Documentation

162/365-18/01/08

 

This year I had originally intended to enter Montengarde's arts and sciences championship, which would have required three projects in different media - I was going to do costuming, cooking and calligraphy. The more research I did on the cooking and calligraphy the more I realized I wouldn't have the level of research I wanted by the deadline, but I still entered the costuming entry. This is a scene from the night before the competition, with me going through all of my sourcebooks to write documentation indicating what might have been done in the 16th century and why I did things differently.

 

Pluderhose are a type of men's pants from the second half of the sixteenth century - you can see a picture of me wearing the finished product here.
