Daithi, thank you for sharing your experience. It's neat to see/hear about when folks step out of the known and try something new, finding it's something entirely different from what they expected.

"It's scheduled to be auctioned Oct. 7 by Christie's, with a guide price of between $242,000 to $363,000."

I rarely have extra cash, but I do have some sale-able skills. I love bartering / trading. I'm Zubeydah. I make chocolate truffles/fudge/brownies, amber jewelry, and do beaded anklets and veils. I also make gift tags and other sorts of things for Royalty to attach to gifts, etc. I do mid-level scrib...

per our email list, semi finals are:

Jarl Hrafn vs Sir Tomas
Duke Ulsted vs Duke Aaron

I guess the thing about this that worries me is ... Are they likely to fight with as much honor and chivalry and dignity if they are fighting on behalf of a "cause" outside themselves, as they would if they were fighting to sit the Throne? [i.e., Duke Smith and his Duchess don't think that...

*beam* Your Majesty, I am still deeply joyful and bouncy that it met Yours and Her Majesty's expectations. Your reactions ... well... they made my month.

Here's my pics - I didn't get a lot, but got some. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43523113@N07/ For me, Battlemoor was about two things - the Ansteorran gift basket and family. Yeah, I know, not exactly the norm. My family lives in the Outlands, and I only get to see them about once a year. IT was fun...

I'm curious about the history and tradition of Ducal Prerogative. [i.e., a Duke's right to enter a Crown List and drop out of the competition when they wish, despite not having been eliminated.] How did this tradition get started? Why do people think it is a good or bad or indifferent thing? I would...

Go to the local knight, and ask him, 'Good Sir, I know that was I able to step upon the field and exchange stout blows with you, that I would learn a great deal. Unfortunately, my surgeon demands that I not take up strenuous activity so soon after surgury. If your schedule would permit it, would you...

I have purchased waxed linen thread at Michaels, Hobby Lobby and WalMart. It's usually in the beading section. I used it for a goodly while on all the amber jewelry I was making, but have stopped because about 75% of the necklaces have broken! The thread just shreds when worn regularly

Zubeydah

I have fun with making jewelry from amber. While it's inspired by period-ish pieces, I'm pretty sure it doesn't qualify for anything other than a 'creative' (stress on that word) anachronism. I have been working on items for the Battlemoor Gift Basket, which the Ansteorran Royals will be presenting ...

Zubeydah

best wishes to the family!

Zubeydah

Oh, yikes. I know so little about armour that I thought the armoury name was the type of armour. My bad.

Thanks for the info!

Zubeydah

Go ahead and bump me down to the bottom of the list - I have to wait until next payday. Let others who can purchase now, have dibbs. I'll wait to see if you have that fourth in the tote.

Zubeydah

Yay!! Please check your IMs for shipping cost request...

Zubeydah

Ditto. I want to get one for Battlemoor

They were sold on this thread: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91229

"Also a pair of mild westlig stjerne 5 piece spaulders asking $30 "

If you did not make them, do you know who did?

I'd like to credit the armorer appropriately.

Zubeydah

Hey, Matt, I don't know if you recall, but I bought some spaulders from you a while back when you were doing a 'cleaning sale'. They are currently being polished and strapped, and are going to go into a gift basket for the Battlemoor event. I wanted to make sure it's okay to put your contact info / ...

I can't even vaguely afford it, but here's what you've *probably* got:

The pen set:

Rotring 4 Pen College Set 0.25mm,0.35mm,0.5mm,0.7mm - $143.00 new - https://buckhams.com.au/products.php?cat=213

The Fluid Writer is about $4.00 at Hobby Lobby.

Hope that helps,

I just registered. At this point, it looks like I will only be going for a day trip - but that's just fine with me. I get to spend some time with my family (Nathaniel McPhereson & Dominique Du MontMartre + Mordrake & Sevilla), who I see rarely. I'll be there Saturday, and MAYBE a few hours o...

Zubeydah

Leo, stuff like this is part of why you are in my Top Five Archivers I Want To Shake The Hand Of Someday.

Zubeydah

I hope it is not inappropriate to offer a hug....

We may not have "Been At War"... but we have men and women who saw it anyway, in those secret, quiet, can't talk about it days.

I honor and thank you for your service.

I and my sister stayed at the Blue Mist hotel in the past It's not Motel6, but it's not bad, either. I think SCA folks pretty much had it full. I did have some problems with my reservation; I reserved a room with a kitchenette, but when I called to confirm my reservation a few weeks before the war, ...

Nissan: Whatcha looking for? I have made a couple of heavy weight banners with applique work, designed to withstand combat... Only thing is, I don't make them commercially, and I don't charge for my stuff. If a project is cool and someone wants it, and I can do it, I do it. But I hate dealing with t...

Depending on how many characters you need, one of the Demo versions on the Scriptorium might work for you. (the full versions are not free) Dave Nalle has done some really beautiful fonts. The whole site is worth a look.

I think this article is great, but would make one suggestion: Add a section at the bottom that identifies the individuals in the photos, and then ask them "did you make it or did you buy it" -- and if they bought it, make note of where it was purchased. If they made it, ask them if they'd ...
