We did a little photo shoot of Diosa and Jill Handed Red as Mary Reed and Anne Bonney. Thought I'd share just a couple of the raw images with ya'll! They will be used for advertisements for a living history thing they're doing a couple months hence in Defuniak Springs, FL. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=121766&id=657171730&l=fa068d30fa

Couple 'o years back I started trackin' down me ancestors. Had always heard me Grammaw sayin' we was Scottish, Irish and native Indian. Well... found Scottish, English, Cherokee and a large portion from the Netherlands/Bavaria. Not an Irishman to be found. Usin' the tools provided by Wikitree and Ancestry I's been able to dig up several stories of piratical interest. The earliest occurs in 1499 when Breton Pirate Colyn Dolphin ransoms a Sir Harry Stradling for 1 or 2 thousand marks (depending on the source). Sir Harry is 17 degrees away so It's just an interesting tale. Fast forward to the mid 1600's and the Scottish/English ancestors are gettin' deported and leavin' the…

By favorite books, I mean the ones you keep as eye candy, or for reference on different techniques and methods. Or even ones that inspire you, which might be something other than a book strictly on art. You might also mention if the book is still in print. So post your favs. I'll start. I believe all of these are still in print. Anything by Nick Bantock, but especially the Griffin and Sabine series, or The Venetians Wife. Artists' Journals & Sketchbooks by Lynne Perrella - Soft cover. al.pha.bet.i.ca An A-Z Creativity Guide for Collage and Book Artists by Lynne Perrella - Soft cover. The last two books have great eye candy, but also great tips on techniqu…

Surfin' the web a'while back and I runned across a feller who's facebook page is dedicated to OLD techniques and processes fer just about everything. Foods , building supplies, makin' bells, stonework, horn, hammerin' out gold leaf, makin saddles outta grass and the like. The videos are kinda longish and the translations from various languages is odd at times. Yer skills WILL be enriched by wotchin' this character. T'ain't necessarily pirate arts, just the way things was/is done by hand me down knowledge. www.facebook.com/eugeniomonesmalosttrades/

I'm heading off to the final weekend of my localish renaissance festival tomorrow. I entirely failed at any plans for new garb despite my carefully laid plans. So this evening I've been digging through my bins to cobble something together from things I made nearly two decades ago. A small leather folder contained this note and some handmade goods from one of our departed friends and I find it is suddenly a maudlin evening here abouts.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to put this on, but I did write and "direct" the small skit that we did for my son's birthday party, so I figured it is kind of a work of art. My son's celebrated his 4th birthday with a pirate themed party. For fun, a couple of friends and I put on a skit for him and his friends, so that we could set up the theme and "plot" of the party. I managed to finally upload it to Youtube, so please feel free to take a look and post comments, both here, and on youtube. I had to break it up into 3 videos, so be sure to click on the "More From: lordrenfest" button to the right of the video, in order to see the whole skit. I hope you enjoy …

So here's a little reproduction map that I've been working on for a couple of days. Certainly not the nicest one I've drawn but all in all I think it turned out well. It's 16"x21" on laid paper. The map is completey hand plotted, drawn, and inked with one of the main ou of period details being that I used pens with waterfast ink to prevent smudging should the map get wet. Comments and Crtisicm are welcome.

Now that I have finally finished the "art room" in my house I have started painting again. Been a while but was glad to know that after 2 hours of practicing I haven't lost all my skill. Would like to work on some portraits for a while so if anyone has a favorite pic they want to send me I would love to paint a few of the pub members. No charge if you like the way it turns out and want me to send it to you. You can e-mail me the pics at csuttle3@gmail.com

Thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could all share tips, finds, and, like in the title, accidents that turned out to be kinda kewl. In the sketchbook thread, Patrick described how he saw the reflection of leaves on a cloth, digi-photoed it, then turned it into paper for a Mother's Day card. I mentioned how I scan my favorite scrapbook papers, so I can use them over and over again. This works really well for papers that have a design on both sides. Actually, I scan all kinds of things to use in my artwork. For example, pages from calenders that have old maps on them, or astronomical charts, and all four sides of an old Chinese tea tin, among many others.…

Several folks have pm'ed me with observations, comments and issues. 1) Members are not receiving books until well after the first of the month, (and I don't mean the second week of that month, more like the last week.) 2) Members are not receiving books for a certain month, and then getting two books to be done or the next mailing. 3) Questions about the amount of work in each book 4) Communication among members about time frames While this is not a rant, it is simple genteel reminders about the articles you signed before heaving aboard. I understand that life sometimes gets in the way with all of us having careers, families, and other hobbies. Especially aroun…

Started sketching and drawing again, when I was cleaning out the workshop I found an old atlas from the 30's. I used a combo of 2 old printouts of the Caribbean and the map of Cuba in the atlas to make this. It is on heavy paper and I used India ink on the old nib tip pens to ink it..... Bad pic, I had to use the phone... OK, got the camera to work:

Hello! I’m Duchess. I’m your Arts of Pyracy Moderator. I spent my childhood summers working with my mom at one of the largest renaissance festivals in the country. I worked there again as an adult for almost a decade. I’ve been involved in a variety of historic, theater and arts related endeavors for much of my life, but stepped away from performing about 15 years ago. I still have most of my gear, living in totes in my small house. It might be angling for a come back or a side step, I don't know yet. I am a physicist by training, an inveterate and intemperate learner of skills by nature, nurture and inclination. I’m thrilled to see the Pub return, hav…
