LOL Well, mine aren't terribly authentic. The ones on deadmentellnotales.com are basically wooden nickels that are black on one side, and say "The Black Spot" on the other. I bought wooden disks, colored one side black, and wrote "The Black Spot" on the other. Very copycat.

But mine are hand-made.

I think they look good, but you know how kids can be sometimes...I mean, I make costumes for the whole family and the kids always prefer store-bought. And I guess I haven't quite got enough to stress about

so I'm finding things to be stressed about. Of course, I'm really really hoping the kids will think they're cute and not horrifyingly frightening because of the Robert Louis Stevenson connection...
I'm headed to the
Disney Store tomorrow...show of hands, who is making their own shirts, and who bought them? We might just do the wristbands, but we need to know what peer pressure says.
Oh, by the way, one of my black spots is for the Renaissance Festival. We have a Jack Sparrow impersonator (he's not period, but he's very good and very entertaining) and on the last weekend, my husband will present him with three presents. He's going to get a jug of rum, a jar of sand with a little heart in it, and a black spot. I'm thinking I might take a video camera to catch this...
