I was afraid the torches were too fancy and ornamented for a Castle.... but I look at your Castle and see all the beautiful ornamental details.... and so I think it is good for my Castle even if a little fanciful!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-57783990279718614302011-01-10T20:38:15.642-05:002011-01-10T20:38:15.642-05:00Thank You Ewa!

Those Boccaccio Tales are full of very risque and naughty happenings... so it is a wonder that the artists were SO restrained in their depictions! But you are right that the Medieval World did not illuminate seduction very often! :)<br />And I am so glad you like my torches and Candlesticks! I fretted for a long time because I wanted to somehow make them flicker like your little lamp.... but I discovered that in order to have them flicker they needed the batteries which have a polarized current.... and can't just be wired to the outlet strip... so it was getting too complicated unless I figured out a hiding place for the battery for each lamp which was still too complicated... so they are non flickering lights. But I am happy with the general design.... and just need to practice a LOT to get them straight! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-60494225283190605792011-01-08T14:19:42.407-05:002011-01-08T14:19:42.407-05:00Torch is even more brilliant than I could even thi...Torch is even more brilliant than I could even think of. I could not think of electrification in my own castle. However, you have succeeded brilliantly.

Firstly, your choice of all the Illuminations (of the book kind) is not only educational (especially love the Karma Sutra one ..teehee) but very interesting. The X-rated pic is the only one I have ever seen in an illuminated manuscript. I also love all your explanations and you made me laughed when you introduced Henry :).<br /><br />But the really laudable bits of this post has to be your torches and candles. I must say they are some of your best work! Very very convincing and effective. Beautiful too. I know what you mean by crooked findings. This was my experience when I made my 1st hookahs. :). You get better after a few tries. You may also want to try using a thick enough wires to string the beads so that they stand up straighter. :)<br /><br />Congratulations on the most fabulous work!Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.com
