Russian Tea Cakes
Made some little cookies.
Lifted the original recipe from a web comic.
First I spent a couple hours shelling pinon nuts. I always forget how irritatingly slow that goes.
Rolled some in cocoa powder for the second coating and some in a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.


Viking Weave
Did a test chain that ended up becoming a small necklace. Used the old pinball machine solenoid coils again. Only 4 knots per rotation to see how it would come out. Ended up having to make a draw plate, which will be good to have. Did a smaller section with 7 that also worked out well.
Also ended up making a set of beaded earrings that I don't have a photo of.



In Progress List
Trying to keep this up to date with what projects I need to pay attention to so I don't get distracted with something else.
- Military Coat MK I - Test piece. body is pinned, need to add trim and final stitching
- Military coat MK II - Rough sketches, bought fabric
- Wheel Tunic 1 - Not started, bought fabric
- Wheel Tunic 2 - Not started, given fabric, still need black
- Leg harness - Leather cut, need to draw out tooling pattern
- Stonehaven - Need to finish character building and fill it out
- Stonehaven artwork - Concept sketched out, damn close to what I want the final to look like
- Book - Materials gathered, need to pick up some glue
- Ridiculous Chain - Need to find some more wire
- Belt thingy - Have leather, dye, and ring, need to draw tooling pattern again
Still a lot that I'm missing, but this is a good start.
Tonights Project: Clamshell Gauntlets
Decided tonight that I wanted gauntlets, so here's my test piece...


Still need to do strapping and final thumb placement.
