want to be a Viking?
Apr. 18th, 2008 08:52 amSince I'm not entirely sure when we'll get a chance to get photos of my new lovely, here's a link to where you can purchase one of your own. Downwood's employee discount is a wonderful thing, which is pretty much the only reason that I have one.
Those who have seen this sword in person know that I speak truth when I say it was designed for hewing through peasants. I could conquer England with this sword.
My problem now? I don't have a thing to wear with it.
Victaar was helping me look up traditional Viking (11th century) clothing last night. I'm leaning towards just making a man's outfit, since the female clothing would not go with the sword at all. I'm also leaning toward something mostly historically accurate instead of going with a Hollywood Valkyrie ensemble.
I'm kind of excited about learning about a new time period and making the garb, but I'm also a little intimidated. It's probably a good thing that I already have four projects lined up and ready to go - if I was jumping right into this, I think I might get in over my head.
