Capt. Sterling Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 **Sigh** my sketching is getting so bloody rusty but then I suppose tis better that than naked crewmembers...especially my crewmembers..

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

Matusalem Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I have the entire weekend off, so I'm on vacation. Therefore this is the only time I can actually get it done. I kind of got carried away but I had fun. "I christen thy sketchbook from the rocks of Mohegan Bluffs on the southeast coast of Block Island" The book I bought, The box it comes in I made from teak, in the style of hatches of sailing ships, specifically for this project, though not my best work (it has a few nicks from the saw). I did it specifically to contain a number of gravestone rubbings I did, particularly the two below (from Block Island) of Captain Edward Sands (died 1708) and his father James Sands (died 1695)...you know these people knew Captain Kidd because his wife lived on the island.

Ransom Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Matusalem, have you considered how much it is going to cost everyone to mail that box and book? It looks pretty heavy. The book is awesome looking, as is the box, make no mistake about that, but postage for that puppy is going to be pretty steep! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Matusalem Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Matusalem, have you considered how much it is going to cost everyone to mail that box and book? It looks pretty heavy. The book is awesome looking, as is the box, make no mistake about that, but postage for that puppy is going to be pretty steep! Valid question and concern. Today it cost me $6.75 for zone 3 parcel post via USPS, therefore to not put undue hardship on anyone, particularly those mailing from coast to coast, please PM me and I can help out.
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 My sketchbook will be heading out Friday or Saturday. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...

Kate Souris Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Well I tried to mail my book out to pyrateleather today.... Got to the post office at 4:35....4:35....and went inside and they started having a cow that they were closed. Apparently they close at 4:30. The main post office is open till like 5...so I just assumed. But no. There was yelling and hissy fits thrown. So I turned and walked out. And Michael will be taking the book to the post office closer to our house tomorrow to mail.
Lady Seahawke Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Made arrangements with Kate to do a hand off on Saturday for my book.

Patrick Hand Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Ransom's arrived on Wednesday (well my boss picked it up then, but I didn't get it until yesterday......)
Kate Souris Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Michael was kind enough to go to the post office for me today and put my book in the mail.
Lady Seahawke Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Hand off to KATE completed. Just for information, I did the inside cover and first five pages, then did the very last page and inside back cover of my book. NOTE, inside back cover if you want to look at the scrolls pinch the leather on the end push scroll out then pull out the other end. You can then untie the ribbon and look at the miniature sea charts. Same way to put it back in....roll up the charts somewhat tightly, tie ribbon, slide one side into the leather loop, then on the other side pinch the other leather loop and secure the scroll back into place. Also...If anyone needs any information about m'character (yes more hollywood type then not ) just send a gram would be happy to provide information as needed. huzzah!

Lady Seahawke Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 No problem, though I admit I am anxiously awaiting delivery, I do understand RL holdups. IN the meantime... I have seen some of your posted beautiful and skilled artwork. I just hope that I can do your book justice with my own addition.

callenish gunner Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I took a few short cut's of my own work in my book but I won't be doing that in any that I receive from anyone else ....I know what my work looks like so I'm more than willing to put more effort into the books of others than my own...
