Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

Maria Maria

I hate being stuck. And what am I stuck on you might ask? I am stuck on what I want to make for my Maria costume. For those of you who don’t know who Maria is, she is the Vampire who Made Jasper from the Twilight Saga books. A Civil war era Vampire who thrived during the Vampire Wars with Jasper as the commander of her army.

First things First I know I will have to get red contacts. Because Maria feeds on humans. But other than that I am not sure what to do. I have had several ideas. But I haven’t been able to grasp on one. There are so many styles of Civil war dress I could go with. I don’t think Maria would be a fully upper crust lady, but something also tells me she wouldn’t be just a plain peasant. Jasper describes the three women when he sees them as beautiful and Angelic. I think the dress would be geared for that as well.

Presently I am thinking of a dress similar to this:




But I don’t see Maria in white. Of course I won’t fully know what she will be in until Eclipse is out and frankly I have no intention of waiting that long to make my dress. I pictured something off the shoulders at first. But now I am not sure. I have been playing back and forth on a lot of things.

Now my personal favorite color of course is purple. But I am not sure Maria would be in purple. Personally when I feel Maria I feel Reds and Blacks. But that’s just me. I could be wrong I am certainly not always right. So I am sure I have babbled and rambled and some of you are wondering what the heck I am talking about. Ha-ha. No fear I shall make it work. And when I do I will have pictures that I promise you.
