Cool links and info request for a friend

[raffaellasworld]

I've got a friend who's thinking about apprenticing and she wants a persona appropriate scroll. I sent her the links I still had from when I researched  mine and the transcription of the basis for mine, but I can't seem to find the image of the original extant scroll. Any suggestions? 

Also, someone on my Friends list posted these really cool doll links. I'm totally blown away, and instantly though of Mort:  Beware, it does show some images of naked dolls.

Check this out the description is "Album with Italian, mainly Venetian, costumes and characters from the Commedia dell’Arte, Italy, Venice?, first quarter of the 17th century"

Maiolica ideas
I want to paint the pitcher and bowl- from "the bean eater"

Eventually I'd like to enter Kingdom A&S and I think I want at least one of my entries to be a Maiolica piece. I'm not sure what yet there, other than I want it to be something reasonably persona appropriate as that will be the theme for all of my entries.
Maybe this one, only switch out the devices:

Knitted Venetian sailor's cap:

I had started making a knitted cap once upon a time, but it was using the modern two needles hooked together. I want to try it sometime with the double ended needles.

Depending on the persona, an appropriate "apprenticeship" scroll might be no more than a bit of text detailing the arrangement made between the two parties. Period indentures were often written on two sides of a piece of paper, both parties signing their names on each side, and then the paper torn in half, each person getting a copy. My laurel and I did this, both for our apprenticeship and quit claim (where I fulfilled the requirements and ended the apprenticeship).

That is easy. Bring what you have started and I will show you how to knit right off the circular needles and onto double pointed needles. no magic or rocket science involved.

chances are I have exactly the right size of needles for loaners too.
