Heraldic Tableware Set With Golden Embroideries
Flatware holders made by Mistress Anya and Mistress Shoshanna of Atenveldt. These were gifts for the populae attending this food based competition event. These would be nice for largesse. I will post one more pic to show detail.
Period Head Coverings OR, alternately, What Hat Goes with My Outfit? Part I: Early Period to 12th Century I'm not a "Cover your head!" Nazi, but I do think that it adds to the Medieval-esque feel of an event when more people wear the correct hat. For most of the SCA period, head coverings (head-ware)…
Last year, I participated in the Sable Swap, a kingdom-wide secret gift exchange. You may remember that I made an embroiderer's kit for my assigned giftee. It was easy to decide what to do because, as an embroiderer, I know what I would love to receive. This time, though, I got a gentleman with an
Some needlebooks finished last winter and given for largesse
ow many of these projects are there going to be? Actually quite a lot, considering how many pouches we produced in a year....that doesn't count the pincushions and then needlerolls and other such things. Well....

I've been wanting to come up with some good things that I can create for largess (for non SCA people this is things that are given as gifts and thank yous) that will be handy, relatively inexpensive and lend to a more historically accurate looking group. I love waxed linen covers because they are all…

I admit it, I'm a bit of a magpie. I love pretty, shiny things. Jewelry, goldwork embroidery, silk, you name it. Some of my favorite gifts and largesse have been veil pins, which feel my shiny addiction nicely. A local bead store was going out of business recently, and had a ton of items on
Largesse idea for gardeners
I've written in the last entry that Calontir is in a Norse reign, and as a result of that, I got to do some research in bits and pieces for Her Majesty Ylva to give as tokens. As I can't make all of them myself, this entry will serve as a way for those who…
So, I've been a little silent lately. It wasn't on purpose, I've just been working on a lot of stuff lately, and it's sometimes hard for me to balance the things I like to do (this blog) and the things I've committed to doing (the things I'm going to be posting about this week). It's
Games Guild of Ealdormere
Shortly after making my Saccoccia (pocket bag) I met up with a few women who play in the SCA and we made up a bunch of pocket-bags to give away as largess. I'll admit, I don't totally understand largess - how do items get distributed? What do people do if they get largess that isn't suitable for…
As mentioned in yesterday's post, I decided to put together a very basic toiletry kit for SCA camping. In all the etiquette and bathing refe...
