Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! Amongst other projects, here is a 1790’s Royal Navy midshipman’s coat I have made.

Charity shop find of the day.

A blue and white porcelain tea bowl.

It’s not 100% right but it will make for a lovely piece for my coffee house.

I’ve just painted this large white bowl with a Delft style design of around the 1770’s.

It will serve as a punch bowl in my coffee house.

Currently looking at a few silver ladles on eBay which would finish this set off beautifully.

I’ve been busy!

A 1780’s frock coat of beautiful dove grey wool.

The bulk of the coat is now complete and I’m just working on the adornments like these death head buttons.
