Responsible for: Display on Medieval Writing
As Deputy KMoAS for Writing, I'm supposed to put together a display. Alas, writing is not an art that really displays well. I was thinking of doing a display on ring structure (which Wikipedia tells me is properly called 'chiastic structure,' so I learned a new thing today). Amusingly, I am seeing it called out as an artifact of oral tradition. But! It is inarguably present in various medieval writings, and it lends itself to a nice poster with pictures showing various rings. And then I can have, uh, spirited discussions with storytelling bards about the Rule of Three.
Once again considering: Persona Pentathalon
It is late and I am tired, so I doubt I'll get done five all-new entries. But I can potentially draw from:
- Embroidered ring pouch (Accessories, Category 2)
- Golden battle-standard (Heraldic Display, Category 7)
- Beowulf performance (Performance, Category 5) (Which I will RECORD and have on an iThing in case I get sick again like last time)
- The new book? Maybe calligraphy? (Category 1) (The book, with it cardboard boards, cardstock parchment, and chrome-tanned leather, is very peri-oid, not very suitable for Pentathalon)
- One of my poems (Category 5) done up in calligraphy? (Category 1)
I can make the 'warrior's tunic' for Morgan that I've been meaning to do (Clothing, Category 2) and/or the updated Harley Psalter bag (Accessory, Category 2, potentially with tablet-woven strap, Category 4). I don't remember if the ring bags are gendered; they may be a women's graves thing, in which case I have to lose the ring bag if I'm doing a dudely persona entry.
Oh, haha, and I had the vague idea to get some meat swords and roast/grill some Cornish game hens like in the Bayeux Tapestry? (Cooking, Category 4) That cooking scene is so vague, though. "And here some men tend a large pot containing food. And here a man takes small pieces of embroidered lumps of food off a griddle. And here are lumps on a table, representing food." But wee hens would be very cute.
