Roman Rainbows

September 8, 2025September 13, 2025 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

Goodness, it's been a minute. My husband and I with our adorable new house! In my defense, I've had a lot of stuff happen in my modern life, and I still owe a couple of posts on the last three scrolls I've done. But also, with finding a job, buying a house, moving, and a … Continue reading Roman Rainbows

Two Scrolls for Thomas De Marr’

February 2, 2025February 10, 2025 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

I like being a bit of a free-range scribe. Last year, I completed three scrolls (Marguerite's Laurel, Ryan's Golden Mantle, and a scroll blank for TRM Calontir that I didn't blog about, but also, just know it's a Mira and I did it fully at the event using almost all handmade paints and iron gall … Continue reading Two Scrolls for Thomas De Marr’

Laurel Scroll for Marguerite Honoree d’Cheneau

April 6, 2024April 6, 2024 / Konstantia/Constans / 5 Comments

I've been kind of slow on taking major SCA projects right now. After merchanting at Birka, I definitely needed the rest, and honestly, as I'm wedding planning for my nuptials in October of this year, I don't really have a lot of time for SCA projects. Though, sometimes, an opportunity presents that's too good to … Continue reading Laurel Scroll for Marguerite Honoree d’Cheneau

Compounding Colours: Purples

March 18, 2024March 18, 2024 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

The last few weeks post-Birka (which, yes, has been a blur) have been spent going through everything. It was a great trip! I got to see people I haven't seen in years, made some new friends, and got to take home some excellent swag. All the swag! Check out the beads from Heart of Oak … Continue reading Compounding Colours: Purples

Grimwulf’s Cross

September 30, 2023 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

I got a scroll commission from our Royal Scribe to do a scroll for my friend Grimwulf, whose service towards creating hundreds of digitized award badges for the Knowne World was the impetus for his Calon Cross (GoA-service, Calontir). When I start off doing scribal work, I start by researching their persona, along with items … Continue reading Grimwulf’s Cross

Brian’s Calon Cross

November 6, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 7 Comments

Generally, I try to post about a scroll when it gets presented, but attacks of life happen. This was one such scroll. Back in July, I got asked if I could do a scroll for a friend (one of many that went out during the last reign), and I said that I could. With Brian's … Continue reading Brian’s Calon Cross

Calon Cross for Gawin Käppler

April 24, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 3 Comments

No rest for the wicked, really. No sooner had I completed John's scroll, I got contacted by the Royal Scribe again on if I could get another scroll done. Now, this one had a challenge of time, with it being given out two weeks after I had gotten the assignment. Thankfully, for this scroll, I'm … Continue reading Calon Cross for Gawin Käppler

Silver Hammer for John Bowyer and other good news

April 4, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 3 Comments

Now that things are starting to kick back into gear, courts are happening again, and life is slowly starting to return to a new sense of "normal," it also means that my scribal slate is starting to fill with activities and assignments again. Back around the very end of last year, I got asked "hey, … Continue reading Silver Hammer for John Bowyer and other good news

Illuminated Fealty Oath

January 12, 2022March 20, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

So, in this, the days of the panda's panini pandemonium, life in the SCA has continued. We have a new set of royals in Calontir, but because this is indeed the panda's panini pandemonium and also January, my partner and I decided that we could not really afford to travel to coronations. Now, if you … Continue reading Illuminated Fealty Oath

Creative Anachronism in the Time of Corona(virus)

May 10, 2020June 12, 2020 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

Hi all. I know, it's been a bit since I last blogged. With the global shutdown, and with my modern job heavily tied to taking care of contingencies just like this, I didn't have much time to devote to the Society. . .until I could then devote some time to my arts, for a bit. … Continue reading Creative Anachronism in the Time of Corona(virus)
