Jeanine Swick – Treasurer (Silicon Web Costumers’ Guild) is ICG Treasurer and former SiW Secretary. Her grandmothers and mother taught her to make clothes for dolls and school at an early age. In Home-Ec, she made 3 piece suits while others figured out 3 piece patterns. She costumed in high school for theater, and later for her own teens. Her work is “period inspired” rather than historically accurate, incorporating her own creativity. She sells at regional renfaires, cons, SCA, and belly dance events. Visit Designs by J.

Merrily Wolf – Corresponding Secretary  (The Greater Columbia Fantasy Costumer’s Guild, GCFCG) enjoys the art of costuming. She was drawn to homemade costumes when her mother made her a handsewn cow costume with a paper mâché head in elementary school. It was life changing after being raised on Ben Cooper costume-in-a-box. Her “closet costuming” started in high school and continued through summer camps. She uses costuming to test her sewing skills and learn new crafts. She has created handmade costumes for Girl Scout events, “Disney bounds” for fun at work, and designs original costumes for masquerade. She has presented on convention panels, assisted with children’s programing, and created costumes and props for a small local haunted house.

Anne Davenport – Recording Secretary (Silicon Web Costumers’ Guild) has been costuming for 40 years since sewing and wearing a Starfleet uniform for Senior Class Dress-up Day in high school. Most of her costuming energies are aimed at convention hall costuming, but she also participates in Masquerades at the Master level from Costume-Cons to Worldcons.

Relevant fan experience: editing a very tiny SF club newsletter and serving on a couple of fan club boards in the 1990’s. She is currently helping the Rebel Legion (a Star Wars costuming group) revise their club charter, which currently has significant organizational difficulties. She now looks forward to doing some good for the ICG, which she has been a member of for at least twice as long as she has been with the Rebel Legion.
