The costumes had two major mishaps. first the tunic for link costume was too small, so I had to put in panels under the sleeves. Then they lost one boot cover on way to rehearsal. Still they were well enough made that the grand kids looked great on the stage. Link was swashbuckling and Zelda demure. (she e very shy, but loves to be in the Masquerade.
Jewelry in Art Show, was hit and miss on reviews. A couple pieces I should have left, while my copper tree ornaments and hair sticks got praises. In end I did well for I got 4 sales at minimum bids, covering my costs with some profit.
Still I was lucky to be able to make it to science GoH, Dr. William D. Phillips, Laureate, The Nobel Prize in Physics 1997, talk on The Coolest things in the Universe. Meet Artist GoH Jim Odbert, when he got to the Con and was looking for the Art Show. Which I gave him directions to. and Hear Guest of Honor: Jody Lynn Nye talk on Tuckerizing people in her stories, as well as other authors who have Tucker people they know in to their stories.
Tuckerization is to have an Author write you into their book or short story. I was the only person there in the audience that had been Tuckerized.
