Lately life has been getting in the way of all the fun things I have been wanting to do and having been promissing other that I would do.  Such things as Trinkets for valuable allies or tokens for trade, not to mention my desire to write rubbish in here every now and then.  Ahhh  Such is life, and as such this post like others before it will be just a general one.

Pewtery goodness is still happening, and lately whilst I have not had as much time as I would like I have created a nice Double Sided token for a friend and used s0ome techniques I have used before but not really described to increase the detail whilst also decreasing the time they took to clean up.  These tokens had a small ring on top of them to allow a string or small chain through, as the raw version of this was rather rough I used a pair of pliers to press the rough shape into a round shape and allow the teeth of the pliers to bite in leaving a nice knurled finish.  (Stay tuned for Photo’s next week.)

Last weekend I went for a drive which turned out a little longer than I thought because of my bad planning and lack of fore-thought.  I headed down to Ballarat to join the members of Stormhold, Arrowsreach and Cairnfel in their annual Survey expedition.  Walking into the event I was amazed but nut surprized at the authentic feel and beauty of the site.  With a small pine forrest seperating alot of the mundanities from the campsite, there was both lots of natural shade and a feel that we were away from everything.  The food was good and the company great, I meet some old friends and made some new ones, all in all a fantastic weekend.  I really enjoyed the event and wish to thank the hosts and organisers Ava, Hrothgar, Eleanor, Hanbal and all the others that helped.  Well done indeed.

And now I must get back to my latest project, one which I much keep quiet until after Canterbury Fair (which I won’t be attending, but which I have been working hard to get stuff ready for.  Til next time, take a huge bite out of life, before life gets a chance to take a huge bite out of you.

P.S. Oh, BTW, the recent change in theme is because I updated the WordPress software on my site and decided it was also time for a change of look…   Hope you all like it, allong with my fun little plugin hack…  I may even attempt more of those plugin hacks to intergrate this site more with Facebook.
