However, I did spot Chendra's comments about what you said. WHEW! I totally agree with Chendra. In fact, I am rather put off by the absurdity of someone trying to get you NOT to put that information on the back of the scroll! I would encourage you to not only do that, but to go ahead and also include your name and address on the back as well. Then people might even be so bold as to actually THANK you! And if they have a problem with that, well just tell them that some stuffy midrealm laurel told you it was a good idea. Good luck!

Good Lady Aldiana, You are not alone! The answer to "working in the heat" central air conditioning. Ink behaves itself, paper doesn't buckle and paint stays just as you like it. Can't afford to install central air? Neither can I. :-) (Electricity is wildly overpriced here in Western New York. Our local engineers generate gigawatts of clean, "nearly free" power with the Niagara Falls hydroelectric plant. We make it, but we aren't allowed to keep it. Most of that power is sucked into the giant, gaping maw of New York City.) I understand that the price of hydroelectric power drops as one moves away from the source. ;-) So...what to do? #1) Start by keeping yourself cool. Take five bath towels, dampen them with tap water, roll them into long cylinders, and place them in your freezer. When the heat starts to get to you, remove one of the towels from cold storage & drape it around your neck. Once it reaches room temperature, dampen it again, and exchange it for another cold towel. This won't do a darned thing for the working properties of your paint; but it will do wonders for the attitude of the painter! :-) #2) If you have a small, enclosed room in which to work - go to KMart (or WalMart or Target or BJ's or ) and buy a little 5,000 BTU windowbanging air conditioner. Set the temperature at 76 degrees, and set the vent to "closed". Keep the doors and windows shut at all times. Both the temperature and the humidity will drop in your work room; and your supplies will behave themselves. #3) If you have a 75lb. German Shepherd/Bluetick mix who likes to recline on your feet during hot weather, teach him to love another room. This may be a specialized problem, and not applicable to your situation. Remember....Winter is only five months away. :-) Peace, Peter Lori Martell wrote: > > Please good gentles, permit me a short rant as I take a break.... > > Nothing torques my tush more than having my paints turn into mud no matter > my best efforts :( > > My pearls look like mud puddles and I couldn't draw a straight line to save > my soul.. > > Sometimes I wonder if I should even be doing this... > > ok... it's 90 degrees and everything is falling apart... thanks for a soft > shoulder :) > If I leave the fans on, I'm fighting the blowing air and too fast drying > paints... if I shut them off, I'm dripping sweat... *sigh* > > Help!!

Saradwen sighs a heavy sigh of wish, wish, wish..................I live in a hot, stuffy second floor walkup, and you talk about HOT in the summer! (Except it IS nice and toasty in the winter from the heat rising from downstairs!) Window fans are my only defense against the heat, but seeing as how this is such a teeny, tiny apartment, I have to work on a small, portable drawing board that I balance on my lap while sitting on the sofa, along the eastern wall of the apartment. There are two south facing windows, one on either side of this computer desk, and the window fan is in the one nearest the sofa....which makes working on a scroll with the fan blowing full blast on me a most interesting experience. I did a 13th century French last week for Meleé in the Marche in Columbus, OH (Marche of Tirnewydd), and even though I had oxgall in my wash water, still, stuff kept drying out too fast because of the heat in here. BUT - I had uncommonly good luck with my reconstituted Titanium white paint that was left over from another scroll earlier this year. It's powdered Titanium that I mixed with gum arabic and distilled water with a wee drop of oxgall in it. A fellow scribe told me this weekend that I should add a wee bit of honey to it, too. Anyway, it reconstituted beautifully and my white work turned out extraordinarily beautifully. It just glided on the page without the slightest bit of coaxing, cursing or anything else. Funny thing, Ranthulfr, about ceiling fans - this apartment has no light switches in it whatsoever (the only light in the bathroom is the one on the medicine cabinet that has a little switch on the side of it - I am always having to point that out to visitors looking for the bathroom light!). All the overhead lights are the old string-pulls. Ideal, as I understand it, for a ceiling fan. Sure would like one in here in the living room, and one in the bedroom, too.

The only suggestions I have are to get a floor fan and put it nearby, but facing away (gentler wind), or to just bite the bullet and get an air conditioner.

Lowe's has them for as little as $30. They're not huge fans, mind you, but they would do the trick. The only places we don't have them are in the dining room (got an antique chandlier for my anniversary one year) and the bathroom (ceiling's way too low). They make *such* a difference...both in summer and winter. Another thing that would make a difference is a whole house fan. It's mounted on the window frame and it pulls air through the house--moving the hot air out. They run a good bit--$100+, but that fan in combination with the ceiling fans makes my upstairs tolerable even on the hottest days. ailith who lives in a 1890's house Saradwen said: Funny thing, Ranthulfr, about ceiling fans - this apartment has no light switches in it whatsoever (the only light in the bathroom is the one on the medicine cabinet that has a little switch on the side of it - I am always having to point that out to visitors looking for the bathroom light!).

Williams" Subject: [scribes]: Scribal Tea and College of Scribes' meeting Greetings unto the Scribes of An Tir, There will be a Scribal Tea at the Abbey of St Incipient (on the West Road near the A&S Pavilion) on July Coronation Saturday from 2-4:30 p.m. for any and all interested in the Scribal Arts. Bring your portfolio if you have one, a goblet, and chair and come join us. Refreshments will be provided and the Kingdom's library will be available to peruse. A College of Scribes' meeting is tentatively scheduled for 2:30 p.m. (we're trying to make it between Courts) Companion Celdae, Sable Sable (Kingdom Scribe) will have Apprentice Illuminator manuals available at this time and her deputies will be introduced and talk a little about their offices if they are in attendance. A question and answer session will follow. On a side note: If you have calligraphic talents the Abbey would appreciate help with writing letters during the day. They are looking for scribes willing to work for about an hour at a time. =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.

From personal experience, 76-78F isn't too cold to work the poor thing overtime, and it's still quite comfortable when outside is 80s and 90s and the air is so full of moisture that the fish swim past you at eye level... I can tell you it's no better farther south, being that the entire blasted state is a *swamp*. Our house came with central air, and it is a wonderful thing. Get an air conditioner, it will make you happy.
