Posted on July 16, 2018 by

  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 … Continue reading →

Posted on July 11, 2018 by

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 … Continue reading →

Posted on May 18, 2018 by

Project updates!

Posted on May 13, 2018 by

Things still to accomplish. Lined Skjoldehamn hood (will definitely have to redo the centre panel.  Alas.  Am working on remeasuring, cutting out, and sewing the entire thing up.  Almost there.) Cutting out several Byzantine bone box blanks in preparation for … Continue reading →

De Ceremoniis

Posted on May 5, 2018 by

So, I sucked it up and decided that I could be poor a couple of weeks.  And so I purchased Byzantina Australiensia’s new translation of De Ceremoniis so I could start building Byzantine ceremonies and researching things from the primary (or close … Continue reading →

Posted on April 16, 2018 by

So, my list of unfinished projects is getting shorter!  Yay! Still on the list: Lined Skjoldehamn hood (now taken apart and mostly lined.  I may have to redo the centre panel so it’s wide enough because I forgot to take … Continue reading →

Posted on April 15, 2018 by

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 … Continue reading →

Posted on April 8, 2018 by

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 … Continue reading →
