Logan’s Silver Hammer

December 10, 2018 / Konstantia/Constans / 3 Comments

Being able to work on this was truly a joy.  The work that Count Logan has done in researching banners and then teaching others, well . . . he gets it.  And his work truly is amazing. When I started researching things for his scroll, I knew I wanted to do one of two things: … Continue reading Logan’s Silver Hammer

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

I've written in the last entry that Calontir is in a Norse reign, and as a result of that, I got to do some research in bits and pieces for Her Majesty Ylva to give as tokens.  As I can't make all of them myself, this entry will serve as a way for those who … Continue reading Making Norse Festoon Dangles

Sailing Northward

The upcoming reign in Calontir is a Norse one, and I've been assisting a bit in researching largesse items.  I've also been working on some other items, so come along with me on what I've been doing so far.
