I recently traveled to Toronto for work and while there discovered many good foods and beverages. Unfortunately the one I most desire turns out not to be available in my neck of the woods. While widely distributed in Canada, it appears that only a few US states carry it. (As of now, Somersby Apple C...

Agreed, I definitely didn't think them very camp worthy and they do not fold. I guess I considered them more of a throne for the home. I couldn't help but admire them though, and I've heard so many people talk about owning a pair over the years that I just didn't think it was fair to keep them to my...

Robert,
I do love a good site token! Nicely done and well planned.

So I came across these yesterday while enjoying the free air conditioning and waiting for fireworks. I am not the one selling these , but I thought someone here may have an interest, so I thought I'd share. I live very close to this shop and can help you get in contact with them if necessary. 2 Carv...

There is a lady in Aethelmearc who does this, and teaches it also. Her name is Fredeburg von Katzenellenbogen. She does a beautiful german persona. She always looks like a perfect Nuremberg Woman, hair fringe and perfect gathered front. I'm not sure if this info is still all correct for her, but she...

I say this not to be rude or to discourage you, but Joanns is not know for carrying quality fabric. I work for a company that does fabric liquidation and the amount of fabric we won't resell from them is frightening. Alot of the stuff just gets pitched. :( That comment out of the way, i would say th...

Sorry Luca, white wool and burlap are both proving impossible to keep in stock lately.

I have a number of natural pale shades, but the only true whit is a blend of 30% nylon.

I'll be attending and merchanting at Ice Dragon this year, but as my transport space is limited I'd like to be selective with my offerings. So I will ask... Is there anything I can bring for any of you? Specific colors of wool? Specific weaves or lengths? I'll have a bit of the linen canvas, fine sm...

I gave up on paypal a while ago. The service was terrible, the fees were always changing, and the turnaround time was unreliable at best. I was always having a hold placed on my funds and people didn't receive my invoices. I use wepay now. Not a single problem in over a year and I've made 100's of t...

I would like to spruce up our tent a bit, and was thinking about finishing my tent poles. But I'm not sure what to use. We have a 14x16ish wall tent with 12 exposed short wall posts. The larger, interior poles and ridge are douglas fir. They are a nice, rich rose color by nature. The exterior poles ...

Thank gosh I don't have to embroider that every time.

I'm most likely to try for "Or, a water bouget and a bordure gules"

I embroider these alot... more than a sane person should. For that reason, simplicity is key, and gold just gives me a good excuse for metal thread.

Thank you all yet again.

Avitoria_vidua

Thanks.
I'm no herald, so sometimes I get a bit confused. I do truly value all of the suggestions I have received so far.

Hopefully, one of these will work in my favor.

Avitoria_vidua

This is awesome on so many levels.

I have no extra armour, and no skill at making it. I can however sew up a storm.
If he is ok with linen, I can help him with a tunic for over everything and a coif to keep the sweat from his eyes.

I'll send you a pm for measurements.

Avitoria_vidua

Interesting.
Though I must confess... I'm not sure I understand what that would look like off hand.
...A gold background, a water bouget with a red outline?
...or is it A gold background with a red outline, a water bouget without color?

Sorry, my herald speak is only so fluent

Avitoria_vidua

See, this a perfect example of why I get so frustrated. The 2x rule eliminates my ability to design something simple.... and yet I can find "(fieldless) a water bouget _____" registered in a number of other color variations. How did all of these get passed? Grrrr.... I just don't understand how some...

Avitoria_vidua

:lol: I certainly intend to use "artistic license". In fact, after this resubmission I may just say to heck with it and use what I please. I suppose as long as I can't register it, then either can anyone else..... :? I wouldn't be so annoyed, but my first ridiculous attempt at heraldry passed so eas...

Avitoria_vidua

Did you try to register: Or, a scripted letter "A" gules and (Fieldless) a scripted letter "A" gules Edited to add: Although, Puritanically speaking, gules is not scarlet . . . Yeah, I've been given some flack for that... but the red A has nothing to do with the book. (Which I've never actually eve...

Avitoria_vidua

So, I've tried to make myself familiar with the recent changes to the rules for heraldry. Unless I am mistaken they do nothing to help my situation. :( That being said... could someone help me to conflict check a resubmission? I'd still like to keep my design as simple as I can. Just a single charge...

MJ,

I'll check the swatch, and if I have it I will bring it with.

I have three styles of hair fabric... but I don't believe any hair belts. In fact, I'm not sure what that is.

MJ, As for primary blue wool... how much would you need?

Avitoria_vidua

I know we have a few blues, but I am not sure if it is the same cut off hand. Are you looking for more of a navy, or more of a primary blue?

I will be hauling the current fabric stash out to SRWC this weekend. My display will be modest, and my room somewhat limited (We have a Rav4). I'll be bringing.... fustian (11 yards), cream silk with a woven stripe (15 yards), white linen (20 yards), navy linen (6 yards), wool in assorted colors and...

I picked a copy up for $45 last year, but a friend of mine just paid $140. It can be so hard to tell with books.

Perhaps just list it as an auction?

Thank you for the compliment, and the laugh.

I found a number of lace suppliers.... but mainly people selling old yellow lace in short lengths. The other bits people identified as bobbin lace were commercially produced nylon and cotton laces. (I know because they're some of the same laces we sell at work... and for at least a few of the suppli...

I'm interested in purchasing a narrow width of bobbin lace, approximately between 1 and 2 yards in length. Preferably a design with a scalloped edge and a flat edge. Approximately 1/2" wide in white linen, I can supply the thread if necessary. Yes, I can make it myself... but I don't enjoy it. Yes, ...

Got my supply from Seaweed today! Great price and products.

The wax is clean, and the honey is delicious. I'm very pleased, and the embroiderers in my Shire will be too.

Thank you again.

I received your dagger today, and I couldn't be more pleased! The craftsmanship is clean, and the overall look of the knife is just fantastic. It will make a beautiful and functional addition to our kit.
