Persona Pentathalon
Jul. 8th, 2009 02:57 pmI'm starting to kick around ideas for this now, rather than later. Because what's a better idea than planning new arts and crafts projects when a new baby is scheduled to turn your life upside-down in November?
By far, my strengths are in Pentathlon Category V, Courtly Arts. I want to get my arms onto a small pennant like the ones in the Bayeux Tapestry (Heraldic Display). There's my "Wulf and Eadwacer" translation/performance (Poetry/Performance) and just oodles of poetry I could use.
I want to do a brocaded headband, which would either be Costume Accessories (Category II) or Weaving (Other) (Category IV). I'm (slowly) working on my calligraphy (Category I), which I could use to, say, write out some poetry. Very basically, I want to make at least one white linen underdress (Category II again). Not showy, but I might handsew it and I'll definitely finish the seams. I didn't know to do that on my first linen dresses, and now they're fraying apart in places.
Since I'm a rank novice in anything outside of poetry/music, I don't expect a great showing... but these are things I want to make anyway, so why not group them together as an entry?
