  1. #ScribesAndMakers 20 April: Have you ever read or performed your work in front of an audience?

    Yes. Many years ago I performed in a couple of short children's plays I wrote.

    During the second half of my working life, 28 years, I was Tourism Director for my town and created several historical walking tours and programs that I delivered weekly or monthly from spring to fall. Most recently was a program at the historical Fort Phoenix, the fun, entertaining, and educational "Pirates & Privateers" presentation. The script of the program included stories about the fort, local privateering during the Revolution, and life during the 1770s. It was held every Friday morning, weather permitting, in June, July, August, and September from 2016 through 2025.

    The photo is my adult child and me portraying Caleb the powder monkey and Greybeard, a privateer during the Revolutionary War.

  2. Gourd water bottle, lined with beeswax, leather strap. These are really hard to make, I had to stop selling them in bulk/wholesale through a catalogue. Kept one for myself. #historical #gourd #nature #reenacting

  3. Dovolím si tu nasdílet odkaz na svou poslední práci, jsem na ni náležitě pyšný :-)
    Replika Sanitäter Tasche z 2. světové války. Nějakou dobu brašnu nosím na opasku, abych odhalil případné neduhy a... neodhalil jsem, takže jde brašna do nabídky.

    Here is a photo of a woman replicating the Roman Strophium, inspired by the Greek Apodesme. It was folded from a single piece of fabric, as in the figure of Aphrodite above.

  5. Today we visited #Tewkesbury and witnessed the fabulously #reenacted and hilariously commentated #BattleOfTewkesbury - it was pretty fabulous to behold, actually. ⚔️

    I have much admiration for everyone who partook as #reenactors and vendors around the festival grounds. 🛡️ What a day! I love the detail that goes into events like these.

  6. Talked to people at Fort Phoenix, #Fairhaven #Massachusetts today about variolation or inoculation to combat The Pox that was running rampant in Boston in 1775. My program, called "Dreadful Medicine" will be held every Thursday afternoon this summer. It covers tooth pulling, blood letting, amputation, and other cures performed by the village barber/dentist during the war. A midwife (Mrs. Fairhaven Person) is also on hand to talk about herbal remedies and assisting with births.

  7. I'm preparing a new historical program called Dreadful Medicine to be presented weekly at Fort Phoenix in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts during the summer. It will include discussion and demonstrations of medical practices by a barber surgeon around the time of the American Revolution. #history #reenacting #18thcentury #southcoastma #fairhavenma #fortphoenix #barbersurgeon #dentistry
