This blog is inspired by the group Paleo Planet over here: http:www.paleoplanet.net It is a wealth of information for all of you do-it-yourselfers out there who would love to make your own bow or atlatl. It's an online forum with members all over the world. All photos and content copyright Fayme Harper 2009-2012.

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.
