Largo Fl. 1980. This is the headdress that launched my career. It had begun a couple of weeks earlier when I had been playing with a new belt I had just designed (a Full drape, it's still a winner) and had placed it on my knee and I thought "that hangs nice and the knee is shaped like a head ....I wonder.... so I go to the mirror and hold this belt up to my head and I think COOL I got to try a headdress. So I work two weeks and I got this thing close and bring it to faire. for a day and a half I try it on everyone I can catch making little adjustments with each one. Finally I try it on this woman and I declare it done. She had tried it earlier in the day and she say's great! How much? I'm caught totally unprepared and didn't know what to say. So her husband hands me a hundred dollar bill and they leave me still speechless while they argue over who's office it's to be displayed in when they get back to N.Y. I think they were architects but I'm not sure. The next revolution can a couple years later when I finally stopped resisting the use of elastic and started making headbands as a more affordable and versatile alternative.

Masks, coifs and Helena's

Karen and her sister Linda are regulars at the Texas Ren. Fest.. Here she wears a "Evening" coif ($110) and a pair of Valkyrie Cups with my one of a kind RED outfit. Going through these pictures and remembering all the fun I've had with this outfit I think I'll remove it from sale. Then I'll always have it around for dressing the appropriate model. You may be her!

This is Lari, one of a pair of identical twins. She lived in Mn and her sister lived in Fl. I tried for years to get together with both at the same time for pictures. I failed. She wears a Byzantine with drape ($150). When I get my negative scanner I am positive I'll locate some great shots of them individually.

Jan Flowers of Tampa wears another first of a kind. This is the first Byzantine.

Two tone.
