1 project winding down two more starting up


I finished the 200 fishplates for the Baronial banquet saturday, now I have to file off the knob where I clipped off the sprue, and project done. I may ask for some help finishing polishing the sprue off.

Then I did a load of work on Maxine's new garb for baronial banquet. this is the sketch. Her birthday is the day before the banquet, so we are bringing her freind Stevie, and we will have a lovely time. the under dress is a paleish blue, with grey wool cuffs and hem panel, edged with cream color ribbon. I will be sewing small pearls into the center of each diamond. and the headgear will be a challenge. Rus-style with dangling pearls at the temples. If I get to it I will make some red shoes too.

Mongolian boots are another project I want to put some time in on. I am still undecided if I am going to use poodle felt, of if I am going to figure out how to felt sheep. my last attempt was such a failure I am scarred, or maybe just scared.
