Rumba Rue Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Hey Rumba. I noticed that you didn’t have a graphical signature, but you had such great pictures from Tiger. So I went ahead and made you one. I can alter it or add to it if you don’t like it, but I think it turned out neat. <3 Uh....uh....uh....I don't know what to say....but I sure am laughing like an idiot (oh shut up out there!) over it.....never had a banner.....uh....uh....ok.....it's cool. Scary though.....gads it might end up the dang magazine! Thank you 1stMateMatt, when I see you at Pyrate Con I'll be sure and plant a big one on you.....course I didn't say what the big one will be....
1stMate Matt Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 That is awesome. I WANT ONE TOO! Ok. Your next. Glad you like it Miss Rumba. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop
1stMate Matt Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Didn't know what you would want. I put this together. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop
Rick Skinner Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I made this baldric last year. It's 2 3/4" wide and is loosely based on illustrations of period baldrics, frogs and sword belts. However, after reading BlackJohn's article, I’m making a sword belt like the French accoutrement belts.
LadyBarbossa Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Very nice, Matt! Very eye catching. That be two great banners from ye for two great pirate lasses. Oh, and I LOVE the black heart necklace used in the banner. Where can I obtain it? I WANT! Oooo... Skinner. Tis a very fine baldric. Ye'll make folks drool and whimper in want. Careful that they don't attempt to procure it from ye one way or another. Ok... added and edited bit here. FINALLY finished another item. Here is a white satin shirt I've been working on and finally finished. It's got the ruffles in the front and ruffles on the sleeves. The sleeves are trimmed with a type of tatting lace and french knots. Now... on to other projects. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBarbossa Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Alrighty, not meaning to double post so to speak. But... I have my new crimson hat 95% finished. Just need to add a few more feathers and stitch down the black trim a bit more. But otherwise, it's done. And I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. It's exactly how I wanted it to look (but a little bigger than I wanted it to be, but that's ok). Here it be, mate! top view bottom view head shot (yes, quarky look) ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Rumba Rue Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Now that's really big hat..... Where ever did you find such a hat? Looks great!
LadyBarbossa Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Believe it or not, RumbaRue... I made it. No, I didn't kill another pirate for it. The blood would have ruined the velvet. and yes.. it's a VERY big hat. Ye'll see it when I'm down there at PyrateCon. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Iron Bess Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Well done!!! I feel better already not being the only Pirate with a hat the size of Rhode Island! Great work lass, you'll be a hit I know Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Cascabel Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I feel better already not being the only Pirate with a hat the size of Rhode Island! I think a lot of us would wear big hats if we could find 'em !!! "He must be the captain. He's got the biggest hat !!" >>>> Cascabel
Iron Bess Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 "He must be the captain. He's got the biggest hat !!" >>>> Cascabel ROTDLMAO!! Cascabel, I adore you! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
MadL Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I think a lot of us would wear big hats if we could find 'em !!! "He must be the captain. He's got the biggest hat !!" >>>> Cascabel so tis not the size of one's blade...? *clink* *clink* *clink* *clink* *CLUNK!* ....all for not ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
LadyBarbossa Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Well, th' Captain has a grand sword, too. I believe I posted somewhere else (the arsensal thread) a picture of m' weapons. The every coveted dragoon saber and the pistol... both freakin' huge. Aye, Bess! But I know many a lass who would kill for yo'r hat. Granted, I won't kill ye for th' hat. No matter HOW much I want an' desire it. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
1stMate Matt Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I know that it has been forever but I finnaly changed the picture like you asked Lady Blackheart. next ? -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop
Black Hearted Pearl Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Well, thank ye, mate. If we're ever in the same port, I'll buy ya a drink. And as many seamen will tell ya, I'm no lady. They call me captain. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
LadyBarbossa Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I think a lot of us would wear big hats if we could find 'em !!! Well... Cascabel... I've been pondering about making hats similar to the one I made and a couple others. I need to do another prototype or two though. Plenty out there that are wool or fur felt or straw... but not many hats out there that are other fabrics. And yes, it's difficult as the devil! But all in all in the end... the hats are fantastic! But the real test will come soon enough on how well it holds up. After all... it's made with velvet fabric. Who knows... perhaps in a year... I'll have custom fancy hats possible. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
LadyBarbossa Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Wow this got tossed pretty low in the stack. :) Welp, here I be bringing it back up again. My new crimson velvet frock coat, mates. Gold trim with black trim to the brass buttons on the front, cuffs, mock pocket flaps and two brass buttons in the back at the split. Tis not totally finished as I have to add on the finishing touch and that's the embroidery. I'm still working on that... albeit slowly. Shall debut this fine coat at Port Washington Pirate Festival in a couple weeks. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Cut-throat Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Wow, LadyBarbossa, that coat looks great. Very regal !
Iron Bess Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 SWEET!! Some one will try and Pirate that off you, I'm certain! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Quartermaster James Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Finally I get some pictures! (Where do all those pictures people are always taking go?) That's me carrying my colours from the other thread.
LadyBarbossa Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Why, thank ye, Cutthroat. A coat befitting for a Lady? Oh, they can try, Iron Bess. They can try! Be difficult when I have my pistols and sword and knife and cat-o-nines. Very nice, James! Galant crew! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
LadyBarbossa Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Aye. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
