I came in second at Kingdom A&S Pentathlon! Howell won and I am super proud of them! Thank you to all the judges (15!!) who gave me their time. #Ealdormere
Wire shelf filled with drying green ware pottery in white and red clays. Waiting to be trimmed are mugs, pitchers bowls, plates and a number of tiny pots.
More shelves of work for Trillium war. Realized today that I have 3 kiln loads time left before I need to be done. Oye. No pressure or anything. Sigh. #horuseyepottery

Picture looking down into a pottery kiln, showing the bottom shelf filled with very little free space of a variety of mugs and tumblers.
Picture of the top two half shelves of a kiln set at different heights. The shelf to the left is filled with tall mugs, while the shelf to the right is filled with shorter and tiny pieces including black Rus style tumblers, grey clay ink wells and footed goblets.
I know folks like a kiln load so (because I forgot to take pics of all the shelves) here is what I got. Should be done in a couple hours. #horuseyepottery

Black clay goblets drying upside down on a shelf. Each one is individually carved around the neck in an interpretation of early Rus decorated work.
Upside down black clay goblets drying for bisque firing. These are always pretty popular with the re-enactment crowd. #horuseyepottery

Mic Cillian raising his official pirate flag, outside his canvas tent at an SCA event.
Safe and sound at home again (sunburnt) from the SCA event, Barons Brouhaha!
Socializing, fun music jams/performances, mead-tasting, training to be a thrown-weapons marshal.
Wassail!

I taught mustard making at our SCA event today and all 10 (!!!) of the students who signed up came (!!!) the class was smooth and they asked excellent questions. Cooking classes can go off the rails fast. 10/10 would totally teach again. #mySCA #Ealdormere
Sharing a sketch that my friend @pasipal.bsky.social did of Tara and I based on a photo from a few years ago at the first Althing Event.

Sign with the picture of a crown on it that reads βRoyalty Cage.β The.word βcageβ had been scratched out and a piece of paper that says βRoomβ had been stuck beside it.
Yesterday my local #SCA group hosted #Ealdormere Coronation, which was attended by two sets of visiting Royalty from #Avacal. For the safety of the populace, and in the best interests of this small mob of monarchs, we built them an enclosure.

A medieval style painting of a cat riding a horse. The cat is wearing a cape and holding a shield depicting the arms of Greyfells. The card is embellished with bits of holly. The card reads wishing you a Berry merry Greyfells Christmas.
A holiday card made by Lady Friguth Sprec, known as Frith, a member of my local group in the SCA (the Stronghold of Greyfells). #mysca #sca #ealdormere #greyfells #christmas
Several sheets of vellum and paper, being a map of the migration of the Roma people, beside which is a pile of reference books.
This past weekend I attended the Queenβs Prize Tourney. As always it was amazing and inspiring to see the myriad skills of the artisans and scholars of the Kingdom of Ealdormere. Perhaps my favourite item was this in progress map tracing the Roma diaspora! #mysca #sca #ealdormere #qpt #a&s

Made a quartet of medieval Sauces to show off at an arts exhibition today (plus spicy mustard). Cameline, Green Sauce, Lombardy Mustard, and Erbowle (plum sauce). People enjoyed themselves.
