Burgundian Belt (brag)
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2006 11:24 am
Hey folks-
I just wanted to post this picture from the "Quest for the Golden Seamstress" event held recently here in the Midrealm. The event is a "from the skin out", "start with flat cloth and finish with an outfit" 18-hour sewing marathon. Teams are limited to 6 people plus the model, and our team got major props because I cast all the hardware on site during the event.
Our team produced a prize-winning Burgundian ladies outfit, complete with a decorated hennin and the (pictured) belt. For scale, the belt itself is 4" wide.

The hardware was cast in lead-free pewter (since I was casting indoors in a relatively crowded room). Masters were carved and constructed from basswood, with portions made of cording, wire, polymer clay etc, and the molds were made from RTV silicon rubber. I get my casting supplies from Castings, Inc.
