Details matter.


Details matter.

Originally shared by Kirill Grouchnikov

Michele Clapton wanted [Sansa's wedding] dress to tell Sansa’s story through the very detailed embroidery and it does. Her lower back showing Stark direwolf and Tully fish to represent her roots however as you move round the dress the Lannister lion becomes more dominant. In areas it shows the contrast between the lion and the dire wolf as they fight on her hips as she becomes more and more entangled by Lannister life. Finally the Lion's head is stamped on her back neck to represent how the Lannisters finally own her through marriage. The Tully blue is faintly used in some areas however Lannister red and gold strong throughout.

The attention to details is quite amazing.

    Gorgeous detailing!

    Both that show and Downton Abbey do some amazing intricate work.  Not only are the pieces themselves delicious, they even spend time aging the clothes so they look lived in and era appropriate.

    I would be happy just walking through and touching all the fabrics and looking at the construction up close.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
