Lore. The author titled this toolkit “Flowers,” bc that was the vibe of the strategy. “A resistance rooted in care, is like putting flowers in the barrels of fascist machinery.”🌻🪻🌻🌹🌼🌺💐🪷

My recently sewn 1920s wear at the larp Miskatonic University by Chaos League with Reverie Studios. I also made the retro pennant to put on my door. Gaines was my character’s name. They were reworn at a larp playtest. I also made a new hat from Wearing History’s 1930s Sporty Toppers pattern.

There’s something about the desert photo that feels like a late 80s album cover.

I’ve finished the quilted silk Spencer. I also added trim to this older dress. Hat & reticule are from Shocking Bad Hats. This new fit is for my next larp in April.

I finished this 80s does 20s dress. I did a handkerchief skirt overlay. It isn’t so visible in this busy fabric but it makes it move.

I might add some trim or something but pretty happy with it as is.

Since I’m not seeing anything on my FB feeds I guess they really are scrubbing anything negative about our new fascist leader. Hooray for us. :/
