SO. I am really bad at this whole blogging thing. Even on Facebook I'm bad at it. I will try to be better!
WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO:
Harpery -- been playing and practicing a LOT and learning new tunes! As things have been opening back up event-wise I have been bringing my wee harp, though I haven't gathered the courage to play it for anyone yet in public. XD Soon though! I have a pretty solid repertoire of tunes in hand, about five of them that just need a bit more practice and polish before they're performance-ready. I'm still studying with Mistress Telynor too, and we've been working out arrangements for some of those tunes together. ^__^
Scribalry -- been keeping my hand in here too! That "big seekrit project" I was working on when last I posted was a County scroll for Grand Contessa Vera upon stepping down as "plague Queen"; I did the bar and ivy frame for this overall spectacular scroll, and Vera suitably lost her shit over it. <3 I've been doing other scrolls too, mainly replacements for people who lost their original scrolls in fires and such -- working on the second such of these now.
Etc -- I wrote a paper (that's eventually going to be a class) on the medieval harp in the British Isles and entered it in the Wreath of Athena display/competition at Crown a couple weeks ago. I CAME IN SECOND!!! My first time ever doing such a thing -- I am still basking in the afterglow. XD I also researched and am registering a good new name, keeping the Ommadan part (as I've been known as such ever since I started playing in 1975, when heraldic things were much less... accuracy-informed XD). It's being decided even as I type -- hopefully it will go through!
Other than that, I'm considering applying to/volunteering for an office (either as Seneschal or Exchequer) within the Province of the Mists, which is starving for officers and in danger of going into abeyance as people move out of the very expensive Berkeley area. I would hate to see the birthplace of the SCA become inactive as an official group. Working on an SCA resume toward this end; we shall see what comes of it!
And I think that's everything up to now...
