Yay for the thread revival - and yay for Seryn being so passionate about her costume and yay for pictures - YES PLEASE!!

I should take some of the fabric I bought and the sketches I did too... I have decided to go with a themed party for my birthday in August too - just so I can wear Persephone twice...

How does "Deities and Religious Figures" sound to you?

I am so looking forward to this night!!

night? i'm wearing mine the whole day - as long as i can get away with it! (which is why i decided to go with the 300 style one - so much easier to pree sew and stabler!)

well, pictures on the way, cept i can't find the originals, so i'm drawing them again (just as badly) and i'll put them up asap.

see you soon!

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

I think that sounds awesome Magdelena!

I stopped at the craft store over the weekend to buy a bit o' yarn and some fabric to line a purse I've knitted and I found fabric for Mai's Selene costume and trim for Ath's Apollo costume, but nothing that struck out for me.

But, I know exactly what I want, so it's just a matter of finding it.

I was watching Rome, and all the women have this nice dresses that tie or fasten at the shoulders and I think that would be lovely, except for the problem of bra straps. Trying to decide what to do about that. I could maybe do a, oh what's it called Seryn? When you make a little drawstring that gathers it all up. I have a shirt that does that on one side and then you tie it in a little bow. That would be easy to do and you could do it wide enough that you could hide bra straps underneath.

Anyway, rambling now.

And Seryn,

have you found any good costume patterns for men? I can find instuctions on making a costume for a woman, but not for the menfolk.

I'm trying to figure out how many yards I'd need to buy if I find something I like. I'm making 4 costumes atm.

I'm tired of having to go hunting for this, so I'm bumping it up.

I've bought materials to make CallmeAth's Apollo, Mai's Selene and cozen's Hermes. I had to special order my fabric (grr. argh.) I haven't done any actual sewing yet, but I will start soon!

Yay for costumy fun! I've seen quite a few different styles of the "roman" shoe, but none in the color I want. My question is, if you wanted to dye shoes to a particular color, what would be the best way to go about it? I know there is RIT dye, but is there any way to prevent the color from running or coming off on your skin?

Not that I know of. I got shoes dyed at a shoe repair shop once. He dyed them black for me. It wasn't very expensive. Depending on what the shoe is made out of, you could probably waterproof it. Call a shoe repair shop and ask?

I just want sandals with the tongs that lace up my legs. I've seen them for men, but the ones I've seen for women are all gold or glittery or something. I just want plain.

I haven't done any research into what this whole thing is about, for I only browsed long enough to make one perception and be HIGHLY offended by it...

I cannot believe that you would pick ANYONE besides me to be Ares.

Ride down from Asgard to the battlefield,
Bringer of the valiant dead who died but never yielded,
Carry we who die in battle over land and sea,
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla,
Odin's waiting for me.

he he he... silly you... the gods didn't select us... we selected the gods...

Of course I am much more powerful than Persephone, in the greater scheme of tihngs... and I am sure Ares himself would have selected you!
