Meet my character at the Silver Leaf Renaissance Faire for the 2008 season! I play Princess Isabelle of Spain, who is engaged to Prince John (of the Robin Hood tale). Oh yeah, didn't I get the winner Hehehe, it's seriously fun though. This was the first weekend before I made a new hat (a pillbox) and before the additional beadwork on the forepart and bodice. I designed and made the whole gown, from underpinnings to overskirts, bodice, and the jewelry too! The only things here I didn't make are the hat (bought from The Grinning Griffin a few years ago) and the 3-strand pearl necklace.
To be fair, though he gets painted in quite a bad light in the legends, Prince John actually did quite a lot of good, and...well...actually RULED while his brother was off playing crusade. He was very well educated and was highly instrumental in the putting into effect of the Magna Carta. You didn't do too badly for yourself, missy. Sorry...my need to support historical underdogs has reared it's ugly head. Speaking of which, do you know how amazing Nicola Tesla was?
He had his goods and his bads; I guess it depends whose story you read of him
He definately played the baddie role while I was playing Princess though, heh. He and I (in character) had this whole hate-hate relationship going on, which was like a "I'll only put up with some of your antics in public, but once you're out of my sight, I will not hold back comment."
