In the Medieval London gallery was an eel spear, and behind it a basketwork fish trap -
Nearby was a selection of distilling equipment and other medical artefacts -Some of them made it onto my pages, though the eel spear was manageable only at smaller scale -
...along with a silver pomador and, to confuse the scale of things even further, the kinds of tiny trinkets that are so easily lost, to reappear at the riverside centuries later.
Janet K tackled Mithras -
Having drawn some cooking implements, Joyce thought they looked rather stark, so she filled in the page in grey to subtly set the scene -
Carol found a comb and bucket, both about 1000 years old - the gaming piece is possibly a little younger -
Judith re-created the Fire of London -
Extracurricular activities
Joyce had spent a few days doing interesting things with paper - such as embossing -
and wrapping and crinkling Lokta paper -
and making interesting book structures -
Carol brought along a collection of small objects and told us how she uses them as a way of starting stories -
Tool of the week is a pencil case, made by Janet's friend -
Those are tiny squares, and they are sewn with french seams - which makes sense, because you don't want fraying fabric inside a pencil case -
