Greetings from North Central Florida

[Del-Nara Lanith]

I'm Anne, a native Floridian and long time Star Wars fan [original trilogy (Episodes IV-VI)]. I'm currently in Ocala, which would put me in the territory of the Southern Order. I've visited TJA's Jedi costuming tutorial section many times over the years. I was always a fan of the Jedi; my favorite character was Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by the late Sir Alec Guinness), but I liked Yoda too.


I've covered Star Trek, Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, Babylon 5 & Battlestar Galactica costuming over the years.  I once put together a B5 Ranger One costume, wore it to MegaCon in Orlando one year, and had several people mistake me for being a Jedi... which I now take as a complement.  I'm looking forward to putting together a generic Jedi costume (with skirt) for my "character," Del-Nara Lanith.  So I'd appreciate all the assistance I can get.


I look forward to sharing progress on my costume in the days & months ahead with you all... and to the day when I can officially become a member of The Jedi Assembly & the Southern Order.

Thanks for letting me join in.

Greetings Del-Nara, and Welcome to TJA. We look forward to seeing your progress toward finishing a new set of Jedi garb. Keep posting, I look forward to seeing your posts. Where is Ocala in FL, I forget my FL geography, I lived near Miami as a kid.

[Del-Nara Lanith]

I was born & raised in Miami. My parents retired from the Dade County schools, and we moved north to Gainesville in the early '80s. After they passed away, I was asked to help with some family-related things in Ocala, so I ended up moving south; been here five years. Ocala is about 40 miles south of Gainesville, both in the North Central part of the state.

I would've posted in the Southern Order subforum just to say hello, but didn't see an open intro thread there.

Thanks, Nova, for the welcome.
