Beautiful Ryung

4/22/2013

 
I'm almost finished the SD-size Celtic Maiden costume, and I'm really liking the navy blue and brown combination. I originally bought the brown tartan with the intention of making a "Braveheart" outfit for Tedros, but decided it would look very nice with the navy blue for this costume too. I just need to add the beads and feathers to her bag, and replace her bright red shiny Mary Janes for some rugged boots, and she'll be all ready for photos.

Today is "Earth Day", and up until today I had every intention of skipping it.  But then I started thinking about who had the most respect for the Earth, and I thought "First Nations" people. They lived harmoniously with the environment. So I thought, now that I'm working on jewelry today, beading necklaces and hairbands, I could also finally make the hair-pipe breast-plate for Byuri's "Little Bluebird" Cheyenne regalia. On our fall trip she borrowed the necklaces from her "Little Beaver" Northwest Coast regalia, but each outfit should have it's own accessories, and I bought the hair-pipe beads at a trading post on the way home just for that purpose. Of course, it won't be done in time to take photos for today, plus the bright blue cloudless sky is not conducive to taking photos where I want to anyways, so it will just have to be after the fact.

I love the photos of your dolls. They are beautiful, and I especially liked the photos of the coast of Oregon. Brings back memories of seeing them with my late husband.

Thank you for sharing these photos of your beautiful dolls and costumes.

What size knitting needles do you use for the chainmail?

It says size 14, made in England. They are quite thin.
