Update on Projects

April 4, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 12 Comments

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

February 28, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / Leave a comment

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!

February 2, 2018February 2, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 11 Comments

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

January 24, 2018January 25, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

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

January 23, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 6 Comments

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. . .

January 5, 2018January 5, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 4 Comments

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

December 23, 2017 / Konstantia/Constans / Leave a comment

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

November 23, 2017November 23, 2017 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

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

Byzantine Bone Box Icon and Queen’s Prize

September 17, 2017 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

I've been quiet lately.  Sorry about that (lots of projects on my plate, lots of items still needing to be done). At any rate, I've been quiet as I've been working on my Queen's Prize project. I've been intrigued by this little bone icon found in Israel since its discovery in 2011, and even more … Continue reading Byzantine Bone Box Icon and Queen’s Prize

14th Century Hairpins

July 4, 2017July 4, 2017 / Konstantia/Constans / 5 Comments

The upcoming reign is a 14th c reign, with a high persona Coronation, so I've been working on a couple of things to augment what I do have, and being able to go as period as possible has been my aim with this particular project.  (Plus, up until this point, I had nothing that quite … Continue reading 14th Century Hairpins
