martelvoncI must do these lists to keep myself on track. So you can ignore me or read at your will.
Here is the current update on the project list-
My Opus Anglicanum Project is moving right along with the lion motif done and the border laid out and started. This is quite a large project but I look forward to finishing it as it will become a removeable cover for one of the many 3 ring binders I use. There are still a lot of hours involved here though. The embroidery frame and equipment has become a fixture beside my desk in the dining room. My family has become resigned to this.
I am also getting ready to start a super secret project. It is not for any reason other than I wish to make this thing but I cannot use it in the SCA. The time period is not right for how I usually dress. Besides the design will be very person specific and if I work on it at events the person will know it is just for them. Being a process artisan, I will have gotten the enjoyment of making the thing and then I will be happy to let someone else have the enjoyment of owning it. I have a cunning plan on how I will present the item. *insert evil laugh here.
I will be making some very tiny (2.5"x3.5") very later period goldwork bookcovers soon also. A friend expressed a secret desire to have one of my book covers and since I want to make 3 others, I will frame up a peice of velvet large enough to do all four at the same time. Once again the process needleworker raises it's ugly head. I will make it for the joy of making it and then I can give them away. This time though I am making one for me. *GASP!*
My bone carving has been on hold most of the winter. Due to the problem of bone dust I prefer to work out side so the change to spring weather will be most welcome. I'm just about done my pearl medallion and I'm about 1/2 way through my bone cloak pin. I'm also working on roughing out dice. The dice are so I can play stealth yatzee at events. I have a bunch of other small items I'd like to make. This is a time passer for when my embroidery brain needs a break.
You may think I have a lot of burners going all at once. It's true, I do, but I find I cannot work non-stop on one project. I need the mental break of rotating through a couple of things. Believe me I have more projects I want to do but I refuse to start theme until these projects are completed.
Somewhere in all of this I must make some new garb. I have two outfits planned, fabric purchased and ready to go. I need to purchase fabric for a third but this one but it needs a bit more research. I am not a great costumer but I am a servicable costumer. My fabrics are not always totally *period* in fiber content but I look passable. Not nearly as good as some but better than others.
That is all the news that is fit to print for today.
