Saturday Fun Pics -- Renaissance Faire photos
Sorry I'm posting so late. I'm determined to finish Chapter 25 of The Trouble With Demons today, and the photo scanner was giving Derek fits. The photos below are from about five years ago when our Renaissance fencing group "The Ship's Company" was performing at a local Renaissance Faire. Enjoy!
This is me in the middle of a bout, in defensive mode, parrying, and backing the hell up. Wes is probably coming after me. ; )
Our coach Wes Caudill (in the black hat) is using Derek to help demonstrate the finer points of a duel.
Wes, me, and Derek between shows.
Derek and I have just finished a bout, and we're taking a break on the edge of the fighting field, enjoying watching our friends kick each others' butts.

Coming up beginning on Monday: For those of you who are on the verge of getting an agent, or signing that first publishing contract, I'm going to take a few days to cover the what's involved once you start working with your editor, and what you can expect during the editing process. I'll be using snippets from my editor's "editorial letter" for Magic Lost, Trouble Found.

David and I were huge Renaissance Festival fans back in Michigan. We went every year. Still have a few posters and mugs around with the motto: Let the pleasures of the past be present. It was always a blast.
I loved the pics of you: Armed & Costumed. :) Thanks for posting.
LOL! "Armed & Costumed" -- I love it. ; )
Love the pics! I`ve always thought that fencing was very cool and looked like a lot of fun. I`ve been meaning to look into lessons, but just haven't had the time.
It is a ton of fun, but it does take commitment and time -- and with my writing, unfortuantely I don't have the time right now. So Derek is the fencer in the family at the moment. ; )
I just want to design and sew the really cool costumes.
:o)
A lady in our church made mine and Derek's doublets. I made my pants and cape (with help from my fabulously talented mother-in-law). All of our leather (baldrics, belts, scabbards) were made by a local who does beautiful leatherwork. Unfortunately the photos don't give a good view of any of it.
I want to learn how to do leather and metal too. Have you ever been to the Lord of the Rings costuming site? They have instructions on all that and it is sooo cool!

Wow, that is a cool site!
