GAH! I had it right...

GAH! I had it right the first time! Clearly I'm second guessing myself now. I need to power down and calmly review my notes instead of muddling up the numbers in my freak-out. I swear I'm gonna have a stroke over this.

Wow - almost not cool....

Wow - almost not cool. Laying out the tapestry to put armorial details on the royals, cleaning up details of the funeral bier, fashion alterations, making sure I have peerage belts noted, I realized that I'm missing a complete set of royals from the image. Between last panel's fumble and now trying to figure out an aesthetic squeeze-in for another royal couple, I feel like I'm loosing a handle on this project. I only have 18 more panels to go! I can't crash and burn now!

There. One more panel done....

There. One more panel done. I have made enough of my goal that a trip to Highland Foorde is no longer in peril. Thank you all and sundry.

Next on the list is to try and see if I can get year 32 outlined in the next couple of weeks. However, as is my wont, I tend to do a small non-SCA project in between panels in order to avoid burn out and boredom. As its also a potentially paid commission, I'm highly encouraged to finish it. All the better to get to Canada in three more months!

See you all in a couple of weeks. Thanks again.

Hello all, I'm Caroline Polli - sometimes known as Jadwiga.  I'm a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism and have been working on solo project of epic proportion.  It is a hand embroidered tapestry covering the history of the organization, currently clocking in at over 55 ft.


It is my dream to bring it to every Kingdom, potentially every Principality, in the SCA.  Currently on the travel docket is an event in Atlantia (Maryland) and an event in Avacal (Saskatchewan).  Its a lot of driving, made necessary by the size of the tapestry and the display frames.  If I can get gas money covered for the amount of driving ahead of me, there's no reason I couldn't display it!

All the donations will be spent on the travel, minus anything GoFund charges in fees.

For an over view of what exactly is going on tour - here's a site that explains the whole project.   http://carrotkhan.webs.com/
