ANST - Documentation (was Brewing competition results...)

[Donald Riney]

As an Artisan who activly displays and occasionally wins a competition 
or two, (2nd Dragons Tire Tor and the last Wolfstar A&S) this is a 
really good description of what my docs look like. Typicaly if your 
doing a period style work, you have done a little resaerch so that you 
know that it _is_ period style. Write it down.

>Documentation is your proof that you are making things in a period 
style 
>using close to period methods.  It doesn't mean you have to pick 
something 
>that actually existed in period and copy it.  I've talked to several 
laurels about 
>documentation and A&S competitions.  A few suggestions for 
documentation 
>are:
>
>Have a 1 page summary in your own words explaining what you did.  
Explain 
>what part of the work is period and why you did things differently.  
Explain 
>your reasoning behind making changes from period.
>
>If it's a major project, keep a log of how long it took, mistakes made, 
and what 
>you learned while doing the project.
>
>Attach supporting documentation to back up your summary.  List a 
>bibliography.
>
>This is all speaking from someone who isn't an artisan but wants to 
learn 
>enough about arts to give largesse on a better basis than "It looks 
pretty."
