While we're waiting for Godot...

I got a tip the other day, about using my blog to tell the world about my various projects, with this in mind i just have to put down this amazing discovery I made today. I was passing by this stand in the shopping scenter where they sell Pashminas when I cought a glimpse of embroidery on one of them. And yes, they had black wool/silk pashminas with baroque-inspired floral embroidery. Wonderful. I am thinking of purchasing one of them and turn it into a waistcoat to match the 18th century overcoat I'm making for Stig. The ensemble would look a bit like the outfit Blackadder wears in the third series. Just need to check it with Stig first, to see if he would want to wear it. The fabric is quite loosly wowen and delicate, so I'm thinking of flat-lining it with a light but sturdy cotton canvas.

For those of you who're aching to see the dress, It's still not completely done, but I've taken pictures and will post them on the blog as soon as possible.

The art/costume project with Eoin Llewellyn has come to a stand still. I'm still waiting for the dress form I need to complete it. For those of you that hasn't been let in on it, it will consist of a hoop-skirt replica and a loose fitting bodice, tainted to look old.
