The things, they have been building up:

First ever (really?) prehistoric fashion show. I so hope photos end up online.

Sixteen-bedroom Tuscan castle for sale. We could all chip in…

What does a Renaissance man wear? from Midori Snyder. Writing fiction is a wonderful excuse to research anything.

Mastercrafts: Learning to weave as reality television, from Katrin Kania.

I haven’t watched this video on medieval Icelandic textiles yet; I’m saving it for later and sharing it with you in a single step.

Maybe this will break the dead spell, and I’ll be back to tell you about tomatoes, kittens, delightful visiting textile craftspeople, peonies and roses. We’ll see.

    That could easily be a Fiend castle!

    Tomatoes and kitties? Yes please! As well as delightful visits of textile people, those are always nice to hear about :)

    I love that the castle comes with its own skeleton!
    Let us know should pictures of the prehistoric fashion show become available – I’d love to see those!

    (As a kid, I wanted to become an archaeologist and historian – now I am an ecologist….)

      I always wanted to be an ecologist, and now I dabble in archaeology and history as well. :)

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
