Made a couple pair of earrings over the weekend, thought I'd show them off. Red Jasper, Hand Carved Bone, and pewter Sparrows Black Lava, Hand Carved Bone, and Australian Jasper Total time spent: 45 mins I'm waiting on some more materials to come in, so I can continue making swag, an' perhaps start selling it.

Salted! Especially pork! Chain shot or Grape shot?

I've just started Terry Pratchett's Nation. Looks to be a good read.

On me left arm -- Sword standin' as a Celtic Cross, with me family's motto in Latin above an' below. On me back -- Mirrored Sparrows holdin' a memorial banner (LRH 1940-1989) in their beaks. (In honor of me grandpa, 20+ year in the US Navy, passed in 1989)

Lounging

Welcome aboard mate!

Hmmm... Indeed, it seems dear Bartholomew had a taste for the bold... Jen -- I will start looking post haste!

I would think that weddings at sea were rare, if not outright unheard of practice. Seein' as how most o' the population was either Angelican, or Catholic, one would surmise that only the clergy of said churches had the powers to marry a couple. Captains were mostly military men, who had little leeway in the matters of marriage. But that's not to say that it never happened. (In modern times, very few Captains have the power to wed people in a legally binding way.)

I've started working in gold an' silver, and gems an' pearls once again. Sadly, I've gotten stuck on design ideas. Any o' you fine buccaneer folk know where I can find pictures of GAoP era jewelry, or related era pieces. Any help would be appreciated. An' by the by, as soon as I finish me Pearl project, pictures shall be posted!

Sounds like a fine bot o' stock my friend... Mayhap one day, I can sample said items!
