Seventeenth Century Fop

Greetings

I recently found an old photo of me in my burgundy wool 17th Century suit.

This was taken many years ago when I still had long hair.

The wool for the suit is about 50 per cent cashmere, so is wonderfully soft.

The suit is trimmed with silver lace, silver and gold twist metal braid and  brass 'turk's head knot' buttons.

Aigletted ribbon points tie the britches to the doublet.

Until next time

Tempest

Greetings

Here is an extra post for this week.

I was looking through images I have kept of my sold work and found this one.

This picture was painted many years ago and I had only just started taking photos of pictures when I sold them.

This is a scan of a photo of the framed picture and is, hence, not as sharp as it might be.

I think I called it " Tempest".

Until next time

Here is my latest mini-sculpture.

These are examples of  Fairae, a Jacobus Vert and  various Draconis Minor.

Here are some close-up shots of the Draconis Minor.

This close-up is of a Fairae and the Jacobus Vert.

Here is my second drawing of a man in armour.

I am quite pleased with this one, especially with the contrast of textures.
