Info on Starch & a question

[lferion]

I'm thinking of making my own starch (possibly even colored) for A&S

And I have photos of a bead for you, if you still want it. It's considerably later than Roman (I think the card says 12th to 14th century), but the offer still stands... (magelet (at) gmail (dot) com)

Many of the best things emerge from craziness.

So, how do you make starch, and what do you do with it?

It sounds like an excellent A&S project, mostly because it's a period necessity that often receives the "but I used [insert modern means] instead" treatment in the SCA.
