consists of a back and front view of the gown, with the background
being a lightened version of the fabric with a portion of the beaded
design layed out on it. I created this gown last December for a
feast our local re-enactment group was hosting. I didn't add any
beads, however, until this past March (2004), when I had to attend
another feast hosted by the sister group to ours. This Halloween, I
plan on wearing it to our office party. |
