That is funny. I’m more of an introvert, but I am one of those who don’t mind people, and want one or two close friends. That bleeds over into my characters a lot. =|

Hmm. I have an interesting range.

Zlatan in an introvert of sorts. He’s a very intense character who needs time alone but is also a strong leader.

Vulkasin is a complete extrovert, who has a thousand acquaintances and only a few close friends. (Somewhat due to circumstances)

Wilkins is an I. He needs one or two close friends, and a little time…[Read more]

It’s gorgeous! I can definitely see A’grend in my mind’s eye now.

Did you run it through some kind of painting filter?

@lightoverdarkness6 @felicity

So I was just reading through y’all’s conversation, and you talked so much about Sam and Frodo…

Ahhhh!!!! Those two are my absolute favorite favorite characters of LotR. Admittedly I’ve only read the books, but that means I have a closer appreciation for what the author intended, right?

Sam is so wonderful, and I…[Read more]

It’s beautiful, and slightly foreboding. I love it!

@felicity

Not a problem! And if you come across anything you’d like to share, I’m just a beginner myself so I’d appreciate it.

Battle for castle Itter. … it was a battle where American and Wehrmacht troops joined together to save high profile French prisoners from the Waffen-SS’ clutches.

Weren’t the Wehrmacht German?

I thought it was really interesting! And great story inspiration. XD

Absolutely! I’m intrigued.

Berga Concentration Camp.

That is i…[Read more]

I got all the links in, although I had to submit them one at a time.

@mineralizedwritings

*Gasp* In our world? I did not see that coming. =O XD

Pop in whenever you want! We all need to do research, even if it’s not needed. =)

This is brilliant, thank you for the invitation.

I do historical sewing too. As of right now, I’m working on a lower class southern civil war reproduction. I’m still in the base layers, unfortunately.

But after this I want to do some Saxon kirtles and mantles SO BADLY. However, I think my biggest, farthest away, sewing dream is some…[Read more]

The Historical Fabric Store

It’s not letting me drop the links. Ugh.

@felicity

Alright! It is now on my wishlist. =)

It is wonderful fun! I’d recommend starting with your base layers (chemise drawers, corset, petticoats…all the ‘unmentionables’), that way you can get a feel for how the patterns and fabric work without worrying about messing something up. The base layers will be covered, so if the sewing looks…[Read more]

Whoa. I haven’t done a lot of WWII research, but those make me want to stick my nose in there too.

Is this it?

@felicity

I’ll have to check that out! One kingdom in my current WIP is based off the Slavic nations. More Rus tribes then others at the moment as that’s where I’ve done more research, so I need to branch out.

Yes! I am working on my first actual kit, an American 1861 day dress (I have all but the dress itself and accessories done), but I love…[Read more]

@felicity

Oooo, that sounds amazing!

I’m currently researching the medieval Rud tribes, medieval Celt and Gaelic nations, modern militaries, and civil war dress. (The first three are for one series, the last for historical sewing)

However, I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday (what I can random research) and ended up with American Jewish…[Read more]

And now to invite some citizens of this kingdom.
