An Tir Kingdom A&S

I decided to enter Kingdom A&S as a single-entry this year (well... I decided back in summer of 2018).  I had previously entered my brocade in the Dragon's Mist baronial A&S championship and I wanted to put all the feedback I received to use and complete a much better object to present.  I was extremely pleased with my final result, and the judges awarded me a score of 93 points and I was granted the award "Scholar of An Tir."  This was my personal best score from any competition I've competed in so far, so I was in a bit of shock! 

Below are the pictures of my brocade and my presentation:




Stromgard Baronial A&S "Stormmaker" Championship

I participated in the Stormmaker championship in February and wanted to share some of the pictures from the event!  We had to present two complete entries and create a third entry on site.  The third entry has to be made with fire and the fire had to be created by entrants using period materials.

I presented the Hallstatt 3 tabletwoven band:



I also presented the process of making pit-fired loom weights for a warp-weighted loom:








Here are some pictures of me creating fire and dyeing/sewing my third entry with my laurel (I decided to make a haversack, which came out wonderfully!!):
