Installing the skulls around the fence of baba yagas hut. All posts get a skull but one. My favorite BY tale has bone gramma out played by a young maid and forced to loose one of her skull lanterns.

Redoing my glaze tile board. New tiles and a pretty frame cause why not.

Today i am greatful for my local Langely Farmers Market (fruit and veg grocery chain).

Often I find they cut a couple of their cabbages in half.

As a single person a whole cabbage is toooooooo much cabbage.

Not bad for a non potter.

Made a candlestick with a 16th century Islamic vibe.

Need work on underglaze technique.

Messing about with home made underglaze transfers.

The quote is from some centuries old treatise on urine colour analysis.

Working on my blue sunshade, complete with a semy of 8 pointed voided stars (Populace badge of Tir Righ). Based on a small background detail of a 12th century illumination.

Got a scroll for my tents/encampments, and I got started working on my Kalkan heraldic shield project.

I am starting a new project that is adjacent to my reed screens. Kalkans.

A small domed shield made of spiral bound reeds/rods. There are a lot of them in museums, but not a lot about how to make them. Researching museum photos and starting trials on binds techniques.

So even before the next tent project I am going to jump ahead and do a blue awning for my disked bells encampment. Found what I think is a blue rectangle with decorations, red ropes, and poles. I think mine will be Azure, semi of 8 pointed voided stats argent.

Finished my felted hat. Will eventually replace the band, but it will do for now. The next hat I make will require a proper hat block, as the pot i used ended up a tad too big.

Just another aging Gen X slipping orthotics into a pair of converse.

Next possible tent could be based on this lovely example. Except no horses, and a yurt ring with poles I stead of a market umbrella.

My 8ft red timurid empire tent pole while pretty wasn't up to snuff, so I decided to make a new pole.

3" sewer pipe and pillar style candle holders are what I'm using. Same technique I used for my 6ft tall white tomurid empire tent.

Go girthy or go home.

I may have a migraine that's trying to end me, but I can still sit on the couch with a cold cloth across my head and still felt some wool with my feet.

The original use of a reed screen.

Took the new sunshade to the Barony of Lionsgate Champions Tourney. It worked out pretty nicely. I only have a few tie straps left to sew onto it.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, as it doesn't fit with my more Timurid persona. We'll under a hundred all in.
