2013-11-02-1145, a photo by vhersch_rhianydd on Flickr. I've had to get some non-SCA life things in order, hence my absence. Let's get caught up, shall we? 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!

Surprises, surprises. . .
Photo courtesy of Mergriet van Wijenhorst (Amanda Poirer-Kratz) This weekend was a pretty big weekend in my Laurel's group of apprentices. My apprentice-brother, His Excellency, Baron D'Unstable Peregrinator, was made a member of the Order of the Laurel. Our Laurel all gave us things to do as we could - so I volunteered to make … Continue reading Surprises, surprises. . .
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.

And I’m back . . .
100_3108, a photo by constantiak on Flickr. . . . with more projects. So soon after my return from Canada, too! (I came back from my two weeks away yesterday. I have issues.) I'm part of a group on Facebook called SCA Medieval Barter Town that is somewhat of an offshoot of Noblesse Largesse. People … Continue reading And I’m back . . .
Off to war . . . kind of.
The pieces in the photo - a paternoster and Roman-style necklace and earrings - are off to be part of a largesse basket for Lochac at Pennsic. My Princess asked me to help with this, and while I can't be there, this is the second year in a row that I've done something for the … Continue reading Off to war . . . kind of.
It’s been quiet. . .
I apologise for being so quiet - it's been a bit of a busy time, as I've been commissioned to make items for people - ranging from raffle items to jewellery and paternosters. This will be a gratuitous item post. This is a paternoster made for a friend of mine. She provided the grey beads … Continue reading It’s been quiet. . .
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 . . .
