jimpretzerHaving to work half a day on Saturday isn't great, but teaching went well and in the other half of the day I was able to work out a pattern for hardened leather gauntlets (for cut-and-thrust swordplay) and I got the first one made. It fits well, looks cool, and I think I'll be able to handle a sword while wearing it. We'll see once it dries completely and I get the other one made.
On the sword-fighting front, B is giving rapier a try and is having fun with it. Watch out kids, Mom's armed and dangerous.
We're also getting costumes together for a murder mystery set in 1900's Paris. I found a tuxedo in a thrift shop cheap and B found a black lace dress with a fringe that goes great with her red feather boa.
Too bad we have to spend time earning a living, playing is more fun.
