Begin Transmission

Let's begin the blogging shall we?

I just delivered a chainmail stainless steel tie and belt to a customer yesterday. She was quite happy about them, and I was happy to have made them for her. I am planning on making myself a similar belt now. I just loved the feel of it, and the look is pretty nifty. http://picasaweb.google.ca/4vidar that's a link to my pictures, and you can see the two items there. If you like stuff like that, drop me an email..I can make something for you.

I downloaded a BBC special called "Blood of the Vikings". It's quite a good series so far. I did find myself getting myself worked up a bit when they kept referring to the vikings as the killing, raping bastards all the time, but then realized, they have to do that once in a while to keep people interested. It's a very Christianized special. They kept talking about all the monestaries that the vikings destroyed. And then the narrator and researcher stated that only one monestary actually had anything written about the attack, and the guy who wrote it wasn't even at the monestary. I'll have more to say about this subject in another posting later today.

As for chainmail stuff, I'm working on a bunch of dice bags to hopefully sell at a local gaming store. Takes a while to put together, but it's fun...I guess. I'm looking forward to my next order arriving with more scales. I want to do more clothing stuff in chainmail and scales. Also really looking forward to seeing the colored scales, of which I'll likely use quite a bit.

I'm going to start organizing for a photo shoot for my course and my portfolio. I have to get some consent/disclaimer forms done, figure out a date to do it, book the club for about 2 hours, and get people signed up. I'm still working out the logistics of it all. I have one photo shoot already worked out, just have to get a date to do it.
