Seven Thought Provoking Essays In Chapter Form on the subject of Participating in Historical Events and Maintaining Historical Venues in General
Observations on pre-1840's venues (muzzleloader shoots, rendezvous, time-lines, 18th & 19th century juried historical camps and trade faires), as well as, the more formal historic sites (actual military forts i.e. Ft. Ticonderoga, Ft. Loudon TN, Ft. Frederick MD; Trade Depots i.e. Grand Portage MN, Bents Old Fort) and historic residences (Locust Grove, KY, Martin's Station, VA) and the differences in participating at either type of venue. The insights gathered about participation range from planning to implementing the camp administration; from drafting the rules of the camp to enforcing those rules. In one essay the author links the subjects of "credibility" with the idea of "believability." Also addressed is the subject of why it is important for the beginner to meet the challenge of thresholds for a particular camp/venue, especially if the organizers of a venue want authentically clad and accoutered participants. To quote, "A well run event will leave the beginner with the feeling that he has hit the historical jackpot." Other issues which are commonly encountered include the rules which are enacted by organizers to provide guidance but are unfortunately seen by outsiders as "picky." In the material the reader can see that following the rules to keep modern intrusions out of our own personal and camp portrayals shows respect for our neighbors as participants in an historical venue. The author further engages the reader in a discussion of the misuse of terms such as "costume," when referring to period clothing. To wrap up the collection of essays there are some thoughts on the effects of isolating one's self from other venues and participants and the problems that it causes. The book is bolstered by an appendix which references the rules of three different tightly run historical venues, two of which are juried. The book is further illustrated with historical sketches by the Author's wife Connie.

Making Things
Making Things champions handmade crafts that infuse the no-waste ethos with glamour and fun. Through easy-to-follow tutorials for over 100 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Making Things invites readers to try their hands at a variety of crafts and celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully creating for oneself. Learn to fold magazine pages into Masu Boxes for organizing bits and bobs, make a cardboard loom for weaving potholders out of old linens, braid your own Kumihimo Dog Leash, or starch fabric scraps for decorative bunting. Makers Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle met in 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship, united by a reverence for everyday objects. Their approach towards craft reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and accessibility - as they write in Making Things' introduction, "Craft can be exquisite and exacting, the result of formal training and years of practice, but it can also be experimental and messy and not quite perfect." Scouring sidewalks, stoops, and thrift stores, the authors repurpose materials to create projects that range from functional to fun and frivolous. Step-by-step guides make it simple to start and finish each project, while the book's stunning photographs show how each craft can fit within an organized, thoughtfully curated home. As Making Things demonstrates, relying on a limited range of supplies and repurposing the same materials can spur our creativity, encouraging us to look at a pile of junk on a stoop and see endless possibilities.

The Queen's Dolls' House
A new edition of Lucinda Lambton's guided tour of The Queen Mary's Doll's House. From simple one-room cottages to multilevel castles, dollhouses have long been treasured by children and adults alike. In an ever-expanding array of sizes and styles, they may be closely modeled on reality or wildly whimsical. Few, however, approach the splendor of the royal dollhouse on display at Windsor Castle. With running water, electricity, two working elevators, and many other delights, there can be no question that this is a dollhouse fit for a queen. This lavishly illustrated volume offers a detailed history of the creation, decoration, and furnishing of this extraordinary dollhouse. Commissioned in the 1920s for Queen Mary and designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, the house is a perfect scale replica of an Edwardian residence, complete in every detail. Its library boasts original works by the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, and Edith Wharton. Its wine cellar is replete with tiny bottles containing thimblefuls of real vintage wine. And, naturally, its tiny residents eschew pink convertibles in favor of the fleet of elegant Rolls Royce limousines housed in the miniature garage. These and hundreds of other charming features are lovingly detailed in color, with extensive use of material from the royal archives, detailing for the first time the contributions of the artists, craftspeople, and donors involved in its creation. This new edition of The Queen's Dolls' House has been completely revised and redesigned, to feature new photography and text that has been updated to include discoveries made following the recent conservation of the Dolls' House. In this book, Lucinda Lambton, the well-known broadcaster and architectural historian, guides the reader on an imaginative tour of this most magical of residences, and her narrative is complemented by documents from the Royal Archives, including previously unpublished letters between Queen Mary and Lutyens and the many contributing artists and manufacturers.

Crafting with Cookie Molds
It's a match! Cookie molds and polymer clay are perfect crafting companions!So says Anne L. Watson, whose earlier books helped spark a cookie molds revival. As Anne has discovered, cookie dough and polymer clay have a lot in common, and a mold made for one will work brilliantly with the other. The mold does the main work of shaping the clay, making you look like an expert every time! And many cookie molds are "bakeable," so that figures come out of the mold perfectly formed and already hardened.Besides that, contemporary cookie molds come in shapes, patterns, and themes that will appeal to polymer clay and mixed media crafters as well as cookie bakers. So, while bakers will find a new use for their molds, crafters will discover countless new designs to grace their projects."Crafting with Cookie Molds" includes everything you need to get started: basic tips and techniques, plus over thirty of Anne's own decorative projects, from beginning to advanced, illustrated with over 170 photos. You'll find Christmas tree ornaments, boxes, baskets, shelf standers, wreaths, gingerbread houses, and more. And if you want to use the very same cookie molds as Anne, they're identified by maker, with notes on where to find them.Welcome to the exciting new world of polymer clay and cookie molds!/////////////////////////////////////////////////Anne L. Watson is the author of "Baking with Cookie Molds" and "Cookie Molds Around the Year," which helped launch the modern revival of interest in cookie molds. She has also written popular books on soapmaking and housekeeping, as well as many novels and children's books. In a previous career, she was a historic preservation architecture consultant. Anne lives with her husband and photographer, Aaron Shepard, in Bellingham, Washington./////////////////////////////////////////////////"Charming . . .

And if you're like me, you don't know what to say. It's a compliment, but it can also feel frustrating.If all your work and skill gives you cookies that can't be eaten, what are you supposed to do with them? Make decorations? Hang them on the wall? Display them on a shelf?Well, yes, that's exactly what you can do -- if you make molded "cookies" out of polymer clay."Cookies" like that can decorate a holiday tree or a wreath. They can adorn a box, a basket, a canister, a candlestick, or any number of other gifts, prized possessions, or common household items. They can even stand on their own, as when made into a planter box or a gingerbread house.Of course, not everyone reading this book has ever made a molded cookie. Maybe instead you're experienced in mixed media or polymer clay, and you're looking for new directions for your craft. Or maybe, as a beginner, you love that a cookie mold could do the hardest part of shaping clay, leaving you to reap the rewards!Whichever side you're coming from -- cookie molds or crafts -- this book will get you off to a good start combining them.
