gurdymonkey" Populace of the West! Pay Heed! Their Majesties challenge all subjects to compete in an Arts and Sciences Championship to be held
at October Crown.....
In addition to the previously published competitions of:
•Period instrumental piece
•Armor, for people or animals
The following categories have been added for the Championship:
•Research Paper (no more than 10 pages) – can be any subject that is of particular interest to you: a battle, shoes, fortifications,
jewelry, migrational patterns of Viking raiders, etc. You know there is something that you have been itching to research.
•Textiles – can be: clothing, a favor, a loom, period tie-dye (if you can document it).
•Ballistics – Might be: arrows, catapult, throw in your own ideas!
•Period Private Parts – Etchings, underwear, you have a naughty mind. Make it work!."
It says "challenge," not "command."
The thing is, I CAN document period tie-dye and was planning on working on that next anyhow. I can whack out a functional and accurate staff-sling in about 10 minutes with a tree branch, a pocket knife, some string and a piece of leather. Got hurdy gurdy, will travel. And ten pages on any topic I want?
The thing is, I've got nothing to prove.

Yup, I'm going to be doing a Mary Rose chest project in the near future (I was supposed to have started already...), it just occured to me that it would be something you could put on a "how to" sheet and that people may be interested in that (as opposed to a kosode, for the same reasons you mention).
