I've ben a bad LJ-member again, apparently. Life is as it usually is at this time of the year: too much work (for my consitution) and a flare in my arthritis making things harder to handle. I still can't knit and I notice that I spend too much time playing silly puzzle games on the computer, because I don't have teh mental energy to come up with more interesting things to do. I've made four scrolls., but can't show them yet, and I also made a new interpretation of the 13th century pleated fillet, which I will take photos of and blog about eventually. I also made a new mundane skirt, because I am too fat for most of my skirts.
And I made a box for one of the painted glasses I made for the baron and baroness of Gotvik I will make another one as soon as I have more plywood.
You can read much more about pinted boxes in general, and this one in particular over in Eva's historical costuming blog.
But now I need something new and interesting to do today. Something that doesn't take a lot of thinking, because with all the pain, my brain is exhausted and rather slow. Writing blog posts with photos from my trip to Bologna is about as complicated as it gets now.
I've made a few this far:
Sculptures, paintings and bones in the Basilica di San Pietro
9-13th century Ivory carvings
Wood and ivory boxes
men's underpants
13th century aquamanile and candlestick
Depictions of 14th century students
And that can be done while listening to audio books. Rickard and I are going through "The lost hero" by Rick Riordan right now, after finishing the first series of Percy Jackson books. I have read them all, but it was a couple of years ago, and Rickard hasn't, and it's really nice doing this together.
Maybe I'll finish that pencil skirt that I cut out over six months ago. I sould rather do some caaligraphy and illumination, but I've run out of pergamanata, and now you can't get anywhere in Sweden, since the shop in Stockholm who sold it has stopped.
So maybe I will make a skirt. Or sort my shoes, putting away the summer shoes and takign out the autumn/winter ones.
