Today is a rest day, getting myself back together after the Pryankster's first year at the Ardenwood Shakespeare Festival.  I'm not entirely certain of this was the first year for this festival or not, but it was certainly interesting.  Right as we were arriving or our first dance set of the Faire on Saturday, it began to rain.  This was just after we had decided that the stage we were assigned to dance on was unsound.  So we danced under the trees by the picnic tables.  Once the rains were gone for the weekend, we continued to dance there and kicked up a lot of dust.

This Faire didn't get as horrifically hot as others, partially due to it being September, but the humidity made the warm temperatures rather awful.  Sunday was better, but still very humid.  I think I'm starting to really prefer the Steampunk thing.

It seems that the Folsom Renaissance Faire is the one that gets all the Steampunk talk in the guildyard. Last year at it, an upcoming Steampunk party caught my ear when they mentioned wanting an Agatha at the party led to my revealing of the Agatha costume I was already working on. This year, one of my guildmates told me that she is working on a Mama Gkika costume. She hopes to have it done by Wonder Con, which will be very cool.

Currently, I am working on second costumes for the Steampunk convention coming up. I'm almost done, seeing as I gave myself a month to work on things instead of a week. I hope to have no last-minute sewing and buttons held on with safety pins this time.
