For those who use wood bases for your masks, as opposed to plaster, I have a few questions.<br> Do you recommend any particular type of wood? What size does...
Lemontree or basswood are preferred by woodcarvers, look for a lumber source that caters to woodcarvers, or check with local woodcarvers. Hey how about the...
Since I live in Canada, the costs here would probably not relate to the States, but here are a couple of ideas to keep costs down. I get my leather from a ...
Okay, those of you who have actually carved wooden molds for your masks -- do you use the caliper & chisel method? Do you draw out the face on the block of ...
Start by [band]sawing the general shape. Then use power-carving/sanding tools[drill attachments], hand chisels, knives, whatever you're comfortable working...
I always star from the standpoint of a face. I'm making a Mask, and a Mask will eventually be worn, right? I like to start with a plaster casting of the ...
We will be having a Commedia dell'arte chat on Wednesday October 20 at 6:30pm Pacific Time.<br><br>Please attend by pointing your browser to <br><br><a...
A while back I joined this club and since then I have lost internet access, gotten bogged down with work, regained internet access and found more time. Now ...
Welcome back. Good question, good topic for the chat Wed. Personally, I am not too worried about exposing my "trade secrets" to a hacker. It is like people say...
Jim makes some excellent points here. When we first started researching our current show, we were rather astonished to discover how many of the lazzi were ...
Jim mentions the commedia sitcom; The 1st exposure I had to the form [in the 60's, as a child] was GILLIGANS ISLAND, HOGANS HEROES, & STAR TREK on TV. My ...
Likewise, I don't worry about sharing. In fact, I love it. If I can contibute to the collective mind, then I can benefit from it too. I feel I've learned a ...

As to the idea of taking offense to ideas being taken and re-used, my view comes a bit from working Ren-Faires. <br> I pretty much don't mind others re-using...
Thank you for the overwhelming response to my question. It warms the heart to see that my fellow commediani believe as I do and that we feel the need to share....
Hello everyone. Well it seems as though the chat on Wednesday was a bust. So let's have another!!<br><br>Wednesday, October 27<br>6:30pm Pacific Time<br><br><a...
Can't speak for anyone else, but I had difficulty [again], accessing the chat function[?]. Kept getting a pop-up for a download I've never needed B/4. May want...
Personally I have trouble with the date... Wednesdays I don't get home till 10pm... But hey if you have it any other time inform me. *smile*<br><br>Columbine...
Just a thought Columbine. Not knowing your schedule, but we don't start till 9:30 EST, actually it was closer to 10:30 EST last night.<br> Perry is west coast ...
I'm on the west coast so it started around 6:00...I came here when I got home and no one was around... Oh well... if Wednesday is everyone's time... I guess I...
I think a chat will work best if someone, Perry or I or any member, really, will agree to hang out for a specified amount of time in the Chat Room, say an hour...
I assume that when a chat is scheduled it goes out to everyone via e-mail. Is that correct? It's not that I can't check back here on a daily basis, but some...
I'm always curious about what is going on in the world of Commedia. Is anyone out there currently producing? If so what are the details (Who, what, when, ...
I've usually recieved an e-mail alert, & noted that they're commonly posted on the calendar. It would be great to schedule a chat for our euro-members to ...
Check-in with Iarroganti, Thl_Rose, & Zani4, I belive they all "irons in the fire". I've had feelers out in the Seattle Wa. area, but so far no takers. Just...
