[MR] KASF 2009 Rose Challenge

[chagankhulan at clan-whitewing.org]

"Sounds of beating hoofs, Mongols in the distance spears and bows raised
ready to thwart whatever has offended my good friend!  Chagan to the
rescue!"  Short commercial break for Lamb recipes....

  I am stil not all together but THe winner of the Heart of Atlantia is
Lord Arghylle Buchannan for his Queen's spears chair. Tied for Honorable
Mention are THL Ethelfleda Davidsdottir for a complex folded Islamic
style bead and Dame Olwen the Odd for herSugar plate and marzipan
pieces.

Chagan - not used to rescuing fair ladies but happy to do so.




> On behalf of the Roses of Atlantia I would like to extend my warm
> thanks to everyone who participated in this years Kingdom Arts and
> Science Festival Challenge. Entries were amazingly diverse and every
> one one of them brought forward an essential aspect of what the
> "Heart of Atlantia" meant to them. The talent showcased in this
> particular competition ran the gamut and delighted both the eye and
> all the other senses as well. It gives me great hope to see the
> extraordinary riches that Atlantia possesses in it's Artisans be so
> well represented, given the short preparation time that the Rose
> Challenge afforded this year. I'm hoping that we can make it a part
> of every KASF from now on.

> I would also like to offer my personal thanks to Countess Aryanna who
> capably and generously stepped forward at the very last minute when
> my knee gave out Saturday and took over the judging in so gracious a
> fashion. She made sure that all the Roses present had the opportunity
> to see the entries and participate in the very difficult task of
> selecting a winner for the day.
>
> To the winners, I hope that you had fun and that you enjoy your
> prizes! I'm also hoping that Chagan Khatun rescues me here with the
> names of our winners at some point so that I don't hopelessly mangle
> their names and make a complete fool of myself.
>
> To all the Roses who attended KASF 2009, I thank you, my Sisters, for
> supporting my humble efforts, but most of all, I owe you my warmest
> thanks for supporting the celebration of the myriad arts of this
> wonderful Kingdom in so fine a fashion.

> In happy service to the Kingdom I love--
