Paint and arrows

So, tonight Lady Derega, Lady Liliana, myself and my son all congregated to work some more on arrows. It wasn't what I call a terribly fast pages effort, but it was good conversation, and good time spent with Derega acting as host to the evening's activities.

The major effort tonight was painting sets of a dozen arrows so that the set matches. I took first crack at it, and got to learn the ins and outs of the rig that had been assembled by a Namron archer from wood and the cannibalized parts of a sewing machine. the question wasn't so much one of period as noticeable, which is what I was aiming for.

In the interim, Derega worked on the fletching chopper, readying white/white/red sets, and I Liliana did both for a while before the work meeting came to a close.

Liliana was halfway through her set when thing wrapped up. I managed to get my dozen complete, however, and this is what some of them looked like as they were resting up against the wall to dry.
