Disenjangle (VERB):
The process of stripping your belt of favors, pouches, bells, tokens, drinking vessels, weapons, etc before visiting the toilet. Necessary to avoid piddling on one’s accessories while wearing garb.
I’ve been working on a Landsknect kit for my kender-character, Ilsa. I made this stupid hat for Hearthlight’s Siege of the Azure Castle, so every photo of me from this event is me grinning like mad because I’m so pleased with it. :D
It actually lasted throughout a whole day of fighting in the field and woods! At the end of the day, during the ladies’ tournament, Aella Greywolf flicked it off my head, and you could HEAR the crowd go “ooooh.”

Because it is like, the worst.
OKAY, SO THIS IS EXCELLENT REAL TALK. Let’s also add:
- If you’re on hormonal birth control pills, and you have an upcoming event that coincides with a placebo week and thus a period, you can SKIP YOUR PERIOD by just starting your new pill pack early. You go straight from week 3 of your active pills in your old pill pack to week 1 of your new pill pack. You might have to ask your pharmacist to refill your prescription early, but it’s TOTALLY WORTH IT. Here are more detailed instructions!
- If you’re caught with cramps while you’re out camping, fill a hard-sided water bottle with hot water for an ad hoc heating pad. (You can use this same method to sleep warm during cold-weather campouts– water holds heat for a LONG time!) Just make sure your bottle has a sturdy, trustworthy lid, so you don’t drench your sleeping bag or clothes! I use a big 32 oz Nalgene, and it works perfectly.
- Build yourself a Bag of Necessity! This is just a little kit of things I often desperately need but always forget, all stored together in a waterproof container. Mine is a quart-sized Ziplock that fits into my in-character shoulder bag. It contains many small necessities (hair ties, bandaids, gum, etc), but for uterus-emergencies, the relevant items are:
- a tampon
- a pad
- hand sanitizer
- ibuprofen, and
- chewy ginger candies for nausea.
Fighting while being on your period isn’t enormous fun, but it doesn’t have to be awful. Do your best to be prepared, and help your fellow uterus-havers out!
Very tired But love my new Warden Armor so much

January feels like 5 years ago
Here is a little project I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: a small, painted belt shield (from Mytholon). I wanted to do this as a test to see how I would go painting on steel, and to add an accessory to my kit with IC symbolism.
I tried to take a picture at pretty much every stage. First I made sure the steel was clean of any dirt or oil, then I primed it using a matte grey etch primer. I drew the design on using grey lead pencil and painted it using regular acrylic paint. To finish it off I spray coated it a few times with a clear, satin sealer (I might spray it a few more times to be safe), and this is how it turned out!
I have to say, I even surprised myself a little bit with how well the hand turned out, and I’m really happy with it!

Red belt: Make You Own Medieval
Leather satchel: Commissioned by Longbourne Leatherworks
Pretty much everything else made by me
Last week I had to stay home sick from work and I figured, when is there a better time to work on a new project?? So behold, a short renaissance houppelande with scalloped dagging on the sleeves. It’s made from blue wool, purple upholstery velvet and lined with a black and blue floral brocade. I also think the little square buttons are super cute. I only wish I had about 10 more to add to it.
All up this project took me about 11 hours to make and it’s probably the most professional looking thing I’ve ever produced. Needless to say, I’m a bit proud of myself.
Also, bonus blue leather belt with hand stamping and renaissance buckle and decorated hat, both of which I made the weekend before. I’m so happy to be feeling inspired enough to make things again!
A few weeks ago at Swordcraft I ran with The Blades of the North, a Norse inspired warband. I finally got a good chance to pick up my bow and arrows again as well as play around with a Calimacil Dane Axe. Needless to say, it was a LOT of fun.
I made the blue dress and dark blue hood in a bit of a rush, but the rest of the outfit is made up of some awesome stuff from Mytholon:
Underdress: Alina Undergarment in Cream
Brown dress:Leandra dress
Leather Bodice: Isolde bodice floral
Also,

Because @samanthalarps tagged me, here is Riada and me! Well, the many faces of me. I never look the same. Some days I’m just in jeans and a t-shirt and other days I’m uber feminine. Kinda of like my @twin_mask_larp character Riada……kind of? Riada and I are very similar, except Riada is my permission to amplify certain parts of my personality.

Looking back….
I spend so much time in these rocks as a kid but only last autumn managed to return there to take pictures. I do not feel as if I made the best use of the Location, so obviously I need to do it again. Also, never try to be a photographer while wearing all that armor…
Mornienna took the photo.

Would you stand before these gates as a friend, or as an enemy?
It is an immense team effort by the Lager der Elben construction team to put this stockade into place for each Epic Empires. The modules have to be carried to the location and assembled there, and after the event, they are again disassembled and carried to their storage location. My part in this was very small: During the original planning phase I gave feedback and Ideas to how it looks from the outside and what it should support gameplay-wise: Limited cover for defending archers and plenty of space where enemies can try to climb the wall.

During her early years of travel, Elrian would wander the mortal lands as a harpist, gathering stories while searching for remnants of a specific tale: The history of her people’s last queen, who was lost long ago. Elrian had recently inherited her sword and her harp and now was confidents she could unveil all these mysteries. She found very little that was of help, however, and eventually joined the Mithrennas, the guards guarding Lindornëa.

I kind of ended up researching elvish belt shapes. There were more than I thought.
None of these Designs are designed. I just collected them. Maybe it will help some of your guys out here with designing your elven costumes.
