update WITH some pics
Some of the pics from yesterdays post but not all... MiL is keeping me from the computer I need to use to upload pics from at home...
grrrr.
Well.. here we go.
In general, I got a few pics at Candlemas this past weekend... not many and several were for others as they wanted pictures of garb to steal, um, copy.... Lighting is bad in a few as I took some shots from across the room, no help from the flash there. Tessa and Alex REALLY didn't seem to like that I had a camera there. Feel free to name others in the pictures if you can as I haven't had a chance to do so yet.

working on painting a shield for my soon to be squire (at Ymir).
Here is the beginning: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sinclairhawkins/3273419642/
and here is the blank canvas: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sinclairhawkins/3272600051/
let the painting begin... (I have the yellow and blue done now but havent uploaded the pics yet...sigh)
I made a mount for hanging a pendant of a greyhound on... Needs MUCH more work to get the shape better but this was a first try at size etc... a good first piece to use to get better on... The Greyhound is from http://www.craftycelts.com/ and I can only hope to do work as good as Master Vortigern some day. He's my HERO...

and lastly, I started making some buckles for the Squire belts needed for this weekend. I wasn't happy with the first ones so I stayed up last night and made more... the BETTER looking ones will be up tomorrow I hope but there are the pics of the first attempts.
