Thanks and Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------- Topics: Biography About MedievalNet --------------------------------- Date: Mon, 6 Dec 93 16:04:58 -0800 From: bino@ella.mills.edu (Kendra VanCleave) Subject: another bio okay, i'm going to add my bio: my name is Kendra Van Cleave. i'm a sophmore at mills college (oakland, ca). i've been interested in historical costuming since i was about 16. i started out with the usual altering of modern patterns, etc., and have since started researching and designing my own costumes. my principle periods of interest are elizabethan england, victorian england, and californio (19th c. california). recently, i have become interested in roccoco france, late 18th c. rural new england, and late 19th c. america. i work at the northern renaissance faire, and have made numerous elizabethan costumes for myself and others there. aside from actual costuming, my main interest is in historical dance (mainly elizabethan country dance, and victorian ballroom, but i would like to expand that). i probably won't post much, just lurk here. :) -kendra ---------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1993 8:18:19 -0700 (MST) From: WITHERSPOON@SUU.EDU (RHIANWEN) To: h-costume@andrew.cmu.edu Greetings to Diane Close and the other members of this news list! I am known mundanely as Tonie Witherspoon, and in the SCA as Lady Rhianwen Morgaine ferch Aelhaearn. I've been playing in the SCA off and on for nearly 20 years now, starting in the Barony of Caerthe, and ending up here in what used to be known as the Shire of Kedron Vale (Cedar City, Utah) My persona is 14th century Welsh, and I have a penchant for early Tudor costumes, and Middle Eastern garb ... At any rate, sorry, Diane, for taking so long to get on here... between work and my network addiction, I've been pretty tied up :) For those of you in the SCA, I'd like to introduce you to MedievalNet. This is a Fido-compatible network of some 80 systems across the U.S. and Sweden, that caters to discussions relating to medieval re-creations. There are separate echos available for Costuming, general Arts & Sciences, Calligraphy and Illumination, Brewing, Winemaking, Fighting, Armoring and Weaponry, and SCA-related discussions. I am currently copying some of the pertinent messages in this news list into the MedievalNet Costuming echo (thanks Diane!), but would like to see more interactive message traffic there... MedievalNet is a fledgling net, but is growing quickly, and message traffic is starting to look great! To access MedievalNet, you need a PC with a modem, a terminal program, and the phone number of the nearest bulletin board system that carries the net. The first two you need to provide yourself. I can set you up with the term program (if you don't have one), and the phone number for a MedievalNet system near you. All you have to do is e-mail me at witherspoon@cc.suu.edu... Thanks again, Diane, for running this wonderful news list!
