Field notes
The register lists named wallets and brooches by hand-in place and date range, with a £145 claim fee and free UK postage. The page describes each woman as invented while saying the papers are real; the extracted copy does not explain how those documents were sourced or assembled. A separate digital guide offers the maker’s paper-aging methods in written and filmed form, and some listings include a notice that article photographs are still to be affixed.
