New drawing

 Greetings

Here is a new drawing .

I thought I would have a go with pastels.

I have never liked working with pastels or charcoal, much. whilst there are many subtle effects that can be achieved, both media are too fragile; too impermanent.

No matter how many coats of fixative I sprayed on my work and no matter how carefully I covered the work, it seemed only the slightest rub,or touch, on the surface smeared, or blurred, carefully worked effects.

Still- we'll see how long this one survives...

Until next time

Adieu

Another picture from Chalke

 Greetings

Here is another picture of the bishop at Chalke Valley.

This was also taken by Wolfka (WolfKouture on Instagram)

In this picture, the bishop is using his fighting heater shield to explain ecclesiastical heraldry.

Until next time

More Tent Decoration

 Greetings

As well as painting the dags and arcading, I have decorated the eyelet points for the tent cartwheel.

I have done these in gold with different decorations for each of them

Here are the first two.

This one shows a sword and the word "Immunitas". It is one of the two closest to the door and refers to the bishop's Papal immunity to use a sword.

Moving away from the door . this one is a floral design.

I will post more on this subject later.

Until next time

More from Chalke

 Greetings

Here is a picture of the bishop at Chalke Valley (taken by my fellow Paladin, Wolfka- used with permission- see her on Wolfkouture on instagram)

Here, the bishop is sitting next to his gonfalon on St Michael, explaining the charges on his standard.

Until next time

Adieu

Tent decoration

 Greetings

Here are some pictures of the decoration to the dagging round my tent roof.

The white mitre on black alternates with the red mitre on white all the way round, but, as there are twenty-one dags, the papal tiara on red is on the dag at the front.

Until next time

Adieu
