Loose threads

The theme this time was fairly straight-forward: "Pick any previous challenge and re-do it (or do it for the first time).  It could be one that you didn’t finish, one that you wish you’d had more time for, or any time for, or one where you loved the theme so much you want to do it again."

 

It gives infinate possibilities, right? So much to do, so little time! And still, the results are mostly the things that I whipped together as the final details for the last challenge, so here goes.

 

 

The organiser of the larp pointed out in the last minute that mourning attire for close relatives and such included a veil for the ladies. To the best of my knowledge, I wouldn't need one - but I certainly didn't trust the organisers not to send me bad news during the actual game. I admire them for it, they do keep us on our toes, but still. I needed a plan B. So I looked through the fabric stash and found a dreadful polyester organza I bought for uhm... something long ago, and got started. I made it simple: rounded the back edges and hemmed them by hand, and made the front hem broader. I then found left-over rocailles from long ago, as well as glass pearls left over from the original Tops and toes project, and voilà - a mourning veil.
