I've absolutely loved making these! Hand painted leather bookmarks featuring some marginalia ( you know it's bad when you cam do the rabbits without reference material π€£) These (and lots more) will be on sale at Arundel Castle for the medieval skirmish event this weekend! Would love to see you there! #historicalreenactment #history #reenactor #reenactors #reenactment #medievalhistory #medievalreenactment #medievalpeople #reenactment #reenactors #medievalworld #medievalclothes #medieval #medievalwoman #armour #knight #medievalart #art #historicalart #painted #custom #bespoke #illumination #calligraphy #marginalia #bookmarks #bookstergram #books #booktok
This style of arrowhead with the curved/crescent tip was used for hunting smaller game, specifically birds. It needed to be wider while still pointy and sharp to find its way under the feathers. These are particularly good fun and a welcome challenge from the usual bodkin points! blacksmith #blacksmithing #smith #handmade #crafts #handmadecrafts #metal #metalworking #steel #heritage #workshops #dungeonsanddragons #archery #arrows #arrowhead #arrowheads #history #historical #reenactment #reenactor #historicalreenactment #medievalhistory #medievaljobs #medievalpeople #medievalworld #historicalart

Barbed broadhead - This style of arrowhead was commonly used throughout the middle ages primarily for large game hunting such as deer, or boar. The two sharp barbs either side of the arrowhead would prevent it from falling back out once it hit its target. Even if the hunter couldn't drop the animal in one shot, it made it much easier to follow the trail and retrieve his quarry as well as his arrowheads. blacksmith #blacksmithing #smith #handmade #crafts #handmadecrafts #metal #metalworking #steel #heritage #workshops #dungeonsanddragons #archery #arrows #arrowhead #arrowheads #history #historical #reenactment #reenactor #historicalreenactment #medievalhistory #medievaljobs #medievalpeople #medievalworld #historicalart

Getting your ass handed to you reminds you you've got an ass! Bright side of things right? XD It's only fair I go out and get hit whilst I'm trying to sell armour, the point is at least you'll look good if you do go down! π π βοΈβοΈβοΈ #historicalreenactment #history #reenactor #reenactors #reenactment #medievalhistory #medievalreenactment #medievalpeople #reenactment #reenactors #medievalworld #medievalclothes #medieval #battle #medievalwoman #armsandarmour #armour #knight #knights #medievalart #art #historicalart #shields #painted #custom #bespoke #helmet #illumination #calligraphy
The shield!! Creation of a lion for Chris was wonderful to do! I had to do some minor patchwork of the canvas over the steel plate but that didn't interfere with getting this all done! I'm getting rather fond of this blue it is lovely isn't it? π Commissions are open! Please message me if you want any work done!

π’ ah! What's this!? Another helm! Indeed it is π I'm going through a spate of producing 13th century paintwork- and I'm loving it! Here's another helm for Chris, in his fantastic blue and yellow -a stand out spiral fit for Sir Gregory! Tomorrow I'll post the shield it accompanies- it might just be one of my best yet π€π€ My commissions are open! I'm on such a roll right now and I'd love to do more! ππ #historicalreenactment #history #reenactors #reenactment #medievalhistory #medievalreenactment #medievalpeople #reenactment #reenactors #medievalworld #medievalclothes #medieval #battle #medievalwoman #armsandarmour #armour #knight #knights #medievalart #art #historicalart #shields #painted #custom #bespoke #helmet #illumination #calligraphy #helmet #helm #paintedarmour

Here's what I've been missing... A little less than a month from now camp will be back up for skirmish at Arundel castle. I'll have a display of calligraphy and illumination with some bits to sell (when I'm not being hit with swords βοΈ) It'd be great to see you! #historicalreenactment #history #reenactors #reenactment #medievalhistory #medievalreenactment #medievalpeople #reenactment #reenactors #medievalworld #medievalclothes #medieval #battle #medievalwoman #armsandarmour #armour #knight #knights #medievalart #art #historicalart #shields #painted #custom #bespoke #helmet #illumination #calligraphy
Scaling up! Templates make repeating patterns e.g double lions on heraldry easier especially on a curving surface e.g a shield or helm. The next step is scaling down, we need some eeny weeny lions for ailettes! The jokes on me though, the big lion isn't big enough π€¦ββοΈπ€‘ Tags: #historicalreenactment #history #reenactors #reenactment #medievalhistory #medievalreenactment #medievalpeople #reenactment #reenactors #medievalworld #medievalclothes #medieval #battle #medievalwoman #armsandarmour #armour #knight #knights #medievalart #art #historicalart #shields #painted #custom #bespoke #helmet #illumination #calligraphy

Wonderful research day out yesterday with @lvhicks8 and scholars from @mems_ukc, Southampton History, @cburycathedral and @cccu_history! Thinking through the Canterbury registers and what they can tell us about memory, archives, land, food, climate, people and place - great conversations. Prior Eastry's Mind Palace? Watch this space!

Thought I'd just post how proud I am of the staying power of this paintwork. These shields have been through the wars I promise you! Poor Nic here does get hit quite hard π but looks at the paintwork! The top coat I use absorbs impacts meaning scuffs rather than chips meaning only touch ups to your design!

I was delighted to be part of this volume by writing its introduction (in which I manage to work in Austenβs Northanger Abbey). I think it would be fun to use in a medieval survey, possibly as a springboard to an assignment for students to write similar βportraits.β Some of my historical fiction writing friends might also find it of interest. #medieval #medievalpeople #middleages #biography #portrait #historicalfiction #heloise #gisela #otloh #havoise #boris
Out in the wild! A battered heater given some tlc in the form of a fresh chevron and addition of some stars and a friendly martlet! I'm sure this won't last long given the previous treatment if this shield but I'm so pleased to see it out before it's demolished! Want your shield painted?

'A Goldsmith in his Shop' by Petrus Christus is believed to show the virtuous way of life (in the interior) and its antithesis (on the exterior, reflected in a cracked mirror), so it shouldn't be perceived strictly as a documentation of everyday life. However, I wouldn't reject the possibility that the interaction between a goldsmith and his customers has something to do with the real social cues in the 15th century. A man putting his arm around his love interest - nothing we haven't seen before and even a gesture still in use. A goldsmith exchanging glances with his customers - today probably something so obvious that we do it without the awareness while selling or buying something; but is it that common in the Old Masters' paintings ? And finally, a remarkable proximity between the characters. It looks as if a wealthy couple invaded the craftsman's space. If so, this could indicate that the relationship between 3 people goes beyond what's formal. I see... Shouldn't every goldsmith aspire to belong to the same confraternity (for the vips) as his customers from the upper nobility ?
