Martin, looks very good indeed.
Linnet uses the same sea shells for her paints. I find that amazingly handy as she gathers them from the Fort Rodd Hill site.I have a scrap piece of parchment that I am saving for a special project. Possibly for a work pass. I was working on making the county seal last year. Passes were issued by the local Sheriffs for labourers moving from one area to another. This design was laid down by a statute of 1388. Around the edge it was to name the county and across the centre the hundred, wapentake or town (2.8 cm across). My site was removed when I moved and I have since put it back up, but not with all the links working. I am redesigning it. I want to make it multi-lingual, and easier to navigate. As it will be taken down and moved again in 2006, I am only puttering at it. Seal page This page has working links.
Fine Writing This info was taken from a book about Secular Hands. I found it most interesting as it dispells the '14thc hand is Blackletter and everyone wrote like this' concept. I am sure you have better books, as that is your area of interest. I have photocopied pages, and photo enlarged them to allow me to 'write' overtop their text. This allows me to practice forming the letters that way. I even started to copy Chaucer's treatise on the Astrolabe onto rag paper. I got a little more than half way through, before discovering the copy I had was missing chapters. It is supposed to be a low quality copy as I don't do illuminations, but there are some line drawings in it. [ 06-18-2004: Message edited by: Woodcrafter ] -------------------- Woodcrafter

I've been cruising the net to see if I could dig something up. We might try leather dressers and bookbinders. I found this link that may be of some assistance.
http://www.hewit.com/index.htm I have contacted them yet, but I thought I'd post their site in the event it goes somewhere. The next link is OLD, but Bookbinders Warehouse was mentioned as well a Cowley.
http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/1988/0024.html Don't know if it helps. Jenn -------------------- ad finem fidelis

Linnet is rather upset about that.
