Silly shoes!

A quick post to show off a photo from Bunch o' Classes. Blayney, Katje and I all went Roman for the feast in the evening. Katje took this photo of our shoes. The white ones are my mark II calcei. The brown ones are Blayney's calligae. The blue ones are Katje's cut-work calcei.

There was somewhat of a Roman invasion at the Ursulan Feast.

Above is Annabel, Blayney, myself, Katje, Gui and Aelflaed. I'm wearing my new purple peplos. It didn't turn out too bad. I am being rather bloody-minded in making it with the overfolds in the correct places, which has the side-effect of making one look rather blocky, but that is the way it is meant to look.

I taught a class on Roman costume at BOC. By most reports it went well (always a bit hard to tell when you're teaching). I have notes in pdf that I'll probably get around to putting on a website somewhere. This means I've now taught two A&S classes this year (the other being on heraldic display), which I consider part of the whole A&S process (nothing cements understanding in your own mind better than trying to explain it to someone else).
