When my friend Branwen approached me for ideas on what to do for her protege's upcoming elevation for the Pelican, I panicked a little. I was familiar with doing Andalusian art from doing Catalina's Laurel scroll, but text was going to stretch my knowledge base a bit. I also had plans to actually do the … Continue reading Jaida’s Pelican Text

Award Recommendations: what are they, and why are they important?
One of the things that the SCA does is grant awards to our participants, much like any other group. In a sense, each SCA event is like the OSCARs, BAFTAs or the Tonys - we recognize in court as a Society excellence (in a few tiers, that is) in four main groups: martial skill (in … Continue reading Award Recommendations: what are they, and why are they important?
Update on Projects
I seem to be doing updates to my unfinished list, but on the other hand, it feels good to get things knocked off of a list. What is done: Nobelese Largesse Secret Project (blogged about here) Mar’s Quilt block (no photos, but it’s also done and I’m mostly happy with it) Write Pelican scroll text for Jaida … Continue reading Update on Projects
Update on Unfinished Projects
Good news: I've got two completely off the list! YAY! Bad news: I've added to my list. My list items that are now done are these. Nobelese Largesse Secret Project (blogged about here) Mar’s Quilt block (no photos, but it's also done and I'm mostly happy with it) I took a break to knock out some … Continue reading Update on Unfinished Projects
Crossed One Off the List!
So, remember my post on unfinished projects? Well, I get to cross one off of the list! My Noblesse Largesse project went to a lady out in Atlantia, who stated in her dossier that she liked paternosters and the colours green and red. So, going through my beads, I decided to stretch my carving muscles … Continue reading Crossed One Off the List!
Snorri’s Hammer Scroll, or how to pick your battles
This is actually a project from last year (December!) that I've finally got some time to blog about now. I got a scroll assignment from the Royal Scribe for Damien and Issabell and I was immediately inspired to Do Something Cool. Plan 1: do a runestone. I should preface this with I was on furlough … Continue reading Snorri’s Hammer Scroll, or how to pick your battles
Unfinished Projects
Y’all. Y’all. I’m really bad at unfinished projects. My friend Anna Plantyn had a fantastic idea for keeping on task for finishing up the projects (and I’ll blog about this, too). From her note: Over the years I have accrued a number of unfinished projects. One of my goals for 2018 is to clear out all … Continue reading Unfinished Projects
2017 SCA Resolutions, revisited. . .
Looking back at my SCA resolutions from last year, and I got none of them done. Sigh. Not. A. One. Now, to be fair, my modern work life was in a crap-ton of flux, but I'm hoping for much smoother sailing this year. Goals #1 (actually finish a project before taking on another one) and #5 … Continue reading 2017 SCA Resolutions, revisited. . .
I Need Your Help
Hi all - I wish this was an awesome research post or a post about something I made. Instead, I'm asking for a tiny bit of help with a bit of a modern-day problem. I'm visiting my Diarmaid, and my computer hard drive ended up needing to be replaced. I was able to have it … Continue reading I Need Your Help
Brigida’s Pelican Text
My friend Brigida had the boon begged to be admitted to the Order of the Pelican back in August. She asked me to write her scroll text, of which I was pleased to do so. Brigida's persona is from 1200s Munich (hence the von München in her name!) Tumbling down the rabbit hole that are Holy … Continue reading Brigida’s Pelican Text
