Zoom class: I demonstrate a no-to-low heat method of making a basic traditional mead with minimal ingredients (honey, water, and yeast). I make a huge mess and talk about other tools, projects, and answer questions.

Or as we started to refer to it in our ground crew: "Elevation: The Movie!" Ceremony and regalia are based on the investiture of a zoste patrikia/girded lady patrician from De Cerimoniis, 10th Century. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the Kingdom of Trimaris, her Peers, and her Royalty who bestowed me with this great honor. I will be making blog posts regarding my ceremony, garments, and jewe...

A full tutorial showing the different stages of silk painting from resist, painting, and shading. Sizes of the banners were 30x30" 8mm silk habotai. I forgot to talk about how to finish the banner, so I entered a slide with instructions. This tutorial is warts and all, I talk about my mistakes and ways to fix them. There is some unfortunate background profanity from the television when we forge...

A recorded Zoom class for Trimaris Royal University 2020 wherein I geek over some of recent projects regarding the research and execution of Hittite garments. This research is super-new, so please bear with me while I iron out the details more fully. My full write-up and pictures of me wearing the garments will be posted here in a few days (as of 6-20-20): annasrome.com/hittite-clothing/

*Warning: Contains some flashing effects* Because one obnoxious video wasn't enough. I had another wardrobe to tap into, even if two ensembles were my husband's tunicae. This one is more dark and less "fun", but still silly. Song is "I, Caligula" by Ex Deo, it's theirs, not mine. This is just a fan production as part of the SCA's dance off series in continuation of my "Byzantine in Quarantine" ...

Watch out, the chubby, aging goth chicks are at it again. When you have $$$ in garb you can't wear, what else do you do? Industrial dance. Badly. On purpose. Song is "Zombienation V.2K5" by Grendel. Just my contribution to the madness that some friends are doing right now. Visit my site at www.annasrome.com to learn more about what I'm wearing.

A few examples from my closet on this particular style of garment, and how it can be executed.

Say, what do you do when you're about to face a neckline with high contrasting colors and want to feel helpful? THIS! Including mistakes! This was an entirely unplanned, on a whim video that is probably more bumbling idiocity than helpful. I do plan to follow up with a look at the finished product in another video, so you can see I am completely capable of sewing something decent looking and no...

Here's my entire session of working on an icon of the Archangel Michael, over the course of 7 days in July 2019. This is 10 minutes long, and condenses down a lot of hours. Two songs are used as the background: "Genesis" by VNV Nation and "Kyrie" by Mister Mister. I own neither of these tracks. Check out more of my work at www.annasrome.com

Final Day! Devoted solely to tightening up the details, and putting down the inscriptions. I had a bit of a hard time in there and had to "erase" with paint. But it's done! Song is "Cry Little Sister" by Gerard McMann. Again, don't own any of these songs, I just wanted a background for the timelapse.

This was a long day. I finished most of the details on the body of the figure, and focused on building the background and border. This is a collection of three separate painting sessions in one day because I needed breaks from the monotony of it. Song is "One Roman Choir" by Kiethevez. At least a bit more, uh, appropriate. www.annasrome.com
