Oh, and you can make fabulous jewelry using cardboard. Use hot melt to make different areas/filigree, spray with gold paint, then glue on plastic jewels-- the larger, the better. Makes a very good chunky, early Renaissance look.

Dear H-cost list I have to make 20 costumes for an upcoming Italian renaissance performance and have been thinking about using http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/products/rh509-1470s-1500-florentine-wo mans-outfit-1#. Can you think of different ways we can decorate these gowns so they don't all look the same? Plus they need to look grand because we will be on stage under lights. I am still working out what to dress the men in, and fear they will not want to wear short doublets and tights :(( *Aylwen* * * *Aylwen's Historical Costumes* www.aylwen.com http://aylwen.blogspot.com * * *Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy* www.earthlydelights.com.au http://edhda.eventbrite.com * * _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
