One of the things that I've seen over and over again in the SCA Social Mediaverse is that people want to see more magic moments. A magic moment in the SCA is where time seems to stand still and where it seems that one has gone back into time. Many of us want to have … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments in the SCA

Nikolai’s Herald Extraordinary Scroll
When Brigida Gold Falcon reached out to me for a scroll commission, and I got the details, I squee'd. A lot. You see, when I got started in the Society, I needed to work on clothing, and a friend of mine had a quiet place behind a table. The herald's table. So, I sat … Continue reading Nikolai’s Herald Extraordinary Scroll
Super-duper-humerals
One of the more puzzling things I've been researching have been superhumerals. In the SCA, we have a tendency to make them out of fabric (because affordability), but I've now run into a second data point of what could be a superhumeral. For those who don't know what a superhumeral is, it is a collar … Continue reading Super-duper-humerals
Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
It's been kind of a crazy few weeks in SCA blog-land when it comes to arts and sciences and how we ask questions and do things and information transfer and how to act on social media. Y'know, a light week of reading. (So you have an idea, check out these posts: Social Media, the SCA and … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
Project Updates.
Things still to accomplish. Lined Skjoldehamn hood (Have cut out the wool and am working on getting it lined and assembled. And finally.) Cutting out several Byzantine bone box blanks in preparation for turning into Byzantine box icons. (It's been. . . warm. It means that I don't want to be outside cutting bone with … Continue reading Project Updates.
Update on Finished Projects
So, we're five months in. I've been able to stay mostly motivated to get projects done and off the list, though I'm definitely seeing some sticking points. It is also hard as hell to create when you just don't want to create. I did pick up a couple of things at KWHSS - some pigments … Continue reading Update on Finished Projects
KWHSS and yet another scroll diary.
KWHSS was a blast. I got to hang out with my brothers, the Four Horsemen of the College of Arms, picked up some scribal goodies (and yet, somehow managed to stay under budget), and learned a lot. Plus, oh, the networking. Also, next year is in Calontir. Come see me. Come take some classes. … Continue reading KWHSS and yet another scroll diary.
Updates to the project list!
I'm preparing to go to KWHSS in the Debatable Lands (finally! Another kingdom down for me!) Valor was a lot of fun (and Camp Interkingdom Incident really was a blast to hang out with). And, my class and workshop went well, so definitely some good times. (Also, I forgot that I'm not bad as a … Continue reading Updates to the project list!
Time for All Things to End
I am stepping down from my post as Baronial A&S champion this weekend (it was supposed to be earlier this year, but we ended up moving the event due to inclement weather) - so I had some time to finish off some things that I wanted to do. I perhaps was not as active of … Continue reading Time for All Things to End
Project updates!
Things still to accomplish. Lined Skjoldehamn hood (will definitely have to redo the centre panel. Alas. Am working on remeasuring, cutting out, and sewing the entire thing up. Almost there.) Cutting out several Byzantine bone box blanks in preparation for turning into Byzantine box icons. Sewing up Byzantine boy garb (PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!) … Continue reading Project updates!
