It was medieval-inspired costume-making day yesterday at bink's.
I made headdresses out of ladies' vintage gloves from the thrift store. The soft leather was a dream to work with. In process:
Inspired by this medieval illumination:
Sister made a gown inspired by writer Christine de Pisan (b. 1364):
And bink's girlette wanted to be Pestilence!
She turned out really scary (but they're just playing...):
Run away! Run away!
They all escaped and are just fine! (And that's a bag of bakery treats.)
My sister (in red) and I always have fun together on Doll Costume Day, with bink:
Mmm, bakery treats :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the costumes, I would never have thought to use old gloves. I really like the picture where they are sitting in autumn leaves.
Thanks, River!
ReplyDeleteThis just makes me happy! All brilliant, and a great way to spend a day!
ReplyDeleteEven Pestilence had lots of fun, without really spreading germs.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did I ever miss this magnificent post??? The costumes are amazing, love the gloves, and the perfect photo timing of leaves falling. Utterly cool these shots! Well done sewers of things!! BEAUTY!
