Links

Back from Winter Weekend. Yay to catching up with people. Need more sleep.

Finished handwoven satchel now. Pictures at some point. Suspect it will be lined in canvas or lighter linen at some point, but it is usable now.

Random cool links I just found:

Kopert: Medieval book binding. Latest post (as of today) is on some extant 15th C tablet weaving, but earlier posts focus on book binding, especially 15th C (her focus I think).

Medieval gunpowder research group: Fire pots and firearrows (pdf). Middelaldercentret gunpowder guys playing :). More report from them linked off here (which advertises a very cool sounding conference on "Trebuchet to Cannon: Military Technology 1000-1600" which was on over the past week - REALLY would like to see the conference proceedings of that one).

Sleep soon would be sensible, but at least tomorrow doesn't involve getting into work.

While I remember, sandhi, Schappe Silk the one you had used i.e. an ok silk for (beginner silk) tablet weaving?
