of Costumes and Blogs

Firstly, as a follow-up to yesterday's conversations about costuming-- I'd like to spotlight 2 people in the costume community and their respective websites: Lydushka's Completely Custom Creations and Xeph-ink. I've had the pleasure of viewing these makers' costumes in person, and they are absolutely gorgeous. If you, like me, are not particularly gifted in the construction process, please check these out.

As a closing thought, please go check out the following blogs-- FairEscape and Larpcast. Larpcast has a new episode featuring the co-creator of Wyrdcon. FairEscape is not a new blog, but a blog I started reading recently-- her writing is great,  and her costuming is stunning. Please do go check out this blog for more reading material!

Hello all,
I'm currently stomping blight at the Mirror, Mirror revel. However, I'm more than happy to shoot you a few links and and exciting announcement. My friend, Jyn, of Madrigal and NERO fame, sent me a pile of LARP websites to consider. Give them a look-- I haven't had a chance to yet, but I'd love to get your thoughts.
