In case anyone is into shoes-- The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto

Welcome All.

Let's see what is happening here. Still no webpage; still no blog;
still no online dairy; Still handicapped; still unable to drive
distances or attend events. Still no knee replacement scheduled.
Still writing. Unfortunately, publications
that accepted some of my articles have ceased publication, so I am
in the process of revamping/re-editing articles for publication in other
places.
(This has turned into a major deal suddenly.)
But I will have articles in the next *Tournaments Illuminated* and they
appear currently
in the most recent issue of Ars Caidis for the Kingdom of Caid
and *The OAK* for Atlantia�s A&S journal. And the Pale!
By last count I have published something like 150 plus articles over the
last 8 years.
Not that publication counts for anything these days, but I still still feel
that as an educational organization those that can ought to write and
publish.
Spoken by the librarian in defense of the printed word.

I do know what I'll be doing this Easter Sunday however. We plan to be
at Hampton Court Palace.
We are off to England on the 5th to do the Henry VIII Coronation exhibit
tour or as
much of it that I can stand to get to. We've have had to scale the trip
back and may have to abandon some
plans, but we are going and I will do what I am up to.
We are planning to be in Canterbury Easter week.

I thought I would mention that I have just completed
a rather extensive 18 page survey on apples, including many original
16th and 17th century recipes for the Gauntlet.
Hopefully it will be in print soon.
(I needed to replace an article on barley waters that has been accepted
for TI.)

One of my activities for this fall is co-sponsoring an online subtleties
contest
with Baroness Faerisa. The topic is subtleties suitable for Autumn,
including
All Saints and All Souls.

On a personal note, I am sad to report that
it's official. I qualify as permanently handicapped now!
Been having to requalify for my parking pass every 6 months because the
knee might improve or get better.
Now 6 and a 1/2 years on, the medical people finally agree that it's
permanent and officially worsening!
So there it is. Look for me in print but no longer at events

For anybody who has a passing interest, I've got the initial bits of my research
into 16th century Dutch costuming up on the web:

It's more or less in beta.  Some of the images are a little large - which I
intend to modify.  Just be warned if your on dial-up!  More to come as I get

I was super busy over the summer participating part-time at the Bristol Renaissance Faire. Now that all that's over and most of the midrealm events I attend have happened, I will be spending the winter making myself and husband more clothing. Also, I am working on building up my store of Elizabethan stuff to bring out for events.

I am likely to be attending both Chicago and Detroit's 12th NIghts. Are folks interested in hanging out and being 16th century together?

For those not attending the War, it occurred to me yesterday
I should have mentioned that I have provided the following Elizabethan work

It's �transcription of The Treasurie of Commodious �Conceits of 1573, as edited by Johnna Holloway
with a bio and sources for further study.

It's not all cookery as it contains mentions of perfumes, waters, powders, etc. �(Such as: To perfume Gloues diuers wayes. chapter. l. and To make a Perfume for Chystes and Cubboords. �And also for Gloues. cap.li.)
It dawned on me recently that a quarter century ago I was engaged in the pursuit
or mission to locate and study the English cookery books of the 16th
and 17th centuries. This past spring I decided to get the Partridge out, dust
it off, edit it, and let it be placed up on
www.medievalcookery.com so everyone could use it.
(Thanks again to Doc. who is hosting and also indexing it for readers.)

In terms of English culinary history, Partridge comes after the Pynson Boke of Cokery (1500),
A Propre Newe Book of Cokery (1545) and the Alessio recipes of the 1550's. He comes before
Hugh Plat and Thomas Dawson.

I hope you enjoy it.

Rather cool costume exhibition in San Francisco

The gowns include Eleanor of Toledo!

