Mari Lywd Smackdown Challenge

Thus saith the Mari Llwd:

“While coward you within your rooms

In terror of the plague,

‘Tis I that crept, as from the tombs,

‘Tis I, you now must beg!

Your Baroness is now my . . . ”guest”

And ever more shall be -

Unless in battle, me, you best,

If you would set her free!

With insults couched in rhyme and verse

We’ll jab and trade and spar.

‘Tis only then you’ll lift my curse,

If good enough, you are.

So, come prepared with several darts,

Each one with lines, but few,

And I, to wound your mortal hearts,

Shall likewise wait for you…”

Winter Folklore poem setting:

Lessons Learned

We all start somewhere. Show us your first piece of a new art and tell us what you learned from the experience.

Newcomer A&S Participation Challenge.

It is a very simple challenge: be a newcomer and make something for the official A&S display or competition at each event. It can be an entry in one of the competitions, a work in progress or open display. Any attempt at a period art or science will do, or even something to hide or disguise a mundane object as part of your SCA kit. Documentation not required (for this challenge, at least). If you have been playing in the SCA less than three years you are eligible. Just see Lady Hextilda, who is running the A&S at the event, and fill out the entry form she gives you. The prize will be determined by a blind drawing, so the skill level of your work doesn't matter for this challenge. Everyone has to start somewhere! - Sponsored by Baroness Delia

Solars

Adair of Makyswell will be hosting a Beading and Needlework Solar at Yule Toy Tourney Saturday the 11th of December and anticipating that we shall gather after morning court. We shall have such treasures such as Hot Chocolate and tea’s so bring your favorite mug or cup to partake the pleasures of such beverages and it might be amazing with small tidbits of delights for you to enjoy. Think of all that you could accomplish while either beading or doing embroideries for the Holidays.
