Hey this is very close to me. This would be my first event if I can make it. Can someone help me as to what I need to do, I mean do you have to reserve a tent space and do you have to have period tents? I don't have a kit yet but would love to go and just hang out and admire. Yhanks in advance to an...

A small, silly little question: Are high-heels period to the middle ages? I'm pretty confident platforms are, but what about heels (ie, stilletoes, kittens, etc) Please don't eat the newbie, this is my first post! Dad, if you're reading this, please let me know so I can laugh uproriously. -Gwyn ("v...

No, the book is out of print. You might try the library. Also, you might the book "The Vikings" by Johannes Brondsted. The book has a short chapter on art, etc. If you have any trouble, just pm me and I'll give some help. Mord. Thanks Sir Mord,I'll try this. Also thanks for the offer of futher help.

DAVID01

Meaddrinker,

While we are all looking forward to photos of the tatoos, might I suggest you look for the book "Viking Art" by Ole Klindt-Jensen.

Thank you, do you know if I would be able to find this somewhere like a bookstore in the mall?

DAVID01

With me, it's not so much it's "boring and cliche" but because it is so dang overdone on alot of everything. Armour, costumes, hilts, tattoos et.c. I had a pair of Insular Jellinge armbands adapted/intertwined from the Skara Brae Penannular terminals tattooed as black&grey "stonework" around my upp...

Myself, I'm not really into "Celtic knotwork". Its OK but I see it on so many things it is becoming boreing.

Thanks chef, I just saw this and it looked so close to me, I had to ask

Count me in, I'd like to have one too.

Drachus, I don't really know as this was a trade and not actually a purchase. Kyle did not have a computer, so all communication was done through Hal on Kyle's behalf. Since it appears that Kyle is no longer Hal's apprentice, there may not be a way to reach him. It is unfortunate. Cat I think he is...
