after a first PIP..

10. You didn't find it odd to be asked "do you have an actual home" ( yes i was asked this)

9. you wish that the sun would rise in the morning with waves instead of snow

8. you turn off all the lights in the house and light candle laterns instead

7. you are still trying to figure out where the pieces of coral are.....

6. you really miss calling out how are ye mate...or luv whiche'er ye use

5. coffee is just not right out a modern pot in cermaic mugs ( where is the pewter and the wee bit o sand?????)

4. staying up at night without 100 other pirates just doesnt seem right

3. ye ha'e a hankering for the smell of campfires and food cooked over one

2. ye miss the snoring of the camp early in the morn after most have just gotten to sleep after pyrating all night

1. 5 ye have already signed the articles for next year and are making more kit

and 1. ye think back on all the folks ye have met and wish you could buy that island with afort and do this all the time to be closer together

another holiday season is afoot....and let us not forget the grand tradtion of fruit cakes....

or puddings.

would thay have had anything speical in the ships to perpare for the holidays??????

congratulagous lass....it is a journy

for my part foget the tropical island.....would nae mind a fully armed ship of the coast o Scotland though

the holiday blend at the local coffee shop.....chocolate hazelnut coffee......guess its as good away not to add on the pounds and still get the flavours

congratulaagous mate

meself i did not quit make the marks i wanted....but still in the running

Aye yahoo.com will let ye host a site fer about 10 dollars a year.

the PMC is nice but practice with it for sizing of pir=eces before going all out with it on an important project. i have a book that i picked up at a clay conference and will post the title asap.

fer meself i would like to get back into cutting stone and castings.....thinking about taking a jewelry class again.

on starting a business, do as you can and search out what people will purchase.....no matter how much you like your work if the public will not buy it there is no point.

Salty picks up her mug and her sketch pad

on board and gifting, the package should be going out early next week....ish

seeing friends old and new......

waking up before sunrise and watching it rise on the beach

finnally making it over to the fort

hm i still like the concept of:

consider them to be more like guidlines

bugger all...feel bad fer the wee ones

aye,

i'll sign the articles here, as I sit and sip a cuppa breakfast tea and rock the wee lad asleep.

i apprenticed to a silver smith many years ago and have set stone and made chains. I have a fossilized ammonite that I am working on designing a setting for, since the back is fire opal and displays lovely fire. Far too pretty to cover in a solid setting.

I have been designing jewerlly much longer then I have done pottery and it is probably my first love. Tims and cost have prohibited me setting up a full studio for that as well.

Anyways back to the desinging of this particular piece. The fossle is about 2 inches, roughly diameter and as i mentioned has lovely opal fire in the back as well as the impint of the beastie's shell. the front is cut flat and highly polished. I am thinking a loosly formed "net" to capture and hold the piece to a chain.

ideas would be welcome to be chatted upon.

"what if jesus came back like that" kris kritoferson (sp) makes me ponder how a sciety can become so matrialistc as to not give a damn to people dying in front front of them. especally at o holiday time that boasts good will towards men and peace

just my twa pence

this is deeply saddining and distresing

if this has been discoursed on before i apologize now. however i am still trying to tie togeter points of navigation and cartography. and since I canae find a topic on it, figured to start one.

I have been seeking reproduction charts that would be PC and without a care of which nation produced them. It is rather hard to search for somethign when you are not sure where to start. Obvisouly charts and maps have been around for along time and used for navigation. How good they were was another story and that is what interests me the most. How were the charts produced? was it taking a little bit of information and conjecture from there, or did they send survey ships out first and hope they come back?

anyway i will keep searching out information to share as I find it, and hope that anyone with information will share it as well

hm supposedly we a civilized folk in a society that would never stand for such atrocities......mayhapthere are some redeeming features of not be "civilized" so much hanging em served as a diterent back then, might do so now

salty

hmmmmmmmm i was told there would be NO math involved in this...........ach well love it when university decides that a tuesday is really a friday ................

at the moment, just wanting the term to be at an end.....other then that kinda feel washed up, perhaps tis just the day rainy & grey. normally I dinae mind the grey tones of winter. like everyone else it comes and goes with the territory. perhaps a change of sernery will do good

peasce all

the gunner..... he left the site in my address bar. the rest is my fault

aye,

but he does it so well, and with love.......

ach did i type that outloud

salty stumbles off with a murmur bout getting the wee one a bottle

red highlights is the closest i can claim though i have the temper to prove them real...

hmmmmmmmm what i can afford of occasion, cap'n morgans tattoo or spice rum , or honey mead

what i'd like in it glenfiddich, or glenmorgan.......but a bottle of either, now that be a once every few years treat

couse whilst i have a tankard, have yet to be carrying about a flask, though after this term i may well start

methinks coffee soon, less me ears are decieving me

ach well,

i still have a favour of a certain short cruved hanger with a iron hilt and full tang. short but lighter then most in a fight.

will have to look that one up ......sounds like a good reading...thanks for bringing it to attention

" not all treasure is silver and gold" probably the only good quote from the movie....but an apt one.....when will the world see the good in the "not glamous side of archeaology"????????
