But alas

I sweat like a hog in the humid heat, but it is fun.

A little suffering to look well and good is acceptable

Hogs don't sweat

This is the feudal larp goal. @Deleted User

Getting real hardcore into having an historical wardrobe.

That's one epic picture right there

Welsh archers.

Life is meant to be enjoyed after all, the more effort poured into it the more happy you are.

Happiness however isn’t everything.

I only have a rough tunic sewn by my grandmother, which is at my mother's place somewhere. It was made in accordance to how some of the archeological findings were on some jutland stuff. And soon I'll have some handcrafted pendants with beads and what not to really put together the chieftain look

I agree

You make your own happiness, but it's also not wise to make so much you drown in it

Or something

I’m not after to look like a noble or a chieftain. Just a meager peasant, most will argue that’s “basic lack of ambition”, but not everyone is nobility or a leader. I enjoy the serf life.

It’s simple. It’s easy. It’s happiness.

Yeah same

The pendant however I had no say in. The guy who's crafting it makes it as a gift

If you ever could assist in helping me fulfill my wardrobe change I’ll pay you USD. As naturally some good Viking danish type clothing is not going to be available for purchase on this continent.

Genuine reproductions that aren’t going to break my weekly budget at least.

This is the pendant. Amber and garnet, with two bronze hammers, two bronze axes and a larger bronze hammer. It symbolizes how the axe turned into a hammer in pagan symbolism and the amber my homeland and the garnet was his choice. It's pretty extravagant, but neat

The patina is also very dark, and I asked if it could be polished to be lighter to show more of a bronze shine, so I suppose I will see how it looks when that has been done

Such a pretty thing though

Looks magnificent!

I can't sew, and my grandmother is nearing an age where I don't think she'll be able to do it anymore

And yeah, I can't wait to get it

I should have learned from my own grandmother in my childhood but alas, she died of Alzheimer’s and I was no longer a child. It’s a missed opportunity.

All the older generations here I don’t think are willing to educate in sewing, seamstresses are hard to come by nowadays.

Well, I should depart and get my cold shower preparing for bed. It’s nearing 10.

Holy shit it's almost 5am

I should make sleepies too

Likewise, sleep well and have a wonderful morning once you awake.

Bless your heart Justin, bless your heart Stew and bless your stew Justin

@Alpaca13 And a ping for you

Good night

Goodnight hal

You get a good night too, but you have to be a good womam and find a flower to dry between the pages of a book before winter comes
