The professor that I’ve got a longer conversation today about my work with historical pigments basically has told me that I 1) need to be a student so she can pay me and 2) need to be presenting my pigment work at conferences/symposia.

I am simultaneously excited and terrified.

Thing I made over the weekend. Hand sawn, filed, and polished mammoth ivory strung with lapis, Czech glass, and base metal beads with a handmade clasp.

The @nationalwwimuseum.bsky.social is one of my favourite places here, and has provided a wealth of inspiration and insights into the human condition. I’ve also been greatly inspired by the work of the Impressionists, and have worked on this today. I hope you like it. #wwimemorialkc

The Purple Persian at Birka (oh look! I did a sew!)

It's been a while since Birka, but it's been a non-stop blur for the last few months. In the prep time between Kris Kinder and Birka, I've been working on getting my Persian kit up to snuff as one of my many projects. (I also worked on making…

(I also worked on making paint palettes and you've read about Thomas' two scrolls, but that's been less exciting.)

Not something I needed, but I got let go from my job because they wanted to go another direction.

If anyone knows a place where you need an executive assistant or a dab hand at cleaning up processes, pleas let me know.

Operation: Gatsby at the @nationalwwimuseum.bsky.social last night, was amazing. It was such a great outing. I’m also glad my La Garçonne kit worked so well for this. (Also, comfy as hell.)

I’m really proud of this.

This is going to be so good for my own paint research.

Each and every person who normalized the idea that this is a "public square" and therefore all people have an open invitation to be an ass in the replies of strangers clearly never learned how to respect anyone but themselves.

Gang, I do medieval reenactment and *I* don’t want a real king.

Just sayin’.

Two Scrolls for Thomas De Marr’

I like being a bit of a free-range scribe. Last year, I completed three scrolls (Marguerite's Laurel, Ryan's Golden Mantle, and a scroll blank for TRM Calontir that I didn't blog about, but also, just know it's a Mira and I did it fully at the event using almost all…

Happy Imbolc, or for those like me who know her in the Christian tradition, happy St Brigid’s Day.

May we burn with justice and creativity like the flames of her lamp.

May we feed and clothe the poor, like she did time and time again.

For historical purposes: eggs in KC are $10.99 for a dozen.

Shutting down the CDC and medical researchers seemed like a real good idea, didn’t it? /sarcasm

Gang, this is my favourite local candle company. Birdie is The Best and I adore her.

Go give her a follow.
Ok, ok, here I am. Let's get this party started 🩷

So Long and Thanks for All the Alliums

We know. We almost made it to our second anniversary. You’ve been through us purchasing the SMT. You’ve met Deep Gorget, Jaws, Goody, Granny, and Allie. You’ve been with us as we’ve talked about hard-hitting problems that we encounter in our SCA lives, and some. . . not so hard-hitting. Some might even call them light.

It’s hard getting the colours to photograph just right but the Iceland volcano palettes are gorgeous in the winter sun.

The world is exhausting, but my baby is the best.

Sorry for my silence lately. No one told me how much getting a cat would be like having a child. (Way too many four am wakeups with this boy.) #CatsOfBSky
