I am also proud to state that a good friend asked me to be her student at this event, with the eventual aim to become an apprentice! Though she did say the main reason she asked me was so nobody else would steal me, I hope it's also got something to do with my potential to learn...
January 25th was our Barony's annual masquerade ball and event. The day was great fun, with a fun competition from the heavy fighters (helmets required) in which they shot mini marshmallows at one another from tiny catapults to try and knock down each other's walls made of paper cups. The rapier fighters fought for the assemblage, including two fighters newly certified! The new Bard of Arn Hold was chosen, and there was a marvelous turn-out for the competition of garb inspired by Disney characters. I enjoyed Viscountess Morgan's class, So You Want to be a Consort, and she and I collaborated to teach some dances for the ball. We are hoping to revive the defunct dance guild in our barony at some point soon. I didn't have time or funds for new garb for this event, but my husband found a suede jacket at a thrift store that worked well for a jerkin. He has since removed the sleeves and is planning to embellish and alter it slightly to make it more in-period. You will be able to read all about it at his blog. Here is a photo of me with my spinning watching the fighters, and one of Aonghus in his new garb.
