My first leatherwork! I sketched a stencil onto cardboard, cut and sewed everything by hand and did the chains and charms myself. I’m teaching myself so if you happen to have specific tips for beginners, I’d be happy to hear!

Contacts - options

Looking to get contacts that have cool colors / designs. Is that a thing? Where do I buy from? Plenty of options online, looking for those who have first hand experience.

Renfaires in CT?

I know it’s not the biggest location, but does anyone know good ren faires in CT? I’ll be in the state during the summer and not too familiar with the schedules or reviews/reputations of each faire. Hope this makes sense, thank you!

Going to Celtic weekend at the Colorado Ren Faire

And I really want to dress up as völva, or Norse seeress/witch. I know you can dress however you want at the Ren faire, but I also like fitting the themes. So would it make sense for Celtic weekend to wear a Norse themed outfit?

Are there any subreddits for posting RenFaire garb for sale? I have piles, time to thin it out a bit.

I have (used) shirts and pants I could part with and half-dozen pair of men's tights (new, homemade, with banana hammocks) I'd like to see find new homes.

GARF community groups?

Someone at GARF today was telling me about the online forum, but I lost the address of the website. Does anyone here know it by any chance?

Nottingham After Dark (Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire, Harwinton, CT)

Hi everyone! I love Renaissance Faires, and I plan on going to Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire this year for the first time. I saw one event they're hosting that may seem fun, Nottingham After Dark. Has anyone ever been? What's it like? Is it worth going on June 24th for that event?

Booby Dresses

My wife and I have looked all around for some of those dresses that make the women’s boobs look so nice and cannot find them. Does any one have links to good costumes? The wares of the local faires seem lacking.

Some friends recently published a Viking Age inspired cookbook

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6VV2LTX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NMRCZ649L46D&keywords=modern+Urban+Viking+Cooking&qid=1685806059&sprefix=modern+urban+viking+cooking%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1

"The big struggle with Viking cuisine was that they didn't appear to write any of it down. All we have is a "food shed", a sort of grocery list."

Looking for outfit

Hello, does anyone know a good place to look for an outfit like this? I might just be dumb but I can’t seem to find something quite like this anywhere I’m looking. Pretty new to Ren Fair stuff. Thank you.

First ren faire advice (WV)

Hi! My wife and I will be going to the West Virginia Faire and I’d love some helpful advice. Any and all is appreciated. I would like to know how early we should get there? We are a 2 hour drive. How bad is parking and admissions if we got there right at 11?

Thank you!

In search of 2 tickets to the Oregon Ren Faire tomorrow, June 3rd 2023

Probably a long shot, but it’s my husbands birthday tomorrow and this was the only thing he wanted.

Looking for 2 tickets for Oregon Ren Faire June 10th

Went to buy two tickets for opening weekend and they were sold out! Please comment if you’re reselling, would really love to attend this with some friends visiting in town (who purchased their tickets months ago as I should have done)
