I like your blog ... I've got one, too: http://lady-brianna-chronicles.blogspot.com/

Great article on illuminated letters! I do classes for kids on Celtic knotwork. Hmmm ... perhaps I should write it up!

Later!

Cool blog, m'lady! Glad you like my illuminated letters...I suspect my own entry will actually come in handy for myself when I start writing up some research I've been doing on Chaucer - may as well present it nicely.

If there's a guide entry to be written, write it! However, there's already an entry A1011826 on knotwork. Maybe you could find a different slant to it somehow?

Alternatively, how 'bout an entry on the SCA? That's a hole in the guide that could certainly be filled.

Why the HECK didn't I think of that?!? ::smacks forehead::

I'll hop on that sucker staightaway!

Chaucer ... I'm still working my way through him I'm so attention-deficit! LOL!

Mind you, I haven't done much work on actually reading his works, either: I've got about halfway through the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales, and I finished the Miller's Tale. I'll see my way towards starting the Knight's Tale while I do more exhaustive research on his life and times, which is more fun. You see, I'm refusing to read a modern translation of the Tales: it's Middle English, after all, which is not all that difficult - one can understand it, unlike Old English/Anglo-Saxon which is, of course, completely impenetrable, except I think I spelt that word wrong.

I do ramble on. But I like talking, what can I say. You see, all this Chaucer stuff is a project for school, where we have to pick an author and then write a paper on his/her life, one analysing a major work by him/her, and one reflecting on the author's works from our point of view. I'm finding the work of Terry Jones, ex-Python, really quite invaluable. He's quite a renowned medievalist, in fact.
