We noticed when we were already heading home... great business card. Just added you, and might see you on Bal du Masque!

Hello, I've just been looking at the wonderful steel corset you made for Wyte Phantom. I'd love to see more of your creations, so I've friended you if that's ok.
Cheers!

Oh that's fine and thank you for the lovely comment, it's great to see people who say hello before friending you i don't know about you but i hate it when people don't.
As for more creations well most of it is just re enactment stuff so unless your really into your arms and armour its a bit boring.
However i have promissed to make my lovely lady Esdi the next steel corset so there will be another one appearing soon.

I always try and comment with a friending, it's good to know why a mystery person has appeared!

I look forward to seeing the next corset, and for that matter the re-enactment armour too. I enjoy the craft as much as the creations.

Speaking of re enactment, I used to go to a Re enactment Fair when I lived in Oxford to source and commission various items, (a blade of my own design and an 18th century gown amoung other things,) but since moving up north I've no idea where any local fairs might be found... I miss the Oxford one, so if you know of any Northern Fairs let me know!

There is a northern re enactors fair as well as the Arms and Armour fairs in Leeds. I don't think the next re enactment one will be untill Sept/Oct time.
The Oxford market moved to Coventry and a much bigger venue a few years ago. Again the next one there will be in October.

There's allways a few of us heading to them from the northwest and as your only Liverpool way i am sure we could provide a lift for you.
So what was the custom blade you commissioned then?
