Let me introduce myself. My name is Alianora la Tesserande (a fancy French way of saying Eleanor the weaver). I am located in the Barony of Bakhail in the East Kingdom (greater Philadelphia area) I play with all things fiber related. I spin, weave, knit, crochet, quilt, cross stitch, and bobbin lace. I am taking advantage of this challenge to learn more about bobbin lace, to learn blackwork embroidery, and to have fun with calligraphy and illumination. I just learned about the challenge a month or so ago, and my head is spinning with the possibilities.
As it stands, I am considering a few plans of attack.
I want to complete 50 scroll blanks. I also want to see the Tyger Signet's face when presented with a stack of 50 blanks. :-)
I want to try some new crafts and offshoot crafts. I am especially interested in advancing my knowledge of surface augmentation and hand stitching-hence bobbin lace and blackwork. I am considering using this portion of the challenge to try for a membership and ranking in the The Keepers of Athena's Thimble, which is the Embroiderers' Guild of the East Kingdom.
While it isn't Arts and Sciences, generating my own armor and ammunition to become a combat archer for the Barony of Bhakail certainly feels like a sufficiently crafty endeavor that my progress to that end will be tracked here as well.
