Next possible tent could be based on this lovely example. Except no horses, and a yurt ring with poles I stead of a market umbrella. #MySCA #TirRigh #AnTir #tents

My 8ft red timurid empire tent pole while pretty wasn't up to snuff, so I decided to make a new pole. 3" sewer pipe and pillar style candle holders are what I'm using. Same technique I used for my 6ft tall white tomurid empire tent. Go girthy or go home. #mysca #AnTir #TirRigh #tents

I may have a migraine that's trying to end me, but I can still sit on the couch with a cold cloth across my head and still felt some wool with my feet. The original use of a reed screen. #antir #tirrigh #mysca

Took the new sunshade to the Barony of Lionsgate Champions Tourney. It worked out pretty nicely. I only have a few tie straps left to sew onto it. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, as it doesn't fit with my more Timurid persona. We'll under a hundred all in. #mysca #tirrigh #antir

So I just soaked the sunshade tarp in silicon dissolved in naptha. Should dry clear and make the tarp full on waterproof. If you try making your own silipoly tarp. Buy dishwasher gloves. Do not rely on latex gloves. My latex gloves broke, and I now have webbed fingers. #mysca #antir #tirrigh

I think I am going to leave it as a sun shade. Also trying to make it so I can assemble it with ground spikes for when we have events indoors. #mysca #antir #tirrigh #sca

Since my mom's passing, the only joy I get from mothers day is inevitably one of my young coworkers asks what I've got planned for mothers day. I yell. MY MOMS DEAD. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME! Then I get to watch these young guys squirm. So much joy.

Thank goodness this particular folly is essentially done. The reed screens last weft reed was placed at Salon Artificum, thus ending 4 solid months of putzing around. An edge binding and some card woven straps are left. 14ft long... oof. Taking a week off. #TirRigh #mysca #AnTir #reedscreen

Last minute tweaking for my display at Salon Artificum next weekend. It's crunch time to finish any write ups, and cover the modern. 5x8 feet is not a lot of space. Lol #sca #mysca #AnTir #TirRigh #reedscreen

I did the math. My reed screen is longer than a museum screen with the same reed count Museum piece is ~1100 reeds / 284cm (9'4") My screen is ~1100 reeds / 378cm (12'4") So my reeds must be larger, or the screen artisans are choosing narrower reed size. #MySCA #tirrigh #antir #reedscreen

Progress on my reed screen The indigo and madder (lac overdye) turned out even better than I anticipated. I do wish I went with a narrower plain reed strip on the edges. There will be a binding strip sewed over it, but it's wider than I pictured in my head. #MySCA #TirRigh #AnTir #reedscreen

The reed screen has begun. 26" of plain reed before the coloured section come into play. I read that the reason for the plain section is to protect the fancy section when rolled up during transportation.

My reed screen display needs a good background. So quickly building a single panel khana yurt wall. Painting it with milk paint barn red cour. Salon Artifum is less than a month away. #mysca #TirRigh #antir #reedscreen

720 wool wrapped reeds. That puts me a little over halfway done. This reed screen is going to be biggly. #mysca #TirRigh #AnTir #sca
