[MR] STORVIK A&S This weekend

[Deborah Doyle]

Unto the Artisans of Atlantia...First...sorry for the blank post.  That was to go to DRAFT and sent instead.

The traveling caravans will make camp THIS weekend for merry making, tourneys,
and wondrous sites.  There will be food, fighting, archery, horses and various artistic
competitions for one and all.  All will be a delightful feast for the eyes.  All
this will be taking place from Friday, October 14th thru Sunday October 16th in 
Marlboro, Maryland.

 Of the Arts and Sciences, Competitions are three:

1)  Tarot Cards -- Entrant must design three cards from the Major Archanes in a 
period of their choice.  All three cards must be from the same time frame, place,
etc.  This does not mean copying a specific tarot deck's style -- yours to determine.
Documentation of the style is required.  Individuals choice of which three of the
22 cards they wish to depict.  - 2 PRIZES:  Book:  The Tarot, History, Symbolism
and Divination by Robert M. Place - Best TAROT representation in a specific period
style;  Calligraphy & Illumination supplies -- Best Art Work/Design

2)  Caravan Foods -- Foods that would have been made by travelers or caravans of
the Middle Ages.  Documentation on preparation method, ingredients, and storage 
are all required.  PRIZE:  BOOK Gypsy Feast

3)  General A&S -- Any project that would have been or could have been done 
by travelers or in caravans.  PRIZE:  Needlework tools

Brewing is a competition of itself:  Cordials as used for medicinal purposes.  Prize
to be sponsored by Lord Michael von Schonsee.

Scroll competition using traveling/caravan theme sponsored by the Kingdom Scribe,
Baroness Julianna Fiorentini.

There will also be an Open Display of A&S projects either completed, or in progress.
Let one and all see the wonders of Atlantia’s artisans.

Some of the ideas for these competitions do not belong to just one member, but to
various members of the A&S Community who constantly place ideas for fun and 
frivolity, while staying within any number of ranges of themes and timeframes...Unto
all of you, I say thank you for letting me plunder and borrow some of your ideas.
A report will be forthcoming on the wonders of the Atlantian Population as they 
meet these challenges.
