Wattle and Daub


Today we bring you an interior shot from the HISA – The Windburrow. The interior walls of this house are done in a wattle and daub style which was very common historically.

Wattle and daub is a composite building method used for making walls and buildings, in which a woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung (as mentioned yesterday, even more poop) and straw. Wattle and daub has been used for at least 6,000 years and is still an important construction method in many parts of the world. Many historic buildings include wattle and daub construction.

So now that you have had your history lesson, you can head on over to Simply Shelby and grab up the 18th Century Hall Bench which would be right at home in a roleplay or modern setting. What was old is new again !

Modern Day Vikings


As any blogger will tell you, it is a rare day when a photo comes together exactly as you had intended from start to finish. Such is the case with today’s photo. It all started with this Whisky Firepit from GOOSE which is at Cosmopolitan. Even tho the kegs are whiskey and not mead, I was still drawn back to our former gorean and medieval roleplay days, which made me snatch up the Simply Shelby – Medieval Weapon Rack Set, and was quickly followed by The Green Door – Secret Cave.

It is rare that we have trouble setting a scene once we have a clear vision in our heads but for some reason this one took more time than the usual. The modern whiskey decor was mixing up the rest of my vision. Then Troy chimed in with the idea that perhaps it was a troop of lazy re-enactors who were only in it for the fun of dressing up like vikings and getting drunk so they were not as fussed about authenticity and just got whiskey barrels instead ! Problem solved !
