<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi Maria!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> I am running the DFT Artisan
competition, and I'll be glad to answer any questions you have. Ceinwen
and Darius hit the nail on the head. I chose to do a body of work
competition so that we can see all aspects of what an artisan can do. Take
Ceinwen's example. She is showing the best of everything that she has done
(limited to a max of six items for our competition), which is a variety of
things. But you don't have to be as varied as that--take myself as an
example. My body of work lies within one area--cooking. So when I
display at a body of work competition, I display different areas and techniques
within my specialty. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Documentation is not always
required for all competitions. We like to see documentation to see that
the artisan is attempting to recreate their art from our time period or to show
that the techniques they used were used in our time period. Ask Darius
about finding documentation for a Dremel tool.... :-) If you search hard
enough, you can find documentation for almost anything we do. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> I hope this helps. I
look forward to seeing you at Yule Revel!</FONT></DIV>

<P>Oh, Ok, thanks for the information! </P>
<P>Do they require documentation for all your pieces?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Maria,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>That is not a dumb question. A "body of work" is
usually a
<DIV></DIV>>collection of
<DIV></DIV>>articles showing what the artist has done over a period of
time.
<DIV></DIV>>For the
<DIV></DIV>>Dragonsfire Tor Artisan Competition, they ask for articles
that have
<DIV></DIV>>been
<DIV></DIV>>made with the past two years.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>As an example, if I were to display, I would show some of my
best
<DIV></DIV>>pieces of
<DIV></DIV>>scroll work, leather work, weaving, banners that I've
painted,
<DIV></DIV>>needlework
<DIV></DIV>>and costuming.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>In service,
<DIV></DIV>>Ceinwen~
