11/27/2006: I hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and that you are all currently enjoying a happy Holidays. This has actually been a rather large update and there is more in the works but I wanted to go ahead and get this out there for you guys before Decemeber hit. :) I updated and rewrote my 2004 Marozzo handout and turned it into an article (updated article can be found here: Achille Marozzo: An Overview ) which was submitted into competition at War of the Wings as well as to the Oak in October. This article is up in the reseach section so feel free to check it out. I have updated my Research and Classes and Competitions pages as well as added pictures of new completed and in progress projects to my Project Gallery and Projects and Documentation pages. There are pictures of my completed Gothic Fitted Gown and Gaston's new House Fluer Ermine Surcoat as well as pictures of my sideless surcoat and pink silk bodies which are still in progress. I have more projects that I am working on (my black silk and red linen suits) and pictures of those will be coming soon. There are also more pictures of my completed projects coming soon as well as a large Gallery reorg/makeover so please keep checking in. :) Finally as always, there is a new Monthly Inspiration. Enjoy!
