[MR] Treachery on the Takaido has an A&S display to remember!

[Fletcher Martha]

Greetings to all!

Now that I have had two full nights of slee, I am now
coherant enough to regale you with the wonders of the
Arts and Sciences of this past Saturday at Treachery
on 
the Takaido in the Barony of Bright Hills.

I would like to thank Mistress Ingvild Josefsdattir
for her help all day at the A&S check in table. She
was invaluable in helping to procure judges at the
last minute. She is also a hoot to spend the day with.


A big thanks goes to our Autocrat Michel von Schonsee
who gave me ample A&S space in the hall. There were so
many talented folks who brought items that we needed
every square inch!

My very big thanks and high fives go out to all of my
judges for the A&S and Brewing competitions. You all
shared your time and knowledge to help us decide the
best entries out of a tough line up of items. Thank
you's go out to Lady Janina Krakowska, Mistress Rowena
of Avalon, Mistress Margherita, Lord Denis de Dijon,
Mistress Ingvild, Master Tristan Alexander, Maestra
Karen Larsdottir, Baroness Belphoebe de Givet, and
Master Ruaidhri an Cu. Please forgive me if I have not
acknowledged you but my memory is weak but my warmest
regards is not. Please contact me with so that I may
include you in my proper reporting of the events of
the day.

What can I say? If you did not get to stop by the HUGE
A&S area you really missed an impressive display.
There was armor, needlework, a seriously cool WIP
Mayan scroll, a very interesting and extensive display
explaining a Japanese batik dye technique, tablet
weaving, chain mail, woodworking,  Horse barding,
Russian costuming, Kumihimo, temari, bamboo flutes,
hand made games and toys, a bouquet of items made
using silk, Japanese garb, the list goes on and on! I
have pictures posted here:
