2.0 | A&S 1 | Making simple shoes | Hlafdige Arastorm | You don't have to 'spoil' a gorgeous outfit by wearing sneakers with it when cut out and lace up shoes are so easy. "Bog shoes" require almost no sewing, and are perfect for kids because they adjust, are quick to make, and aren't (horribly) expensive. I have tools and patterns and can show you how to make your own. I'm hoping someone on site will have some lightweight leather so you can finish yours right there. There's about an inch of sewing, and I'll bring leather needles so you can take one away because they're sometimes hard to find. We'll also talk about other simple shoe patterns you can make (if not at the event). |

The culture affected which forms of divination was used. Sticking a stylus into the Æneid evolved into inserting a key into the Bible. Materials were what was available: casting seeds, a ring on a thread, bones, marks in the sand, sieve and shears, interpreting dreams, body, and natural phenomena. Every culture wanted hints about the future: love, wealth, etc. What's appropriate for your persona? |
