Welcome to Gaia! ::

Since all the previous picture threads have gone to the land of forgotten topics, I figured a sticky picture thread would be nice. Come out and show us your lovely faces, garb, friends, or anything else SCA related!

Well ... don't hang me! *cringes* But I still wear my corsets on the outside! sweatdrop

I'm in the process of working on my Turkish/Persian persona though. I've bought the material, but have yet to find the time to get it made. gonk


Fields of Gold two years ago (June)


Penguin Crusades last year (April)


Recieving the Blood of the Penguin award this past April, at the Penguin Crusades event.


Yes, I know - I've been in 3 years now, I REALLY should come up with better garb ... but I'm trying! sweatdrop (But I also like this garb ... It's fun ... But I don't always wear a bodice. This past event it was just easier to wear the chemise and skirt).

I like your hair, it's really interesting. Don't tell me it grew that way?
Also, is that embroidery down your garb? eek Real nice....

Yep, that's embroidery. I've been doing Celtic-style embroidery for about six years now and have 12 pieces of embroidered garb.

The hair is actually a wig that I found that has many, many braids. Since the literature tells us that Celtic women wore their hair in elaborate braids this seemed like a fun way to do it. And I thought the grey in it looked a bit as though it had been limed like the Celts were known to do.

Can you show us some other pieces? You're embroidery is amazing! heart

Wait was that in sterlynge vail? was that bards and bows or was that Barony wars?

No, that was in the Debatable Lands last Pennsic.
