Preparing To Make Preparations

I've spent some of today gathering images for the upcoming Medieval Workshop given by Lynne Perrella at The Ink Pad in NYC. I have 48 inkjet images printed out ready to go to my local copy center for laser copies. 48, you say, are you crazy???? Hey, I'd rather be overprepared and have plenty to share. I got some scrapbook paper, wrapping paper with a florentineish pattern and some of my handmade papers. Here's some highlights of the images I'm taking: First, the Ladies:

I love her hands in the last image. Next the Men are represented by thier Armor, not Ardor or Amour, how apropos, eh??? Feeling a little neglected tonight......:

Next, you gotta have castles and turrets:



Jewelry:
Text and Manuscripts:

These images are all copyright free to the best of my knowledge and were gleaned from Karen's Whimsey, Dover or the NYPL digital collection. I am using all for personal use only. Here is the photo of the wrapping paper I purchased at a local "she she",teehee, shop:

I also purchased this stamp tile from The Stampsmith and have permission from the owner, Estelle to blog about it. She sends Rubber Hugs by the way.

So I think I'm pretty prepared, don't you?? Now because I am prepared, the morning of the workshop, I'll probably wake up paralyzed or throwing up or something. Isn't that always the way?? teehee. Wish me luck, Wish you were coming with. xoSusan
