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

Interkingdom Shenani-plans

September 4, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

Imagine it: it's the end of July. I have just completed a blank border and another scroll (that I still can't talk about) and no sooner do I finish the blank border, I get a wha-ping from an instant message from a kingdom I don't even live in. Turns out, that was a "hey, do … Continue reading Interkingdom Shenani-plans

Post-Lilies War Scroll Roundup

July 4, 2022 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

Even though I wasn't able to go to Lilies War this year for varying reasons, I still had scrolls that made it to Lilies. The first scroll was assigned from Calontir Battle Scribes. Calontir Battle Scribes allows people to ask for scrolls for prizes at events, allowing people to attempt original pieces with regard to … Continue reading Post-Lilies War Scroll Roundup

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 / 2 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

So You Want To Start Scribal: building your scribal box

March 30, 2021 / Konstantia/Constans / Leave a comment

A lot of people in the past few weeks in the SCA scribal-verse have been asking about how to get started as a scribe in the SCA. I can really only speak as a scribe in Calontir, but the basics of types of paint and other supplies is fairly universal. This blog post will serve … Continue reading So You Want To Start Scribal: building your scribal box

The Great Gold Paint Review

May 19, 2020May 26, 2020 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

As a scribe, I'm often asked what I use for my gold paint, and that's where I kind of hem and haw a bit. You see, like any other art nerd, I have collected a few different supplies here and there, and have experimented, and well, now I have a post coming. I've gathered the … Continue reading The Great Gold Paint Review

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)

Stretching Scribal Boundaries

January 17, 2020January 17, 2020 / Konstantia/Constans / 1 Comment

So, over the Christmas holiday, I had the opportunity to go to an event in Meridies (hi Thor's Mountain!), and I seized the opportunity to sit and do some art while I was there. I wasn't sure what kind of art that I wanted to do, and I was kind of flying on what I … Continue reading Stretching Scribal Boundaries

Andrixos’ Herald Extraordinary

April 13, 2019April 14, 2019 / Konstantia/Constans / 2 Comments

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
