- IN WHICH our intrepid recreatrix takes on a last minute commission, makes another Londinium Hood (with modifications this time), uses her Silhouette Cameo to create stencils, and runs around in slow-mo wearing antlers. Yes, it's time for another Amtgard project!

I cannot stress how much I love this hood. Elen, you are spectacular talent and a wonderful friend.
Also that tea sounds marvelous.
Harollllllld I love youuuuuuuu (and the tea is really fantastic)
The stencil was cool, but man your line work was amazing!!
Thanks it’s the RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE fine arts degree I have lol
You are not wrong! Geez! I have RA and even with a million years I could never get such clean lines!
1. That hood is both brilliant and hilarious.
2. Continuing your streak of top-tier reveals, I see!
I tell you what I have been on a hyperfocus binge since getting this new camera and I can feel my skills leveling up due to all the educational content I’ve been consuming.
I cannot express how sorry I am for how complex the "phoenix" was. I was doing it for the award scroll, and it kinda snowballed. My god it turned out fabulous on the hood in the end! It was spectacular to see them receive it!
Why? It was the PERFECT subject to see if this technique worked. And it did!
Ooooo the idea of a lightweight unlined hood did not occur to me....that looks PERFECT for hot weather sun deflection instead of warmth/winter.....😮❤🎉
Right? I have winter hoods (for keeping warmth in) and summer hoods (for keeping warmth out).
Aah! I adore the use of a pokemon! As per always, this turned out absolutely stellar! Keep being you, our dear Croissant Captain!
Aw thank you crow!
That is one fun hood. Love the stencil secret. It is so crisp.
Thank you! I’ve been using freezer paper for ages but the cameo just makes it soooo much quicker
That’s a pretty brilliant way to make a complicated stencil! I’m very impressed, and your freehand painting at the end is amazing!
Thank you! I actually have a BFA in art and I draw a lot (it just isn’t in the scope of the channel so I don’t show it).
@@OpusElenae Oh that’s awesome! I have a background in drawing too (no BFA, just a lot of hours, lol). That might be fun to bring in to the channel occasionally; I’d enjoy it at least! I’m sure you know how to run it best though 😊
@@sarahallegra6239 The scribal stuff I’ve done on the channel has historically performed HORRIBLY so I don’t tend to do it a lot. People just want clothes lol.
That hood's so fun! Not gonna lie, you pulled out that clear ball and I was half expecting a Labyrinth/Bowie joke...just shows where my mind goes 😂
I love that belt you're wearing in the reveal!
Fun fact: I spent six months trying to teach myself to contact juggle. Turns out I’m just as bad at that as normal juggling.
In which our intrepid recreatrix ponders her orb in the reveal! (referencing the wizard “pondering my orb” image for today’s lucky 10,000)
I love the end result! Thank you for the stencil tutorial. To help you gain time in the color separation in Photoshop, in the Select menu, you can click Similar to select all the things in the same color at the same time.
Thanks
That was aneat trick with the paper. The hood looks great.
Thank you!
Glad I refreshed myself on this video, my friend and I are using your pattern and while she is making a 14th century style with liripipe and buttons, I am using your pattern to go with my 12th century garb - so no liripipe and no front opening and this video showing your alteration is perfect. Cheers
Ah, the crunch of scissors through fabric!
I swear I’m gonna make a sewing asmr video
Splendid work, as one can always expect from our beloved sword-wielding seamstress. I absolutely love that stencil trick! I'm in the brainstorming stages of creating a quasi-medieval plague nurse costume, and was wanting to put various common 15th-century English medicinal herbs along the hem of my apron and the edges of my veil, and poisonous herbs on my dress, but I can't embroider worth beans. I'll take a closer look at layered stenciling, it just may work a treat!
That sounds amazing!
Such a cool stencil and what a great final product! I also loved the very dramatic reveal. Great to see the hood in Action.
Congratulations!
Another fantastic make!
Today, having Founders Breakfast Stout, with water chaser
That is marvelous. What a fabulous way to make complex stencils. I've only used freezer paper to block off a silhouette image while spraying the fabric with bleach. I'm definitely going to have to try this process. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I spent the whole time you were doing line work with my hands on either side of my head about how precise and how long that would take lol I love watching you have fun with your reveals, especially knowing it's in a visible area. If we can't be okay risking looking silly in public, what are we even doing!?
