An Crosaire's Baronial Art Sci Championship

Let the populace show their love! The choice of our next champion is up to everyone one in attendance- one vote per person. The twist is you are allowed TWO entries. Your entry(s) needs to include a mundane item cleverly (or humorously) disguised as an SCA period item.

Will you win the hearts of the crowd by appealing to their romantic nature? Or have folks fighting to give their vote to you? Or both if you possess the creativity?

Rules: One entry can be brought from home and should be something you start now and finish before the event. You may also enter a piece made while at the event using supplies provided on site. You may bring your mundane item to disguise or choose from items provided. The person (not entry) with the most votes wins. This means the votes you receive for each entry will be added together if you enter two. In the event of a tie, our Baronesses have the final vote.
