Zaneta’s Silver Hammer
When an opportunity drops in your lap to write a text for a fellow herald, sometimes, you drop everything and do it. Zaneta (our current Eyas herald) has been doing some fantastic glasswork, and her ability and patience to teach people how to do things with a rather finicky artform has not gone unnoticed. So, … Continue reading Zaneta’s Silver Hammer

Andrixos’ Herald Extraordinary
When Brigida, Gold Falcon Principal Herald, asked me if I wanted a crack at a scroll, I asked who it was for and I jumped at the the chance. You see, Andrixos (or Drx, more familiarly) wrote both my Calon Cross and my Court Barony scrolls, and it's always fun to get people back in … Continue reading Andrixos’ Herald Extraordinary
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.

I don't mean conflict between people (though that can happen), but I do mean that the event will conflict … Continue reading Heralds Running Amok; or How to Put Together a Heraldic Retreat 2: Electric Boogaloo
Gobsmacked.
Last Saturday, I stepped down from the Kingdom position of Gold Falcon Principal Herald, a position I held for two years. I was given some silk and some other sundry bits of fabric, and wanted my friend Anna to make me something awesome to wear out of it, since I really don't trust my sewing … Continue reading Gobsmacked.
Heralds Running Amok; or How to Put Together a Heraldic Retreat
So, in Calontir, as you may know from reading past entries, I'm the Principal Herald. This means that I lead volunteers within my regional group in heraldic activities ranging from vocal to sign, heraldic art to book (names and devices), and everything in between. When I stepped into the job, I knew I wanted to … Continue reading Heralds Running Amok; or How to Put Together a Heraldic Retreat
Heraldry for the Byzantine Persona
As Principal Herald for Calontir, one of the many things I am excited to do with that role is assisting with names and devices. It is also one of the more frustrating things for early period personae or cultures that are not known for heraldry. It's a bit of a balancing act, between actuality and … Continue reading Heraldry for the Byzantine Persona
