Mira Inspired Indenture Contract

This was a sweet, quick project, and I realize now that I took no process photographs. This piece was used as my indenture contract as an underforester in the East Kingdom Foresters Guild. As this represents a growing commitment to the guild and the pursuit of my own studies and the development and sharing of skills, I left half the natural objects as sketches, as the scroll is as much a work in progress as I am.

Pewter Iron Age Spindle-whorl

This project is part of a body of work resulting from my studies of the Glastonbury Lake Village, an Iron Age village in what is now Somerset, England. I first learned about this site while I was looking for examples of roundhouses built from lighter materials. The site captured my attention because of its high degree of preservation of organic materials, due to its water logged state.
