#reprouction

After wandering through the woods we arrived at our destination to sell our little goods we had with us. Quills, buckles, bowls, snuff boxes silk ribbon and so on. After all this was just a fun hike in period clothes.

18th century life: Writing was an essential thing to do like it is today allthough mail has now changed to email and quills are pens today. As a reenactment event is coming up in a few days I decided to make some new quills. To be shure that they are useable I needed to try them out. On the top of the picture you can also see my new original 18th century writing set as well as a 18th century/ early 19th century wax seal.

Drawing inspired by Nattier. I spent way to long fixing it. It's time to stop now. I hope my dear friend (and model here) is happy with the result.

Friday night letter writing

Finishing my 1750s fan. I never thought that such a small accessoire could need so much time to make. Don't worry. The fan leaves will get more colourfull.

Valentinesday is coming up so I decided to write a letter inspired by valtentinesday letters of the 18th and early 19th century. It‘s all written in German „Kurrent“ and can make reading pretty hard. I have actually really fallen in love which this certain fun way of letter folding.
