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.

- 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

Still a lot that I'm missing, but this is a good start.

Clay for the Castle
Went and found some clay for building a tiny castle.
I pulled it from a pile from excavating the still incomplete upper well housing. Was able to make coils straight out of the pile so I have high hopes for this stuff.
Just started soaking it so I can get the plant matter and small rocks out of it with a screen. Then I get to dry it out a bit, flatten it into nice big slabs and cut tiny, tiny bricks out of it.
Once i have all of my tiny, tiny bricks I get together with Dandan and a few of his books and we do a tiny test oven (horno style), a tiny gatehouse, and tiny wall section to see if any obvious problems pop up.
