Costumes

This Spring Break, the Reads worked on designing and sewing costumes.

Here are some designs in pen-and-ink and watercolor that I drew and painted (click the images for a larger view):

Note: I referred to the guys' linen undershirts as "chemises" because I thought I saw a particular guy's medieval costume on the internet refer to it as that. Perhaps in Medieval days men and women's shirts were both referred to as that, but I found that nowadays it's generally referred to for only women's shirts. Sorry for the blunder, guys! :-)

The cast of characters is currently as follows:

Jasyar...Joseph Read.
Young Jasyar......David Read
Kinco...David Abbott
Sarkov...Andrew Abbott
Eleanor...Rachel Read
Adela...Angela Abbott
Colette...Abigail Read
Cecily...Mary Read
Constance...Amanda Read

(The black suede will be for the guys' arm bands, and the chain part of Sarkov's costume)
