For My Bookbinding Friends…
Back in 2010, during my visit to the Museu d’Art de Catalunya, in Barcelona, I took a large number of pictures which I never managed to post anywhere. I have the best intentions of rectifying that. For starters, here is a series of pics of a polychrome wood carved statue of a saint, c. 1300, by an anonymous artist, from the workshop of San ( Read more... ) -

16th Century Mix and Match
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. As you may have already noticed, I am a big fan of the 16th Century kirtle, that wonderful garment that features a boned bodice and which can be worn as underwear or outerwear.

Dancing with the Stars: Predictions
Finally! An DWTS entry! Woot!
I haven't been doing any posting on Dancing with the Stars, or at all, for that matters. I swear that work has been eating my brains. However, there is no reason that I can't post my handicap for the dancers that are left at this stage of the game.

So here goes:

Vizard Masks
Good news. I have been meaning to update my document “Gloves and Muffs and Masks, Oh My!” for a while. The thing is, when I wrote it back in 2005, no extant masks had been found. Nevertheless, in 2010, a vizard mask was found walled in a building in England, and this has changed the name of the game.
Pictures and information can be found at the ( Read more... ) -

The Mystery of the Imaginary Magical Genes
For the first time in months, I had to pick some alternate exercises to my usual routine due to equipment being used by other gym goers. I found this particularly peculiar. It is not often that I find not one, but three, different machines that I want to use occupied at the same time. Then it hit me: But of course! It's the beginning of the ( Read more... )
