Hello all,
My name is Cora Vanwolf and I am completely new to all of this. I have been looking in the carson city area for five years, anything remotely resembling some sort of medieval type get togethers, mostly for costuming for Renaissance faire and to make friends interested in the same area. I pretty much suck at any sort of acting and making friends ( I have four children under 7 and I never get out because I'm afraid to get out), and I really don't know anything about how to properly behave at these events ( talk, the dos and donts, etc.). Looking to learn more about LARP and perhaps help people with costuming because that's pretty much the only thing I can say I'm absolutely bomb at. I've made many costumes with many materials including fiberglassing, pepakura, welding, sewing, EVA foam, worbla, electronics. My current project is articulating angel wings based off of Bushitakas design and a dragon scalemail vest which I've found this week to be very unfriendly to my hands (sporting calluses the size of quarters). Ask me if I've worked with it, in my nearly two decades of costuming I've probably worked with it and can help. Also, I'm working on getting my doctorate in naturopathy, I can lend some knowledge on natural medicines ( but there's a line where I must stop as I'm not a licensed physician yet). that's my schpeel! Can't wait to learn some new and exciting things and meet some people if I can get over my fear of being put on the spot and the general public.
