chemise, and a new cotehardie.  Cut out and put together a waffenrock

boy-clothing.  Cut out a jerkin to go with the slops, but didn't get
it put together.  Stained new poles for my new tent.  Finished the

This month I participated in an illumination workshop,
and did the calligraphy and illumination for cards

Veronica:
learning scroll illumination

Pádraig Ó Súileabháin:
Researched and practiced 16th century Dutch illumination.  I have
started to catalog the features present in this type of illumination.
Did some more research on medieval jewelry and 16th century Ireland.
Found a new method to get a good polish on stones that have a hardness
of  7 or greater.  Earlier methods left to many scratches.  Have
cabbed about a dozen stones including one ruby.  I have also made a
ring and a hair pin of silver, and started shaping the pieces for a
swept hilt.  I have also begun putting together a portfolio.


Groups and Guilds:

Scribal Guild:
held a workshop on illumination at the may folk moot

Fiber Guild report:
We talked about getting involved with different groups and creating
activities at events with Defender , 3-stags and Unser Haven Newcomers being
the focus.

Thank you all for your hard work and help in making this such a great barony.
