I am also attempting to make some items for The Skirmish Weekend held at at the end of August at Samlesbury Hall & spent all yesterday making brooches to attach to knitted capes for me & Caroline to wear, as we have to dress in Medieval clothing whilst manning the stall.
The brooches seem to be working, made with encaustic waxed grunge paper- but the hat pins which fix them together are causing me headaches, as the beads at the end keep sliding off, obviously the glue is not doing its job!!!

| Top one still be clamped!!! |
Hopefully I will sort this out & maybe try a different glue- I will not be defeated!!!
Either way I am pleased with the end results & will continue to make some more encaustic jewellery for the exhibition as well.
I should really clean the bedrooms & bathroom, however there is always another day???
