Kingdom of AEthelmearc - A&S Award

Come hear the words of Andreas and Kallista, King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc. We have heard Sew much about Our Welbeloved Elinor Walden and Needled to tell the Kingdom about her. Let Us Cut to the point and Gather Our thoughts. Nothing about her is quite what it Seams, she is Knot your average Lady. While she is always working and making garb, she never Seam-stressed. She never Quilts, she has never been de-Pleated. Never Unravels, she always offers Purls of wisdom that gets to the Knitty-gritty of the Fabric of the problem. She makes garb for the Shear fun of it. We have heard of her Pattern of Arts and Science and, Needle-less to say, We be-Weave that she has has earned Our attentions, and thus to We declare that she is a perfect Fit for the tight Knit Order of the Sycamore and give her the right to bear the Thimbles of the Noble Order. And if any seeks to Alter Our Tailor-made decision, We advise them not to be Spoolish and to keep their Darn mouths shut or else they might get Stitches. Done by Our hands on this 10th day of June, AS 58, at the Iris Festival, with all of Our Backing.

Been working on some all ink scrolls.

 The Penguin Is Mightier Than the Swordfish.

The past month or so, I've been knocking out some scroll blanks. Some for the Hael, some for Deftwood, and some for Thescorre. There will more in the coming weeks. No particular reason why I'm on a binge of all ink. I just found some nice images that I wanted to do. And I picked up some new Micron pens to work with. 

Details on the sources can be found on my Flikr page.

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Court Barony

All shall know that We Gareth, King of the dwellers of AEthelmearc, and Juliana, Queen of Mercy and Grace, acting with foresight for Ourselves in the future, have decided to give something to one who has given all things to the Crown and, having received advice, it seemed good to grant to a gift to Ascilla Attebroke at this place that is called White Heart within the lands of Our Shire of Port Oasis. And, having received advice, it seemed good to Grant to Ascilla Arms in the following fashion, Sable, a wolf's head couped close and on a chief argent three oak leaves sable. We would also give, in addition to this Grant of Arms, a Coronet that We shall place upon her head and call her Baroness of Our Court in perpetuity. We wish this gift to be steadfast in perpetuity so that neither We nor Our Heirs should presume to diminish anything. If anything otherwise should be attempted by any person, let them know that they are transgressing under an interdict of anathema that shall last until a full century has passed after Our names are forgotten. In confirmation of this account, We shall sign this warrant with Our marks and have it witnesses on this second day of March, in the 58th Year of Our Society.