I'm definitely keeping the freezer paper trick in my back pocket
It did take a hot minute lol, but between an art degree and scribal work, painting line work is pretty normal for me.
Oh everyone in that part of the apartment complex thinks I’m nuts lol. I see it as providing a public service; now they have something to talk about!
Fantastic. Love the stencil design. Where did you get those Adorable antlers from?
btw don't know if it was just me but the music on your outro seemed to be louder than normal.
I made them! I should do a little something on how to make those…
And thanks for the heads up; I feel like TH-cam is constantly messing with my sound one way or another…
Please do a tutorial. I would love to make a pair, but I wouldn't know where to start.
I think you've mentioned about the sound issues before. Haven't noticed any problems for more than a year though.
That was great work. I haven't seen a stencil used that way. Usually when i use a stencil when i have to do multiple copies. If it is one i wing it but this totally makes sense to get an accurate copy.
Very cool project! That stencil came out beautifully! I knew about the magical properties of freezer paper from a brief dip into the world of quilting, but I'd never seen it used to create such a complex stencil before.
You look like you had so much fun with your reveal 😁 was that a photography tutorial we could hear in the background when you were hemming? The slomo looked 👩🍳💋
It was! I have been doing so much learning since I got the new camera; I feel like I have to level up to be able to take full advantage of it.
My library has a maker space with a silhouette machine and I was wondering what I could do with it. Stencils sounds just up my alley.
Heck yeah! I’d love to see what you do!
I don't do Snapchat or anything but anyway it's going to be awhile.
BTW I am going to be joining the SCA!
@@theresaanndiaz3179 Heck yeah! I hope you enjoy it!
Another great hood! 💚. I like how you tucked the liripipe tail into the belt in the back. I'll have to see if the tail on mine (from your paatter, of course) is long enough to do the same.
If not, you can knot it up, or drape it around your neck; we have manuscript evidence for both!
Beautiful!
I was really expecting you to start doing the Labyrinth style contact juggling during the reveal.
I am so… SO bad at contact juggling.
@@OpusElenae I believe you when you say that, but given your track record, I would not have been the least surprised if you were amazing at it.
Hah! I love the "master hood." A+ pun
Also that really does look professional @.@
Absolutely love it!! Have you tried painting with make up wedges? It gives even consistency and dries beautifully.
I haven’t but that’s brilliant! I will try that for my next fabric painting project
Very cool! How well does the fabric paint medium and acrylic paint mixture handle machine washing? I'm 36 million hours into embroidering a blouse and wondering about quicker options for future embellishing projects but I'm too lazy to hand wash.
About as well as a graphic tee. They will eventually fade, but line/hang drying will help. It won't wash out in a week though.
I had a snort and chuckle about Masterhood and Master Hood. I was wondering how many masterhoods Partner has in Amtgard? Hood iswork of art.
Just one, Master dragon. I made him his hood as well lol
@@OpusElenae Dragon Hood for battle? And do you have a picture? Thanks for your reply,
@@susanpolastaples9688 Master Dragon is for arts. I’m not sure if I have picture of him in it or not, there might be one on my insta somewhere…
Oh there’s the hood: instagram.com/p/CVDc747AKoX/?igsh=MXR6N2UwNG94bWcxaA==
@@OpusElenae Thank you it is beautiful
The hood is stunning. Well done! Stencils have always been my fall-down-go-boom moment. Thanks for the tips.
I recently brought home a Featherweight and I'm in complete love. The Featherweight Shop sells LED lights - less burn-y.
By-the-by - my entry for Foundations Revealed is up in the Apprentice category under my full name Cathy MacDonald-Zytveld. Come by and say 'hi'? Seriously, I'd love the feedback.
Beverage of the day - medium roast coffee mixed with milk and hot chocolate mix.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Thanks! And yes, I replaced the light first thing, and bought more bobbins. I’ll take a look at your entry but I don’t care to participate in anything run by foundations revealed or Cathy hay
@@OpusElenae Ms. Cathy is on probation. She seems to understand that. I take people's apologies at face value. Second guessing at other people intentions is exhausting for my energy levels. I was in the trenches fighting off the racist comment-trolls who wanted the peacock project to go ahead... I will not cede them the ground to walk on. They don't get to take away the only opportunity I have to share my work.
Like I said, FR is under probation. See what happens when the winners get announced... If they fail again then the business is finished. It's that simple.
