LARP and Feathers

[shazrasha]

So I was chatting to midnightoak about her impending trip to Maelstroem over the weekend and was practically bullied into saying that I would come to one such event. Ok I admitt the bullying was very gentle as well "I want it 'cause I'm weak".

Now the event in question that she is going to takes place over the weekend of the 14th-16th April which is at the same time as K's birthday. So colour me surprised when K said that I was allowed to go, thereby missing her birthday entirely! I will be making it up to her but won't mention how here as I want it to be a surprise.

Anyway due to this I now have one month to make my outfit and fit into the idea of a race that they have supplied me. So I am now having random crafty ideas and have a shopping list that includes:

Feathers, mask, linen, boots/boot tops, wire for the papier mache beak, leather for random things, PVA glue and all of it black!! Well not the PVA but you get the idea.

So queue some interesting workarounds as I try to incorporate my glasses into all this (I'm not blind as a bat but more comfortable to my eyes to wear them), and try to make sure I don't broil.
Long sleeves + April + Sun + Black + Me = Broiled. I'll think of something.

Here's fingers crossed that it all goes to plan.

Aha! Jag borde skriva på engelska för att öva mig men jag börjar så här på svenska. Nu hittade jag den! Hoppas det går bra för det med att sy. Jag skulle också vilja sy. Jag har fått en symaskin så det är bara inspirationen som fattas.

Tokigt att lajvningen med Linette kommer krocka med K's födelsedag men det var ju tur att hon inte hade något emot det.

Hoppas detta fungerar :)
