Food Dyes and Cookie Sculpting
It’s Yule time again and for the local Barony’s Yule I was asked if I would take on making the subtlety for the head table. I wasn’t otherwise involved inthe event and said yes. (Helium hand sticks again.) The head chef had a rough idea involving a cookie chess board as a nod to the … Continue reading
Travel in the Time of Perronnelle – Pt. 2
In a previous post I addressed the question posed by Baron and Master Ulric von Der Insel a couple of weeks ago. His question: “Where did your — persona — always want to go? To see what?” This got my brain weasels going and the post was so long that I was forced to stop … Continue reading
Travel in the Time of Perronnelle
Down the Rabbit Hole I enjoy fleshing out my persona within the SCA. It is an ongoing process that I add to and edit as time goes on. One aspect is where my persona is from and where I may have traveled. His Excellency Ulric von Der Insel has posed the question: Where did your … Continue reading
Newest Scroll & Issues with Perg
One of the many hobbies I do within the SCA is illumination. I love painting a scroll. I get to pain pretty things and be creative. Like most artists, I’m never truly happy with my finished product and I grumble a great deal through the process. This particular piece was more difficult than average and … Continue reading
Themes, Topics, and Trouble

This is one of many so stay tuned! What follows is the video and the transcription (with related links) for those that … Continue reading
A New Motivation
So I’ve been fairly quiet on here for a long time. Partially due to real life: figuring out if we were moving or not, a new job, and all kinds of things like that. It was also partially because of feeling like I had hit a bit of a rut in my modern medieval life. … Continue reading
Eura Dress Update
So once upon a time, about 2 years ago now, I made a version of the Eura dress. (You can read about that here.) This is an update on that dress and how it’s worn over time. There are a few pros and a few cons and I’m actually curious as to how many other … Continue reading
Bergental Baronial Championship – A&S Edition
Maybe I Will… This past weekend was the Barony of Bergental‘s Baronial Championship, an event which I generally look forward to because it’s a lot like “Old Home” week. It’s mostly a laid back event and I get to see several of my friends and have a really nice day. This year I helped put … Continue reading
First Scroll Assignment & Annual Pennsic Prep
Back at the end of April I was asked if I thought I’d be up for taking my first scroll assignment. I was more than a little nervous since these tend to me more geared toward the recipient and it’s held up in court for everyone to see. It did not help that my previous … Continue reading
