Avy Creates (a Mess)

Some gnarly goblin teeth. Yes this is my idea of a good time on a Friday night. I'm such a party animal

This little Christmas elf has been hard at work on some new decorations! I found the idea on Pinterest: https://pin.it/e7gvxc4doaquba Instead of white paint, I used a white chalkboard pen. #gingerbreadhouse #garland #christmasdecorations #christmas #diy #crafty https://www.instagram.com/p/BrT3ceTH3Ee/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jzlhfmq2ws8q

My mom said this expression makes me look "mean" and "like you're really going to stab someone with that sword." Soo... Mission accomplished, I guess? 😂 #ReginaDenvorn #ladyknight #ladywarrior #warrior #warriorgirl #sword #medievalcostume #medievalinspired #costume #thisismymeanface https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKbo_TH39W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o2srl5xmovpd

Finally, some full pictures of the much-awaited visit to the PARenFaire! My costume made it into the top 5 at the contest, and the one I made for Dad took 3rd place! Gandalf came in first, obviously. That dude was awesome!

I was literally leaving at 4 a.m. the day after this and was still working on this costume 😅

Guess what's tomorrow and I am so E X C I T E D 💖 #parenfaire #PennsylvaniaRenaissanceFaire #parf #imgoingthere #woot (at Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2YWsOloms/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hpwbt79sn63g

The silhouette with small hoops is maybe not 100% period accurate. I'm a rebel?

Look for me at PARF on Saturday October 13th!!

Part of my dad's costume for when we visit PARF on October 13th

(Holy s m o k e s I still have so much to do before we leave) 😰

[avysbigmess]

Making some collapsible side hoops for my gown. Side hoops are probably not correct to the period, but nothing else on my costume really is either soooo... 😅

(I'm attending the PARenFaire on October 13th! Keep an eye out, I'll be posting a preview of the full costume in the next couple of weeks so you can find me if you're there on the same day!)

Working on some articulated gauntlets today

[avysbigmess]

The big darlin' actually spent extra time picking out ones that would work on metal. Whattaguy, awww.

[avysbigmess]

Progress upgrading my shield for PARF!

[avysbigmess]

I'm actually super excited for how this is turning out!

Now he just needs some scraggly hair and things.
