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.

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....

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.

Very nice, Matt! Very eye catching. That be two great banners from ye for two great pirate lasses. :lol:

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. ;)

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!

Believe it or not, RumbaRue... I made it. No, I didn't kill another pirate for it. The blood would have ruined the velvet. :o

and yes.. it's a VERY big hat.

Ye'll see it when I'm down there at PyrateCon. :o

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.

:lol:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why, thank ye, Cutthroat. A coat befitting for a Lady? ;)

:lol:

Oh, they can try, Iron Bess. They can try! Be difficult when I have my pistols and sword and knife and cat-o-nines. :lol:

Very nice, James! Galant crew!
