“Every subject’s duty is the king’s, but every subject’s soul is his own”

King Henry V

In 2024 I made a dear friend a mighty cloak fit for a King; King Douglas, in fact! Inspired by King Henry VIII and his famous portrait, I made a faux fur lined cloak of red velvet, paired with a velvet cap and gold embroidered trim, and a raven feather for embellishment. The sword is borrowed from a fellow Knight enthusiast and metal cloak fasteners from an old belt. The images are taken and edited to resemble oil paintings, with AI helping on some background scenes to create that fairytale image. This year he will be ready for our local Renaissance Faire this July 26/27 in Edson, Alberta. If you see him be sure to shout ‘Huzzah!” to the King.

#Reddressseries Liard Hot Springs

I have always enjoyed dressing up. As a child I wore dresses (every day) until I was in Grade 6 when a boy made fun of me and asked why I didn’t wear pants like normal girls. I am happy to say I still enjoy dresses from time to time (but do find pants warmer and more practical for most cases), and when I do wear a dress I like to make an occasion of it — like this #reddress gown I made for photography. If you have never visited Liard Hot Springs a few hours north of Fort Nelson, B.C in Canada, I recommend you make a trip. Not only do we see northern lights (almost daily in winter), but we have the best hot springs I have ever visited! They are naturally occurring, and surrounded by trees and wildlife. Often you will find moose in the shallow spring areas eating vegetation year round (do be careful as they are wild and very dangerous — they are not trained photo-props). If you are looking for a remote adventure, far from large cities and light pollution, come visit Northern B.C. and enjoy what nature has to offer. #northernrockiestourism #northernrockies #travelBC #travelnorthernBC
