<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thank you ever so much for the detailed reply and the
attached documentation! This was most helpful to me, as I am accustomed to
having to use proper documentation--I'm in college again after an 11-year
break. Also, what a relief to know that an entry would be critiqued,
rather than thrown out. Critique, in any competition or showcase, is
essential to growth...in my opinion. On the other hand, discarding an
entry would not be encouraging continued participation....or, at least, it would
for me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hoping you have a speedy recovery!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Describing the piece and how you made it are perfect. The
'ideal' is to have the reader be able to go out, in theory, and reproduce your
piece. <BR> <BR>Take care to describe how it would have been done in
period and IF you differed why. For example, I did not use gold leaf in my
illumination because the cost is too high or I did not cook this in stone
oven as my wife would have throttled me if I built one in the
backyard.<BR> <BR>Photographs are always good....of the period example, of
the piece during construction etc.<BR> <BR>Answer who, what, where,
when, why and how. Who would have used it, where would it have been
used, during what period. Why did I do what I did and how did I do
it. <BR> <BR>References from a website are fine. In the
baronial, don't sweat this, but if you intend to ever enter this piece in a
higher level competition, more than one reference is good and books
(primary sources) tend to be better than a website (secondary sources).
<BR><BR>Your entry will NOT be thrown out, you may receive comments from the
judges, but keep in mind, this is a learning experience!!!! Sometimes that
is tough to do, even for those of us who have done this a lot, but it really
is. If you take the good critique to heart and throw out any comments that
are just totally off base, you can take your art to a higher
level.<BR> <BR>I am attaching a copy of the documentation I wrote for my
last piece for the Kingdom A & S competition for your perusal. Not to
brag (REALLY) but I was selected as one of the ten champions to compete for
Ansteorra at Gulf Wars. I say this only so you know that my documentation
doesn't suck. Feel free to use this in anyway helpful to
you.<BR> <BR>Hey, if you have any questions, I am home recovering from some
surgery....call me if you like. 735-3466. I love this whole
"teaching" and "sharing" thing and my job, after all, as the Northern Regional
MOAS is to encourage arts and artisans. This makes me
happy!!!!!!!!<BR> <BR>Melisande<BR> <BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
