Open Shop Thursday

Wolf and Nora came over on Thursday for open shop night.  Wolf has been working on some vambraces.  He had them cut out and had the edges beveled and burnished, so we were ready to soak them in glue and bake in the oven.







Note that this pattern is very similar to recent archaeological finds:

Nora was working on a new dress for Candlemas or some future event, with help from Wyllow.  Toner was trying to help too.
