[TheForge] You boyz are in for a treat....

[Phlip]

Steve, I've been talking to Stefan li Rous, who runs the Florilegium:

http://www.florilegium.org

He'd love to have you write an article on your project, and he now has the
capacity to host pictures.

This goes for any of you who reproduced items from the Mastermyr find- one
topic he's a bit light on is Mesdieval metalwork, and I'm sure he's love to
have more for his files ;-)

I'm ccxing this to Stefan- Stefan, you might want to let the guys know about
the copyright deal and such. I'll forward for you if your posting doesn't go
through.

Guys, Stefan is a good friend and a Household member, and his Florilegium is
one of the top resources on the 'Net for matters Medieval- I suggest you
might want to take some time (a LOT of time) and check it out ;-)
