Very cool Archeon photo!


Regular Archeon photographer Hans S. made this wonderful photo of us as the Girbeson family.

I'm glad Lars is also on this photo! He's our "adopted Viking" as you may know, and we really should have more photos of the 4 of us.

Rúna is in the basket-cart of course...

Whitsun event and more dresses.....

The Whitsun event in Archeon was great! The weather was fabulous but actually a bit too hot and we were very glad to be in the Fisherman's cottage for the duration of the event. The poorest man in the early medieval village, the fisherman also had the coolest house and it was easy to stay cool and fresh while others were sweating away. It's the house on the left; normally there's some fishing gear on display outside, this photo is rather dull at that.




A lot of photos this time, folks, for you to enjoy! I finished Runa's underdress and hangarok in no-time, really and here are the photos. First a detail of the shoulder seam and fastening.
I made a "blind" fastening, so that you don't see the buttons... ;)

Runa enjoying the underdress...


She wasn't so sure about the hangarok....


Detail of the hangarok....


The two 'brooches' were actually a pair of horrible 1980s earrings from the flea market!
