Those items previously listed are just the ones I keep at my home. I have a small shop with the rest of m'stuff. OH on previous list forgot to mention the sandpaper, small saw and such. Also, I do have some beads made of bone. Items kept at home are in stackable totes with lockable lids, within them I keep similar items together (yes organized) in zip lock bags. I started that when it began to get to a point of couldn't find things without digging into everything. The small shop I got only recently and am still trying to get that organized. Shop cost...Very reasonable as rents go. The shop is in an artists village building down near the river. The city is constructing a park nearby and the owners of the building is looking into getting an art fair event going after the park is opened.

with some of the paintings I use construction paper underneath and do a ribbon frame

art chest = colored pens, pencils, chalks, watercolor, arylic, oils, inks, fabrics, beads (glass and semiprecious), wood carving, wood burning, drawing/drafting supplies, collage pastes, various papers, etc. short of time ... medium is according to subject matter.

Ah, I say post em. just dont put in who gets what. That way keeps the participants guessing as to whether it be theirs or not. Otherwise it will be as you say months before you could post...and my thinking is (as I put some of my art up already too) even if we see it online t'ain't anything like seeing it in person.

In the 15th century, the beard was worn long. Clergymen in 16th century England were usually clean shaven to indicate their celibacy. When a priest became convinced of the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation The Protestant Reformation, also referred to as the Protestant Revolution, was a movement in the 1... he would often signal this by allowing his beard to grow, showing that he rejected the tradition of the church and perhaps also its stance on clerical celibacy. The longer the beard, the more striking the statement. Sixteenth century beards were therefore suffered to grow to an amazing length . Strangely, this trend was especially marked during Queen Mary's Mary I of England Mary I , also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland ... reign, a time of reaction against protestant reform . At this time the beard was very often made use of as a tooth-pick case. Brantôme tells us that Admiral Coligny ... Gaspard de Coligny Gaspard de Coligny, Seigneur de Chtillon, Admiral of France and Protestant leader, came of a nob ... wore his tooth-pick in his beard. Queen Elizabeth Elizabeth I of England Elizabeth I was Queen of England , Queen of France , and Queen of Ireland ... , succeeding Mary, is said to have disliked beards and therefore established a tax on them. here is an articles about the nature of beards... http://books.google.com/books?id=d2IMAAAAY...8&ct=result ________________________________________________________________________________ _______ So it seems wearing a beard was a matter of style, where you lived, who was in power and yer finances. Ummm..... are you learning more then ya ever wanted to know ta facial hairs???

traveler. Can ya get paid just to travel around the world...then to the stars...then...ok, traveling...just traveling seeing new things, meeting new people...new experiences. not getting bored....by traveling.

although shaving on a deck upon a rolling sea might be a bit of a challenge ey?

1770 - French barber JEAN-JACQUES PERRET writes a treatise called The Art of Learning to Shave Oneself (La Pogonotomie), which gives men advice for using various shaving products and equipment. His book is also the first to originally propose the idea of a "safety razor." LATE 1700s - The PERRET RAZOR is actually manufactured, which is an L-shaped wooden guard that holds a razor blade in place. This will prevent one from cutting too deeply into their skin. Still, it lacks the real "safety" capabilities that everyone wants and needs, and therefore is not considered to be the first true safety razor. This is, however, the beginning of the safety razor’s evolution. Hey from another site found this...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/03/11/botin11.xml 17th-century English life. Whether it is the techniques employed in building military earthworks, or the cost of renting a pensione in 1650s Rome, or the vogue among fashionable Restoration gentlemen for shaving their heads ('in the Turkish mode') before donning their full-bottomed wigs: cumulatively, this richness of quotidian detail provides an exhilarating sense of closeness to the past - almost of eavesdropping on the Verneys' conversations. ...so does that mean guys ya gotta shave yer heads too? ROFLMAO... OK, did I mention I was bored.... from "Barber History" text ....http://books.google.com/books?id=nZ0cTwgjMIgC&pg=PA10&lpg=PA10&dq=shaving+17+th+century&source=web&ots=M6U0hU31b5&sig=nQrA9Jn6E2E_vgSqTJ-ssFpKmUE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result interesting fact on beard history.... Later on, in the 15th century most men in Europe were clean-shaven. But priests often used beards as a signal that they were convinced of the doctrines of Protestant Reformation. The longer the beard, the stronger the signal. After the early 17th century beards were not in fashion anymore at all in Western Europe and America. In 1698 Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, ordere men to shave their beards and collected even a tax on beards, to bring Russia closer to modern Europe. OHHH OHHHH, did you know that shaving was a cause of the Ottman empire collapsing... Yep...at least according to a Mid eastern website... http://www.inter-islam.org/Prohibitions/beard.html (ok, it stated more that the moors were accepting the standards of the West by shaving their beard, then went on to say the empire then fell...the article is trying to get the Islamic men to let their beards grow) YES, I am really REALLY bored.. Ok, back to the question... In urban circles of Western Europe and the Americas, beards were out of fashion after the early 17th century; to such an extent that, in 1698, Peter the Great of Russia levied a tax on beards in order to bring Russian society more in line with contemporary Western Europe.

