Liberty Bell
Originally uploaded by alysten

Weekend was awesome. Went to see the liberty bell. Saw the sunshine. BBQ'd meat products.

Talked about getting a rotisserie. Something battery powered and hand cranked so that people can 'try it', and big enough to roast lamb or pig. Thinking about getting this for Pennsic.

Decided on a great combination of stuff for the boy. Need to pick out fabrics for the new spiffy armor. I have narrowed it down to wavy lines/denticulata doublet and flame/diamond pants.

Here is what I am thinking of teaching at Pennsic:

• Webminstering 101- ADA 508 compliancy, simple coding/web development, technology usage, effective design.
• Sugar subelties- modern sugar, period techniques.
• Knife skills- knife identification, proper knife care, knife handling and cutting techniques

Project updates:

• Embroidery on Project #1 completed.
• Embroidery on argent_tyger's cuff partially ripped out and begun again in the correct color.
• Embroidery on Royal Fencing baldric(princess) 1/2 completed.
• Embroidery on Bhakail A & S baldric nearly completed.
• Parts for 4 projects cut out and ready for the machine.
• Flat trim ironed for argent_tyger.
• Ermine dots painted on fabric.

Many more thingys to do this week before coronation, including baking some cookies and such.

I wanna come eat too!

I just got in a book on German lebkuchen forms, some used for marzipan and I imagine sugar work as well - some are in period and there is a history of the mold usage. Interested in images? Also, would you like that I pull out period sugarwork thingies from the reading I am doing?
