Creating a look for a character is one of my favorite things about gaming. For me it is also a vital part of bringing that character to life. The right clothes can completely change the way you carry yourself and when your trying to bring a unique personality to life this can mean everything. Just like costumes in a play help not only the actors, but the audience, connect to the characters they change the way you and other people approach your character.
This doesn't mean your going to always be wearing an extravagant ball gown or Victorian frock coat. Often it's just everyday clothes. It's how you wear them and accessorize them that make the biggest difference. Most of what I wear to an everyday game are dresses or outfits I've got hanging in my closet, but for big games like conventions I want to look my very best. That is when I put scissors to fabric and try to create one-of-a-kind pieces to wear.
Since my first attempt at this blog was a bit of a failure I've decided to take it in this new direction. It will chronicle both the process of creating a look for certain characters as well as those sewing projects I take on. I imagine this will get updates much more regularly since it is something I enjoy very much and I already have a new project to start working on that needs to be ready for next week.
Stay tuned for the creation of The Snow Queen, an icy look that will be worn by Anat to the Longest Night's Ball.
Enjoy!
