I know, I know. I haven't posted in a while. I promise I still live. I've been eaten alive by my modern work life and haven't really posted a lot of the projects I've been working on. I did finish the painting that's on the left for the Mews (it's the cover art for the … Continue reading I live. . .

Project Updates
Updates have been hard for me lately. I've been dealing with some things to work through as of lately. I am pleased that the finished pile is getting larger, but the six items have been there for a while and I just need to do them. DO THE THINGS. (but also, reminding myself to be … Continue reading Project Updates
Heraldic Mythbusting – I got the Armorial azures; or, why does my heraldry not match the Armorial?
Let's play a game! What happens when you give some heraldic artists a few words describing a heraldic device and ask them to draw it? Read below to see what happened! This particular blog post will serve to do some heraldic mythbusting, and to give a peek behind the curtain of the Society College of … Continue reading Heraldic Mythbusting – I got the Armorial azures; or, why does my heraldry not match the Armorial?
Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments for Others
In my last post about making magic moments in the SCA, it was all about what an individual can do to help make their own magic moments. This, though, is what we can do as a collective group, though this also relies on individuals. The thing is, the SCA does not exist in a bubble. … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments for Others
Creating Preprints/Charters
I live in a kingdom that does preprinted award blanks (that are then painted and the details about the recipients filled in later) for our Award of Arms level (and children's awards). This allows our king and queen to give out awards with their persona involved in the process, and it also allows those who … Continue reading Creating Preprints/Charters
Project updates.
Things still to accomplish. Lined Skjoldehamn hood (Have cut out the wool and am working on getting it lined and assembled.) Cutting out several Byzantine bone box blanks in preparation for turning into Byzantine box icons. (It's been. . . warm. It means that I don't want to be outside cutting bone with a Dremel … Continue reading Project updates.
Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments in the SCA
One of the things that I've seen over and over again in the SCA Social Mediaverse is that people want to see more magic moments. A magic moment in the SCA is where time seems to stand still and where it seems that one has gone back into time. Many of us want to have … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments in the SCA
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. You see, when I got started in the Society, I needed to work on clothing, and a friend of mine had a quiet place behind a table. The herald's table. So, I sat … Continue reading Nikolai’s Herald Extraordinary Scroll
Super-duper-humerals
One of the more puzzling things I've been researching have been superhumerals. In the SCA, we have a tendency to make them out of fabric (because affordability), but I've now run into a second data point of what could be a superhumeral. For those who don't know what a superhumeral is, it is a collar … Continue reading Super-duper-humerals
Updates to the project list!
I'm preparing to go to KWHSS in the Debatable Lands (finally! Another kingdom down for me!) Valor was a lot of fun (and Camp Interkingdom Incident really was a blast to hang out with). And, my class and workshop went well, so definitely some good times. (Also, I forgot that I'm not bad as a … Continue reading Updates to the project list!
