More Research, & More Projects

While I've found a few books on Chinese calligraphy and brush painting,  I haven't had much time to really try out the activities in those books to learn this new art.

While I haven't done much with the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) for years now, with all the calligraphy and illumination (C & I) I've been doing I've gotten the bright idea to see if Ansteorra needed any new charters designed.  All of the digital facsimiles, I've been looking at for fun, has inspired me. The Ansteorra Scribal site hasn't changed in a few years for the most part, but the contacts are up to date, so after a few emails I found out that, yes, new charters would be a wonderful thing.  So I've been reading through the award texts, reading the heraldic site for the history on the awards to get a feel for them, and making notes.

Ginger has also started looking at sewing some T Tunics so I've been finding her resources on that. I've also picked up my inkle loom again, to see about making some trim for the tunics.  While looking for Ginger's information, I've found some patterns I'm really looking forward to trying in the evenings of watching TV, when I'm not doing C & I.
