Sorry for bombarding everyone with so many CalR updates. I have one more for you though!
I’m going to try something new if I can get around to it quickly enough — it may take some time before I have everything updated. I’ve noticed sometimes photos don’t really show enough. They miss certain details. Since I have a YouTube channel and video cameras, I figured… why not?
I made a video for the CalR. It’s nothing special, but it does show some motion. I didn’t get closeup shots, and the glaring white fabric is hard to make out some details. It does give you an idea though. I’ve created a “Costume Videos” page in the Image Gallery section. I will also put any of these videos on the costume’s page itself.
Here is the CalR video. I hope it gives you a little better feel for the fabric:
I finished a purse/reticule yesterday, but sadly wasn’t very happy with it. I have it in case I need to carry some items, but it will probably take some time to get it online.
About Cynthia Griffith
I have way too many interests and hobbies, and continually cycle through them -- paying attention to some, while others wait for when I can get around to them again.
My main interests are sewing and costuming (I enjoy historical clothing, such as 18th and 19th century, as well as fantasy costumes like elves and hopefully someday even dwarves), as well as getting back to art by drawing fan art of Thorin Oakenshield and Company.
My husband Christopher and I spend a lot of time together, enjoying the outdoors and shared hobbies such as juggling. This blog and website is my way to share what I'm up to with friends and family.
@Merja: Thanks! I’ve wanted to do more with video for so long. It’s fun to play with footage and see what you can make. I love that park, too, especially early when no one else is there. I have another pretty place in mind for photos and videos, and am hoping to hold a small, private picnic there next year.
So nice. I did find myself wanting to walk behind you and pick up the back of the dress 🙂 I especially liked when you were at the koi pond and turned around to look at the camera, and when you were running. Very playful and fun.
@Mary: Believe it or not, there are only a few slight stains on the hemline, so I lucked out! I have to admit, having a white train does still make me nervous, but it is rather fun. I’m not sure why I was so obsessed with running around so much, but I did it a lot that morning. I guess because it’s such a playful outfit? Who knows! 🙂

A note about my historical accuracy (I am not a re-enactor).
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing. You look gorgeous! Beautiful park too.

Beautiful, inspirational video, thanks for sharing.
