Writing scroll texts is a bit of a treasure hunt - some legal texts are perfect for the Grants and Patents of Arms that the Society so loves. Other texts, well, not so much. I was asked to write a scroll text for a new Huscarl (our GoA level in either martial, equestrian, or archery), … Continue reading Scroll Text – Thomas Fleishacker

Pennsic Largesse Roundup!
For the second Pennsic in a row, I've been asked to contribute something to the Pennsic gift basket. This year's recipient was Caid. Conveniently, Knowne World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium was also in Caid! So, I had a mission in addition to the classes I taught - I had to figure out what Their Majesties … Continue reading Pennsic Largesse Roundup!
Paternoster joy
After moving over from Blogger to WordPress (Hi everyone!), I've also been deep in paternoster joy. It's true. I can't go to a bead store without finding something that I've fallen in deep lust with, and over the weekend was no exception. I found some gorgeous red horn beads as well as some silver-plated granulated … Continue reading Paternoster joy
Going Greek. Sort of.
The upcoming reign is a classical Greek reign, which is why I'm furiously working on garb for this weekend, which is Coronation. After raiding Walmart for sheets (they make fantastic peplos!), I realised I needed to have something to actually turn a bedsheet into piece of clothing. I raided my jewellery box, and unfortunately nothing. … Continue reading Going Greek. Sort of.

A couple of reigns ago, there was a blank border contest. I entered, and won third place for this entry. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. A well-deserving … Continue reading Sorry for the Absence!
Queen’s Prize Entry
100_3282, a photo by constantiak on Flickr. It is time for Queen's Prize here in Calontir! This is the novice-level A&S event of the year here. My original plan fell through - encaustic takes time and money that after a trip out of the country and sixty-hour workweeks I didn't really have, so I switched … Continue reading Queen’s Prize Entry
Spirals and sunflowers . . .
The surprise I was hiding was the item for my recipient for this round of Noblesse Largesse. My recipient does Rus. And I might have exhausted a bunch of non-jewellery options (sometimes I feel I put myself into too much of a jewellery-themed box) before I came back to jewellery. So, I made temple rings. … Continue reading Spirals and sunflowers . . .
