Along the Trail of the Third Crusade

Sponsored by Briony of Chatham.

With this challenge I ask you to place your art in historical context…namely from 1189 to 1192. Richard the Lionheart, Phillipe August, and Frederick Barbarossa overtook the voyage to the Holy Land. Their armies routes took them through most of Europe…and don’t forget Richard’s side trip to Sicily to help his imprisoned sister…and into the Levant where they spent two years. I challenge to use your skills to create something that could have been worn, used, eaten, read, sung, or discovered during the crusade. My intent is to attract artisans from a wide range of fields to create items from a specific time and context.
