It's been a while since I've updated this. And August has been full of stuff, but not a whole lot of work on projects. I've honestly needed a break from projects (and instead, added some SCA-related things to my modern Zazzle store), and I'm glad I took it, but I really do need to get … Continue reading Update on Projects

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
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
Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
It's been kind of a crazy few weeks in SCA blog-land when it comes to arts and sciences and how we ask questions and do things and information transfer and how to act on social media. Y'know, a light week of reading. (So you have an idea, check out these posts: Social Media, the SCA and … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
Update on Finished Projects
So, we're five months in. I've been able to stay mostly motivated to get projects done and off the list, though I'm definitely seeing some sticking points. It is also hard as hell to create when you just don't want to create. I did pick up a couple of things at KWHSS - some pigments … Continue reading Update on Finished Projects
Time for All Things to End
I am stepping down from my post as Baronial A&S champion this weekend (it was supposed to be earlier this year, but we ended up moving the event due to inclement weather) - so I had some time to finish off some things that I wanted to do. I perhaps was not as active of … Continue reading Time for All Things to End
Jaida’s Pelican Text
When my friend Branwen approached me for ideas on what to do for her protege's upcoming elevation for the Pelican, I panicked a little. I was familiar with doing Andalusian art from doing Catalina's Laurel scroll, but text was going to stretch my knowledge base a bit. I also had plans to actually do the … Continue reading Jaida’s Pelican Text
Award Recommendations: what are they, and why are they important?
One of the things that the SCA does is grant awards to our participants, much like any other group. In a sense, each SCA event is like the OSCARs, BAFTAs or the Tonys - we recognize in court as a Society excellence (in a few tiers, that is) in four main groups: martial skill (in … Continue reading Award Recommendations: what are they, and why are they important?
Brigida’s Pelican Text
My friend Brigida had the boon begged to be admitted to the Order of the Pelican back in August. She asked me to write her scroll text, of which I was pleased to do so. Brigida's persona is from 1200s Munich (hence the von München in her name!) Tumbling down the rabbit hole that are Holy … Continue reading Brigida’s Pelican Text
Elspeth of Stonehaven’s Calon Lily
One of the first people I ever met in the SCA was given her Calon Lily this weekend for embroidery, and lucky me, I was given the privilege to not only write her scroll text, but also do the calligraphy and illumination. Countess Elspeth has a Scots persona, and so I used a framework consisting … Continue reading Elspeth of Stonehaven’s Calon Lily
