Now, though, I do not. Instead, such clothing is my normal attire. ;) (I have to do <i>something</i> with the things I make for practice! :) ) Except, I do not have a cloak. :( Well, I do, in a manner of speaking. But it's not a real cloak, thin and impractical. (also needs to be shortened... dragging two inches on the floor, it is a tripping hazard) If&nbsp; you can wear your cloak, you're doing good! :) </p> <p>I wonder if anyone would trade books for clothing... hmmmm! (not like I would have the time or ability to make such clothes, but still, it's an idea...) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/16#post-4975 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:37:34 +0000 Pip 4975@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Hallelujah for Medieval clothing! Your costume sounds beautiful, Amanda K.! I used to dress up a lot with Medieval-style clothing, but there's rarely any time for that nowadays. I do have a black cloak (sloppily made because I did it myself) that I wear a lot in winter. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/16#post-4946 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:23:14 +0000 Amanda Lynn Kondrael 4946@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I'm bored and very hot, and we're under a tornado watch. Fun, fun fun. Seriously. :) <br />Anyway, here's a bit of randomness that should fit this thread: I made a full medieval outfit last week. That is, finished it last week. Ankle-length, full skirt, poet shirt, and bodice. My avatar is the drawing I did for it. (fyi, I'm trying to be a costume designer. I didn't make this outfit's pattern, but I did do a costume drawing beforehand and it turned out that the two looked very similar. :) ) Oh yes, I made a pair of bracers too, but those were for my brother Dieki Kondrael (username), not me. :)</p> <p>Anyone else here like to sew/ wear medieval outfits on a regular basis? </p> <p>Your story sounds interesting, Pip. :) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/15#post-4910 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 13:32:40 +0000 Pip 4910@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Ha, loaded question. People ask me that and my mind goes blank.<br />Ah...it's a departure from the "epic" fantasy/spiritual thriller type of things I've been doing. It's sort of a Southern Gothic fiction thing (Southern Gothic is a sub-genre Harper Lee coined with her "To Kill a Mockingbird", basically revealing stereotypes for what they are with the story set in the South). A blend of that and psychodrama (another sub-genre). I rather break rules with genre in my pieces. :-P<br />Happy Father's Day to you men out working in your garages; you see your kids running down the stairs at breakneck speed, precariously skidding to a halt beside those old bookshelves you put up last year for the overflow of literature, and you watch in open-mouthed wonder as your kids grab books off those dusty shelves, books you bought at flea markets and never figured anyone would read them. Thus is the fate of those fathers whose children are legal bookworms. It is never boring. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/15#post-4892 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 07:55:06 +0000 Melody Kondrael 4892@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>What kind of book are you writing, Pip? </p> <p>(I'm doing development on a sci-fi/fantasy kind-of-epic, attempting to pin down a label for genre...haha) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/15#post-4886 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:39:36 +0000 Jordan 4886@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Randomness: *Has watched the VDT trailer seven times* :-P </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/15#post-4879 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:36:37 +0000 Alassiel 4879@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I'm supposed to be making a treasure hunt for my brother's birthday on Saturday, but I've been wasting time all day.&nbsp; I'm sorta uninspired, with a buncha half-ideas.&nbsp; I really need to get away from the computer (and stop watching the Narnia trailer over and over again!) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/the-inconspicuous-off-topic-thread/page/15#post-4855 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:31:31 +0000 Pip 4855@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Notice the diminished length of posts here as people are fanning themselves with those pages. *cackles* I shall adhere.<br />Volunteering at the library now.
