I finished two new leather medallions just before Pennsic 50. One is another Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer (Kingdom of Ealdormere) for Sir Richard Larmer, the second is an Order of the Gage (Armored Martial Prowess Kingdom of Æthelmearc) for His Excellency Christian Goldenlok. Both medallions are tooled and painted leather. I have included a couple work in progress shots as well. Enjoy! 

Leather Pelican Medallion

This was done before Pennsic, but just handed off to the new owner in August. Sorry for a bit of dust on the finished project I was in a hurry to take the photo before leaving the deliver it. Thank you to Vanessa Hayes (Thalia Papillon) for making the cord for this project. It really brought it together. Medallion is tooled and painted leather. The black portion is leather dye and increase durability.

Millrind medallion for my Lady

I made this Millrind award medallion for my Lady's (Thalia Papillon) induction into the order of the Millrind (SCA Kingdom of Æthelmearc high merit service award) Tooled and painted leather. The edges are black leather dye and finished with water and wax burnishing. Pardon the backdrop I was working on a model making commission at the same time and had to take a photo in a hurry. 

Painted plague medallion

My Lady Thalia (Vanessa) bought these plague Pennsic medallions a while back and asked me to paint hers. Finally got it off the backlog. Painted it in an hour and a half one afternoon. To be clear I just painted the purchased item. The design, stamp, and construction are the work of the merchant. My apologies we do not recall the name of the merchant. 

Sycamore Medallion

Insert comment about how long since I have posted...So I was able to dust off the leather working tools this month and pound out a project. A Sycamore medallion (SCA Arts and Science award). Made from my Lady, Thalia, who was recently inducted into the order. Tooled, dyed, and painted leather. I made this in about a week, in secret, so there are only two production photo. I will try to get better about updates. 

Well, it has been a damn year...

That moment when you say, "I should really update my blog", and when you do you realize it has been almost perfectly a year since doing so. A big year though. Some sad, but a lot good. A new house, engagement, and many adventures.  I have a large backlog of to-do projects going back several months, but now that the house is a organized a bit, I have started to slowly do some work. Recently I finished this award medallion. This is a medallion for the Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer (Kingdom of Ealdormere). I made one like this for Sir Richard Larmer a while ago, but in true tradition of his generosity, he gave that one away to a new recipient. I wanted to make him a new one to replace the one he gave away. I tried t take a few "in progress" progress shots as well. I have severl other projects on my to-do list in the coming months, so lets hope I can do better than a post a year this time.

More award medallions

I planned to make these Millrind award medallions (SCA AEthelmearc high merit service award) about a year and a half ago. I was distracted by the reign, but finally got around to finishing them. Tooled and painted leather. The edges are black leather dye and finished with water and wax burnishing. Another backlog project off the list.

Minister of the Lists badge

Finished another project. this is an Æthelmearc Minister of the Lists badge of office. I created this as Birthday gift for our Baronial (Rhydderich Hael) MOL Lady Thalia Papillon. The badge is tooled leather. The badge was dyed with black leather dye and the details painted with acrylic paint. I was very please with the level of detail. I did not make the cording.

New Award Medallions!

As part of a project to return the kind generosity of Her Excellency Sadira, Baroness of Thescorre, I took time to create a few Thescorre award medallions. I also used these as part of a class demonstration at the College of Three Ravens last weekend (1/28/17). The medallions are tooled and painted leather. I only managed to finish three as I was a bit under the weather the week before the event.

Order of the Black Talon: The Thescorre Baronial Order of Merit for Martial Arts shall recognize accomplishments in these arts within the Barony.

Order of the Raven's Feather: The ORF is awarded for service to the Barony Thescorre.

Fun medallion time!

I had some fun working on this new medallion. Simple tooled and painted and leather based on the badge for the AEthelmearc Minister of Arts and Sciences badge (SCA). I created two of them to hand out at the Aethelmearc A&S Faire (2106).
