Hey quick Q! Would a Gunne Sax dress be appropriate for the fair if we came and I wanted to dress up? I don't wanna look like an idiot, but I like dressing up. I have two different ones. Here's a link to an example of one.

The best thing to do is to study the shapes of real armor and draft your design based on what is possible, taking into consideration both the shape of the shoulder and range of motion you wish to get from the piece.

Sorry I have been having computer issues and busy making stuff for the multicultural fest. Otherwise I would comment more although I think this new laptop will help on that issue

This is going to sound really weird, but...Did you buy me a subscription?

Laycaris In reply to littleblondemoron [2009-11-15 17:40:17 +0000 UTC]
I don't believe so, usually when someone gives you a subscription DA will tell you who did so. I don't remember doing so. I have purchased subs for others before and I always make them one year subscriptions.

Thank this crazy individual, [link]
I got the idea from something she said when we were talking about something I can't quite remember. It had something to do with lemons, that's about all I can remember. My brain ran away after that.

Likewise. I thought I had a watch out on your alternate profile but didn't realize that was not the case until I was updated by Venali popping up in the watch alerts. Situation corrected.

Thanks so much for the fave. That is one that I still have, and still am quite happy with.

I've always wondered about the process of inlaying. I would need someone to show me how to dovetail the groove, though.

I recommend the relevant chapters in THE ART OF ENGRAVING, by James Meeker.

Best of luck with your engraving and inlay. That book is sort of thick going, but there is a lot of useful information in it.

Anyone who costumes up as a Lord of the Rings character is alright in my book. Pretty creepy impersonation of Wormtongue there. *shudders*
Come to think of it, there are now two females that I watch that have dressed up as the same character. This is a slightly disquieting realization.

Hehe. . . . I just realized you are the sister of the person and that the person I was referencing is the very same person in the picture, I just didn't realize it at the time. *slaps forehead*
Inki is going to have a field day with this.
By the way, it's not nice to hold the ball from Dinki. Poor puppy!

You're very welcome. I still can't get over how much Dinki looks like my little Sadie. I need to post some pictures of her doing something silly.
You've got some good stuff. Some of it makes me laugh and some of it makes me check the woods for hooded figures before leaving the safety of the house.

Aww, you changed it to something with no creepy factor. I thought the last one, like several before it, was funny but creepy. I kinda liked the bugged out eyes.

This is your official harassment message. Will you be at the party? If you just said "uh...no" in your mind you are wrong. You will be there, we have mind control powers...see? You just said yes.
