesh. Just a khaki colored material.

Twern't cloaks you gifted me with, dear lil sis. It was love made visible and wearable. I'm thinking bout making some of this niche stuff. Leather is also very spensive, but I bet I let loose with some change down the road.

Leather is YUMMER.... but it's also very hot wearing. Of course, your weather is not the same as mine. Most of our faires here require the sort of fabrics that absolutely BREATHE, the sort of fabrics you can drench with water often during the day without fear. *whew*

Yes! YES!! I knew you would understand those cloaks! I bet you can even see the silver embroidery all over the blue/black one that i could not make but wanted to! *hee*

What I can see is the silver of your soul, running like threads through all the fabric.

L is for Leather, which means boots and stuff.

Is you gwana make BOOTS??? *impressed* Dat's HARD!

Re: *wide-eyed innocent look*

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

I'm a thinking bout it. I used to work leather years and years ago. How hard can it be?

Oh, and there's hundreds of tutorials and advices out on the 'net. I got help!

Well..... i know that one of the big name boot-makers that does faire has like a six year apprenticeship program. To me, that says "This boot-making, she is TRICKY!!", so i'm glad there is help for you! It sounds fascinating to me! (Which is why, if ya thinks about it, i know there's an apprenticeship program. *heh*)

Boots are indeed an adventure! Since most of them are crafted to the individual foot, and the type of leather that is used can be a bit daunting, as well as the stitchery (yep, I like the idea of hidden stitches), I can believe in the apprenticeship. Of course, I'm not your average joe, so i can be my own apprentice. Heck, it's only taken me three tries to make a decent loaf of bread by hand... Boots are at least as tough.

*grin* Indeed! You are most *certainly* NOT your average joe! You will make the most astonishing boots, and you will eat the most amazing bread! And so many other things!

Hey, what happened about the sword? Anything?

Re: *wide-eyed innocent look*

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, the sword as slipped through to another dimension. It is Doubtful it will ever be seen again.

Re: *wide-eyed innocent look*

That.... is a sorrow.



In this, i do most sincerely hope you are, for once, wrong. I don't expect that you are, but i hope so.

Re: *wide-eyed innocent look*

Sis, it would be nice to be wrong. Being wrong is always an education, for sure and true.

Hope you're doing Wondermaus! And if not, know that I'm thinking of you and holding you in my heart.

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

I love you sis. God bless and keep you.

I love you, too, dearest Chet. Only... does it sometimes feel like that word isn't really big enuf? *smile*
