Thank you All!
Warp set up. I used the styrofoam that my new dishwasher came in, with the cardboard underneath. The pins went through the styrofoam and cardboard when the shed was down, and only styrofoam when up.

Stefania, who is Head of Costumes, showed me a couple of her early sketches. Exciting times indeed!

In a previous post I showed off Ryan’s work in progress. (He is making the crown for our kings.) The progress continues. AMAZING!

The head wrap might work nice for our nameless soldiers. (played by actors who are playing other named parts). Also, note the shoes! (Not that I’m expecting people to wear and fight in anything like that!)

Mon (紋), also monshō (紋章), mondokoro(紋所), and kamon (家紋), are Japanese emblems used to decorate and identify an individual or family. While mon is an encompassing term that may refer to any such device, kamon and mondokoro refer specifically to emblems used to identify a family.

The devices are similar to the badges and coats of arms in European heraldic tradition, which likewise are used to identify individuals and families. Mon are often referred to as crests in Western literature; another European heraldic device similar to the mon in function.
