Elizabeth Tudor, 1558-1600 Men's Fashions - Peasant Women's Fashions - Peasant Peasant Class Colors/Fabrics/Trims ... Reference Books WELCOME TO ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND! When you enter the gates of the Renaissance Faire, the world of 16th century England awaits. It is the "Golden Age," the English Renaissance, the time of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth Tudor, who reigned from 1558 to 1603. To escape the heat and stench of London in the summer, the Queen would often travel to the countryside and visit various towns and the estates of her nobility. Most of her court would travel with her, many of those in her government, and others looking for favor from the Queen. Add a full complement of servants for each high-born traveler and the numbers would often swell into the hundreds. At each stop, the hosting noble or town official would be expected to welcome the Queen with much pomp and circumstance, producing elaborate presentations, plays, masques and the like, for the Queen's enjoyment. It is one of these "progresses" that brings Queen Elizabeth to the Renaissance Faire. We do not portray a particular year for the Queen's visit, but roughly the period from the 1560's until just before the Spanish Armada in 1588. We are "a chapter, not a page" out of Elizabethan history.

Costuming and Care Tips The following is summarized from a variety of posts on the Med-dance mailinglist, which are stored in the Dancer's Archive . Addresses and other information on most/all of the vendors of costuming and fabrics mentioned below can be found on the Suppliers and Fabric pages. Contents: Beads and Sequins Cleaning Colorfastness Beading threads ... Zills and Metal Belts Beads and Sequins Cleaning "I would try taking a scrap strand of sequins and washing them the same way you would the costume and see what happens." Z'alandra "I might even suggest attaching the strand [of sequins] to a scrap piece of the cloth your costume is made from, just to make sure the colors do not run on to one another! Who knows what might happen to a white satin with dark colored sequins." Jennifer "[Washing sequins in cold or any temperature water] MAY ruin them. You would certainly not put them in the washing machine! The reason is the dye on the plastic (that is what sequins are made from today)they used to be metal) may not be very stable. Of greater concern, frankly, is the backing fabric. If it is silk, or cotton, or rayon that was not preshrunk before the sequins were attached, you run the risk of shrinking that fabric and bringing on a real disaster. If you know how to do a burn test on the fibers, that would be one way to find out. Otherwise, try putting drops of water on an inside or unnoticeable spot. If you notice any shrinking of the backing fabric or a change in color in the sequins, stay away from it. You should be able to safely clean the outside of the sequins with a DAMP cloth." Kareema

31. Susan Reed: Historical Costuming -- It's Not Who You Are, It's What You Wear Curatorial work came to mind, so I looked for a graduate program in historical costume — and found one in my own back yard at the University of Maryland. http://www.nachtanz.org/SReed/histcost.html

Current Article One way to approach a culture is through its clothing. Often its concepts of what is appropriate to gender roles, race, religions, ethnicity, occupations, socio-economic status, and such are embedded in its range of acceptable clothing. By examining what people wore under what circumstances, we can start to understand underlying social and cultural structures. At the same time we can appreciate the range of personal expression with a society. Meanwhile in the SCA, I work to promote better research methods through classes and articles. The artifacts we reproduce/recreate can be an exciting starting point from which to research the lives and times of those who would have made or used those artifacts in period. 15th-century Men's Doublets: An Overview Adobe Reader to view these files.

Newport Vintage Dance Week by The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers Home Newport 2003 Brochure Registration information Registration Form Sample Schedule ... Contact Us Costume Resource Compiled by These notes describe what we believe to be ideal dresses for balls and other period events. It is not expected that most attendees at the dance week will be able to attain that ideal or even come particularly close. These notes are provided so that those few who are particularly interested in the clothing of these periods can see what our thinking on these matters is, and so that others can have an idea, while searching their closets, of what might best approximate these styles. New attendees should know, as we hope past attendees have learned, that while excellence of dress is admired by many, this is not considered to be an important goal of the dance week and there is no particular reason why any given attendee should do more in this area than make a good attempt to fit in more or less with the theme of the day. Ladies' evening gowns of this era typically consist of a full gathered or pleated skirt, worn over a wired hoop (110-125” in circumference at the hem), a fitted bodice with rounded off-the-shoulder neckline and short puffed sleeves. The bodice is usually fastened at the center back by either hooks and eyes or lacing. Fabrics used were most often silks in taffeta, moire or brocades, in solids, stripes, small prints or plaids. For summer-wear, lightweight silk organza and cotton muslins were also used. Colors would be lighter for young ladies, darker for older women. Bright red should be avoided, as should black (in America) and very dark colors. The gown can be decorated with contrasting trim and black or white lace. Decorative elements (ruffles, bows, geometric designs, etc.) on the bodice and skirt usually matched, with the skirt decoration reflected on a smaller scale on the berthe (the broad band of trim below the neckline) of the bodice.

40. Crystal's Costuming Tarot Deck A delightful digital Tarot made from the authors photos. http://pw1.netcom.com/~fresne/crystaltarot.htm

Tarot Cards I am a woman of many projects. Can't help it. In 2000, I decided to make a tarot deck as birthday gifts for my friends. Well, ok, I'd wanted to do it for some time. When I was a child I tried to make a deck after reading a Princess of Flames, a fantasy novel by Ru Emerson. Two cards later, meticulously traced and colored with felt pen, I gave up. However, scanners and Photoshop make art possible for the drawing impaired. I've always loved symbolic imagery. Stories of transition, change. I'm particularly drawn to juxtaposition. People floating in clouds, a lake under a night sky reflecting a summer day. Ovid's Metamorphosis. That kind of thing. Anyway, click to see larger versions of the files and a brief explanation of my thought processes for each. And for more on my interest in legends and myths, check out the Morad Roel , a book a revised myths my friend Barbara (the page of pentacles) and I wrote in college. crystal carroll Major Arcana Cups Swords Pentacles ...
