Thanks to all for the kind comments, again, it would not have been possible without my wife, Morielda!Cinead wrote:Miri-

Those are soft moccasin boots that I had made one year at a flea market. I added some soles from an old pair of shoes one year, and they still fit just a little loose. I added extra long ties and that seems to help some. A good pair of Rangering boots is on the list! As an aside, the same guy made a pair of boots for my wife, and they broke her legs out badly! I have no idea if it was the leather or what it was treated with, so a word from the wise concerning flea-market bootmakers!

Very nice! I love your dwarf!
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
In all my travels, I think it's the cutest Dwarf I've ever seen! She was a trooper though. Right after we took the first shot between the ranger and the orc, she got stung on the hand by something. We doctored it up and despite her pain, she jumped right into the pics.

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Thanks Jolromir. It's a lot of fun to include them in the pics.
A.R. Yeah, the Dwarf came running up conveniently right AFTER I downed the orc.
As for orcs, that one was more tricky and a better fighter than most I have contended with in the past.

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
I was tired from a hot day outside with the forge and some knives that are done with the forge. So I was getting a bit slap-happy by the time I downloaded the pics and saw that one for the first time. I started laughing and my family looked at me like I had lost my mind (I know, that's nothing unusual around the Cartrette house). I said the pic looked like I needed a new pair of britches. The kids laughed really hard. The wife smiled and I think she mumbled, "Yep, he's lost it- again."Mirimaran wrote:Eric, your kids are just troopers!