Pulp Fashion: The Art of Isabelle de Borchgrave

February 5, 2011 - June 5, 2011

Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave is a painter by training, but textile and costume are her muses. Working in collaboration with leading costume historians and young fashion designers, de Borchgrave crafts a world of splendor from the simplest rag paper. Painting and manipulating the paper, she forms trompe l�oeil masterpieces of elaborate dresses inspired by rich depictions in early European painting or by iconic costumes in museum collections around the world. The Legion of Honor is the first American museum to dedicate an entire exhibition to the work of Isabelle de Borchgrave, although her creations have been widely displayed in Europe.

Pulp Fashion draws on several themes and presents quintessential examples in the history of costume�from Renaissance finery of the Medici family and gowns worn by Elizabeth I and Marie-Antoinette to the creations of the grand couturiers Frederick Worth, Paul Poiret, Christian Dior, and Coco Chanel. Special attention is given to the creations and studio of Mariano Fortuny, the eccentric early-20th-century artist who is both a major source of inspiration to de Borchgrave and a kindred spirit.

This is something new that I just acquired. It's from V&A but they didn't publish it until June 1 which means it wasn't available when I was

there in April.

Seventeenth-Century Women's Dress Patterns: Book 1 (Womens Dress Patterns 1) [Hardcover]

Jenny Tiramani (Editor), Susan North (Editor)

Amazon has a very complete review which can be read on the Amazon site.

I think it would work really well with Arnold.

V&A description notes PICTURES 350 colour, 700 line in 160 pages.

About the book

This innovative and breathtakingly detailed book from the V&A presents dress patterns, construction details, embroidery, and making instructions (including a knitting pattern and lacemaking) for 15 garments and accessories from a 17th-century British woman's wardrobe. Step-by-step drawings of the construction sequence and scale patterns for each garment enable readers to accurately reconstruct them. There are scale diagrams for making linen and metal thread laces, silk braids, and embroidery designs. Multiple photographs, close-up construction details, and X-ray photography reveal the hidden elements of the clothes, the number of layers, and the stitches used inside. This first book in a new series takes the physical examination and study of historical clothing to a new depth and degree of detail, using the expertise of designers, tailors, and makers from London's Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Certainly worth a look.

For those interested in English cookery, I'll be doing a session on

the English cookbooks of the 16th century at the Society's West Coast Culinary Symposium which is taking place next weekend in Marin County, California.

For the first time the West, Caid, and Antir have joined together to put on this culinary gathering.

My session for the 16th century will be

EEBO and the early English printed sources
Instructor: THLady Johnnae llyn Lewis

Class Description: Lecture

Time Needed: 1 hour
Time Scheduled: Sat 10am
Location: Stone House

Johnnae will discuss the early ENGLISH printed cookery book from its start in 1500 through the death of Elizabeth in 1603. She will also discuss the former UMI microfilms projects and the newer EEBO project which promises "From the first book printed in English by William Caxton, through the age of Spenser and Shakespeare and the tumult of the English Civil War, Early English Books Online (EEBO) will contain over 125,000 titles listed in Pollard and Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640), Wing's Short-Title Catalogue (1641-1700), the Thomason Tracts (1640-1661), and the Early English Tract Supplement - all in full digital facsimile from the Early English Books microfilm collection."

I am also giving the keynote address for the conference on my work with the late Dr. CB Hieatt and the Concordance of English Recipes, 1300-1500.

I also have a panel presentation on research problems and methods
which I am winging (come see that session at 9 am).

Subject: Manuscripts and Printed Cookery Books from England

The new Gauntlet (regional newsletter for Pentamere) has been published with the
latest installment
of my continuing bibliographic series on food, cookery, and cookbooks. (This is
the 6th installment!)
The topic for this quarter was England.
Due to the number of printed books and manuscripts available this time, the work
concentrates
on just the principal sources. By leaving out those always interesting
dietaries, agricultural & gardening works,
and the dozens of modern histories and guides etc. I finally managed
a halfway reasonable 17 pages, cut down from 50.

It covers the 16th century English printed cookbook in a comprehensive fashion.

Hope you enjoy it
