| Show
Schedule 2006 |
|
| For the last 17 years I have focused mostly on Renaissance and Victorian themed shows and limited my designs to those styles. These events demand thousands of hours and thousands of dollars to create elaborate but temporary booths, costumes and atmospheres. I considered that effort part of my art, although I received no monetary reward for the costly investment. The satisfaction of being part of the magic and the appreciation for my work were adequate reward for the large investments and restrictions placed on all craftspeople by these shows. But things change, and the people connected with many of those events have lost their honesty and integrity of late. The magic is fading and the once lofty goals have been replaced by ego and greed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being in business to make money, but if that is the only goal then it is foolish to squander so much time, energy and money on building “villages” and donating money and supplies to the show producers rather than putting those resources into my artwork. When the costs of doing business outweigh the returns, and those that you are making charitable contributions to are unappreciative, it is time to move on. This year my show schedule will be very limited. I will be using the year to consider the stack of alternate art show invitations on my desk, pursue some designs I have been unable to consider in the past and get back to work on my Master’s. We will be working on the website a bit and may add another show or two later. We are pleased to begin working with Dark Garden Corsetry and providing matching masks and accessories. Visit our info page here or from our mask or clothing pages. Period accessories are still available by request and I will continue to do a few themed events whose producers have maintained a reasonable balance between requirements and rewards. You may write, call or email with requests. I am proud to have been the first designer of
fans, hatpins and other accessories on the faire circuit, and
I am sure there will be many more “firsts” to come.
Look for them here! |

| Ordering
Information |
|
| Most
of my merchandise is one-of-a-kind, individually hand made and
available for a limited time. During the llast few years, the
business got so big and sales demanded so much time that I stopped
enjoying the creative process. I have decided limit products
to smaller lines and custom orders. Some items, such as Bawdy
Dusters and items in the “Currently Available” sections
may be ordered and shipped within two weeks. Items that must
be constructed upon order or are being made-to-order will take
longer. Choose from currently available items, design your own
or allow me to design something for you! There is never any
extra charge for custom orders.
I accept orders by phone, mail or email. Orders can be placed and payment may be mailed in the form of a check, Money Order or you may use the credit card payment form and fax it to 323.372.1630. Please allow 2 weeks processing for personal checks, 6-8 weeks minimum for custom orders. I do not ship C.O.D.
