Photos from Paleoplanet last Sunday


We had a record number of atlatls it seems, between Chris' collection and Tom's collection. I have many more photos posted here:

I worked on beaded earrings and got 4 pairs made. I talked to George who just visited his family in Ireland. He was working on a new longbow.

Erick, who I first met at an SCA archery shoot showed up as well. He had cracked his bow, and Ken was measuring him for a new one. Erick is multi-talented. He plays the bagpipes too. I wish he'd brought them. So many of us are musicians, we really need a jam session where we are not making bows and arrows and tools.

It was a full day. It always takes me a day to recover after so much excitement.

Paleoplanet Member Gets Exposure on Etsy

Handmade Portraits: Old School Tools from Etsy on Vimeo.



Friends from Paleoplanet told me about this guy who is on Etsy. Since I'm on both, I thought I'd get the word out about his life and video.
