We have not specifically designed which dalmaticas he wants yet, we will work on that Saturday morning. I do have some overall color combinations for the outfits that His Highness is looking for: blue and black with gold accents black and gold white with purple accents I am open to using embroidered and beaded panels as well, as long as we can document what we do. The garments themselves are relatively easy to create, so the weaving/beading/embroidery will be what really makes these outfits shine. My first concern will be getting his garments done for Coronation, of course.

I forgot to tell you all the Gerita and Galen came down and helped me shear Nell, our best Rambouillet. I wish I had gotten pictures to share with you all. Much fun was had, and a few bruises. It was great to meet some people from the list. Galen popped in the next day for a wee bit and I gave her a quick spinning lesson and sent her off with fiber and spindle to practice. I sheared the nastiest sheep yesterday. 2 years worth of growth and so matted there was often just a cm or so between the skin and the mat where I could cut. But I'm glad I did it, those poor things needed some help, and I am going to be bossy and tell their owner how to better manage his herd. I made one ewe so mad she'd head butt me every time I tried to clip her. I will get to shear 2 fresh and clean baby llamas and they are going to humor me and let me see what if anything I can get of the camel!! For those who play scrabble or collect trivia - a baby llama is a cria. To make a camel 'chus' is to make the camel lie down.

People, finding bits of your friends scattered around their paddock is no way to come in, in the morning. Yes, the park is fenced. *HOWEVER* there are several low spots where dogs can get in. Fresh lamb to a hungry dog is just fair game. Sheep have absolutely no natural defenses, at *all*! (thanks to several thousands of years of selective breeding by humans) I've seen the carriage house stable, and it is comfortably large for two Mammoth Jacks to live in it. But, its not designed or laid out for sheep. They really do need their own barn. I agree with Garita.......if anyone can think of a way to get the barn built....please, speak up! If we can raise money for fireworks, however beautiful they will be, we should be able to raise cash for this and perhaps a kind word about the Society's donation. (my thanks to Kestral, the spindle and wool are by my finally-sit-down-at-night, chair and I'm still working on it.) anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I'm perfectly willing to bring hammer and saw(s) to pitch in. If Habitat for Humanity can build a house with volunteers....perhaps we can build a barn?

We have not specifically designed which dalmaticas he wants yet, we will work on that Saturday morning. I do have some overall color combinations for the outfits that His Highness is looking for: blue and black with gold accents black and gold white with purple accents I am open to using embroidered and beaded panels as well, as long as we can document what we do. The garments themselves are relatively easy to create, so the weaving/beading/embroidery will be what really makes these outfits shine. My first concern will be getting his garments done for Coronation, of course.

Ya might look at Early Decorative Textiles by Paul Hamlyn (I have it if you wish to borrow it...) and The Roman Textile Industry and it's Influence (David Brown/Oxbow has it for a good price...ya can borrow it too....)

Okay...we'll all need some specs...like how long and wide...are you doing the really long ones or the two from the top and two from the bottom...do you need specific colours? For some of the rondels/squares you might be able to get by with tapestry fabric...I've seen some at the high end stores cary tapestry fabric that has rondels with roman-like designs. I don't know if my tablet weaving is up to par enough yet...I haven't gotten DF down yet...but I'd be willing to weave plain bands (or supply appropriate fabric) and embroider them appropriately....

I forgot to tell you all the Gerita and Galen came down and helped me shear Nell, our best Rambouillet. I wish I had gotten pictures to share with you all. Much fun was had, and a few bruises. It was great to meet some people from the list. Galen popped in the next day for a wee bit and I gave her a quick spinning lesson and sent her off with fiber and spindle to practice. I sheared the nastiest sheep yesterday. 2 years worth of growth and so matted there was often just a cm or so between the skin and the mat where I could cut. But I'm glad I did it, those poor things needed some help, and I am going to be bossy and tell their owner how to better manage his herd. I made one ewe so mad she'd head butt me every time I tried to clip her. I will get to shear 2 fresh and clean baby llamas and they are going to humor me and let me see what if anything I can get of the camel!!

People, finding bits of your friends scattered around their paddock is no way to come in, in the morning. Yes, the park is fenced. *HOWEVER* there are several low spots where dogs can get in. Fresh lamb to a hungry dog is just fair game. Sheep have absolutely no natural defenses, at *all*! (thanks to several thousands of years of selective breeding by humans) I've seen the carriage house stable, and it is comfortably large for two Mammoth Jacks to live in it. But, its not designed or laid out for sheep. They really do need their own barn. I agree with Garita.......if anyone can think of a way to get the barn built....please, speak up! If we can raise money for fireworks, however beautiful they will be, we should be able to raise cash for this and perhaps a kind word about the Society's donation. (my thanks to Kestral, the spindle and wool are by my finally-sit-down-at-night, chair and I'm still working on it.) anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I'm perfectly willing to bring hammer and saw(s) to pitch in. If Habitat for Humanity can build a house with volunteers....perhaps we can build a barn?

We have not specifically designed which dalmaticas he wants yet, we will work on that Saturday morning. I do have some overall color combinations for the outfits that His Highness is looking for: blue and black with gold accents black and gold white with purple accents I am open to using embroidered and beaded panels as well, as long as we can document what we do. The garments themselves are relatively easy to create, so the weaving/beading/embroidery will be what really makes these outfits shine. My first concern will be getting his garments done for Coronation, of course.

I forgot to tell you all the Gerita and Galen came down and helped me shear Nell, our best Rambouillet. I wish I had gotten pictures to share with you all. Much fun was had, and a few bruises. It was great to meet some people from the list. Galen popped in the next day for a wee bit and I gave her a quick spinning lesson and sent her off with fiber and spindle to practice. I sheared the nastiest sheep yesterday. 2 years worth of growth and so matted there was often just a cm or so between the skin and the mat where I could cut. But I'm glad I did it, those poor things needed some help, and I am going to be bossy and tell their owner how to better manage his herd. I made one ewe so mad she'd head butt me every time I tried to clip her. I will get to shear 2 fresh and clean baby llamas and they are going to humor me and let me see what if anything I can get of the camel!! For those who play scrabble or collect trivia - a baby llama is a cria. To make a camel 'chus' is to make the camel lie down.

OK, I'm REALLY gonna make Kestrel go red, now. Remember, she started this! People, those sheepies she keeps talking about have no barn to sleep in.

If anyone, anywhere can think of a fun way to raise that barn roof, please 'spill it'.

People, finding bits of your friends scattered around their paddock is no way to come in, in the morning. Yes, the park is fenced. *HOWEVER* there are several low spots where dogs can get in. Fresh lamb to a hungry dog is just fair game. Sheep have absolutely no natural defenses, at *all*! (thanks to several thousands of years of selective breeding by humans) I've seen the carriage house stable, and it is comfortably large for two Mammoth Jacks to live in it. But, its not designed or laid out for sheep. They really do need their own barn. I agree with Garita.......if anyone can think of a way to get the barn built....please, speak up! If we can raise money for fireworks, however beautiful they will be, we should be able to raise cash for this and perhaps a kind word about the Society's donation. (my thanks to Kestral, the spindle and wool are by my finally-sit-down-at-night, chair and I'm still working on it.) anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I'm perfectly willing to bring hammer and saw(s) to pitch in. If Habitat for Humanity can build a house with volunteers....perhaps we can build a barn?