I was going to send something via a kindly person traveling to PIP this year but, wanted to be sure I am thinking of the right event and such hand it to the right person So anyway Mr Jim will post before too much longer? confirming details

Ok, here is a bit of more information...(can you tell I am a bit bored at the moment? Plentiful supplies of high quality olive oil and barilla ashes (from which they made their alkali) made regions like Castile in Spain and Marseilles in France renowned for the quality of the soap they produced. The method used throughout the Middle Ages and up to the 17th century consisted of boiling olive oil (in Mediterranean countries) or animal fats (in Northern Europe) with an extract of plant ashes and lime. In the 16th century, three broad varieties of soap were available: coarse soap made from train oil (extracted from whale blubber), sweet soap from olive oil and speckled soap from tallow. For a while, the making of speckled soap was forbidden, not simply because it smelt so bad but because its manufacture would deplete the nation’s tallow reserves, thereby driving up the cost of candles beyond the reach of the poor. As a result, soap was heavily taxed and became a luxury item only readily available to the rich. Eventually, market forces virtually eliminated sweet and speckled soaps, despite the difficulty of making an odourless coarse soap. Understandably, it wasn’t long before perfumed soaps were introduced from Italy. In the early 17th century, chemists and soap manufacturers began to address the problems confronting the soap industry. Their combined efforts over the next 150 years produced an understanding of the chemistry involved, resulting in greater manufacturing efficiency, a wider variety of more fragrant and colourful solid (and liquid) soaps, and milder soaps for use on the finest lace and linens. The industry thrived.

It used to come from an area between Ghana and Cameroon, and mainly from Nigeria, the Republic of Benin and Togo. Although Brazil has always imported also other soaps, such as russian soap, american soap, Marseille soap (from France) or english soap - there are records in the Brazilian National Archive - the Da Costa Soap, has always been the favorite one among slaves and freedmen. Among the iai�s, the success was not different. The texture of the skin of their mucamas was widely envied by them. They all wanted to use the same "savon" soap, in french - (after all "everything" was French - in Brazil, at the time) but they preferred a savonette, a "savon of toilette. " a toilette soapbar. And to do this the mucamas needed to change the scent of the original Da Costa Soap. How to do it? It was not that difficult. Usually, during the night, gardens of Casa Grande (manor) in the coffe plantation farms - used to emanate diverse and delicious aromas of so different flowers. There were so many that it was difficult to pick: Jasmine? Manac�s? Rosemary? Or maybe Almecegueiras? Magnolias? Oh, ok; a few petals of patchouli . And voil�! The mixture was then applied to the Da Costa Soap; that then yes, was appreciated by the nhanh�s. And the scented Da Costa Soap used to show up. According to Gilberto Freyre in his universal work, "Master and Slaves", it was the Muslim slaves - due to their hygiene habits who introduced the custom of bathing in Brazil. And after slavery abolition they began to sell such soap to the population of Brazil - in general. Traditional or scented ones. Initially, on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, then capital of the republic. And then throughout our country, Brazil. here is another link that you might find interesting http://www.springerlink.com/content/xhmx76pgea1b9ka8/
