“In the five-phase cosmology codified during the Han dynasty, yellow corresponded to tu (earth, the central element, the colour of the loess plateau where Chinese civilisation had taken root).

From there it was only a short step to claiming the colour for whichever family currently held the Mandate of Heaven.

The Sui and Tang courts established yellow as the imperial colour in the seventh century…”

I'm afraid I didn't take any good photos but I'm quite pleased with this tunic I made for my birthday party a few weeks ago #sewing #costuming #medieval

Debating going in to work on the weekend to spread out a fabric project all over the floor. I have more floor space at my office than home, and this fabric is 60 inches wide and 3 years long. I just need to place my pattern pieces so I know how to cut it. I can already tell I got at least half a yard too much, which is a blessing and a slightly expensive curse.

Context: I'm working on a costume for my partner, basically a loose long asymmetric vest. I'm following a kurta pattern, just not adding the sleeves. #Sewing #costuming #larp

so glad I had a final fitting because I found so many more things to fix or change. But I'm already very excited with the result...but dancing will be very interesting. #18thcentury #costuming

Just watching the September video from Earth, Wind, and Fire. Can we all just appreciate for a moment the wonderfully African and Afro-inspired costuming on display in this music video? Just take some time watching that one and enjoying the absolute celebration of African culture on display, there.
