http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Sorry for the Absence! A photo by vhersch rhianydd. I've had to get some non-SCA life things in order, hence my absence. Let's get caught up, shall we? A couple of reigns ago, there was a blank border contest. I entered, and won third place for this entry. I painted the scroll. Talk about a really cool thing, right? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My etsy store - belle étoile jewellery. I share H...

Just another byzantine blog. About Me and Contact Konstantia. Konstantia’s SCA Life. Newer posts →. Catalina’s Laurel Scroll. May 30, 2016. I also used decorative elements from a 12th century Andalusian Koran. To further augment the text. After the text was completely down on both pages, I started adding in the ornamentation and illumination. I used some pigments I made in a class taught by Mistress Jehanne Bening.

Konstantia's Kreations: A Panoply of Scrolls (and other things)
http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-panoply-of-scrolls-and-other-things.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Monday, January 13, 2014. A Panoply of Scrolls (and other things). I've been juggling a couple of things lately, including three scroll commissions from the outgoing queen of Calontir, and learning how to use my new lampwork torch. I also entered a blank border contest. So, after my trip to the Middle East, I was inspired by the many, many, many Qu'ran pages I saw at Qatar's Museum of Islamic Art. As well as this page.

Konstantia's Kreations: Gulf Wars Largesse
http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2014/02/gulf-wars-largesse.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. This year, I was requested to make something "kickass" for a largesse gift basket for Their Majesties Calontir to give to their recipient kingdom. It didn't have to be big. But it did have to be neat. You see, I found those glass veil pins. But, I have go sharpen brass to make some new veil pins - maybe some for my etsy shop! February 4, 2014 at 6:57 AM. February 4, 2014 at 7:10 AM. Emery cloth ...

Konstantia's Kreations: Roman-inspired Earrings
http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2013/06/roman-inspired-earrings.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Friday, June 14, 2013. I love Pinterest for finding similarly-minded Roman and Byzantine jewellery fans and for sharing all sorts of awesome. Including this pair of earrings that's housed at the V&A. (Provenance can be found here. Even though these are a little more complicated than I can do right now, I can at least come close with what I do have. See what you've got in your craft stash and see what you can figure out!

Konstantia's Kreations: December 2013
http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Scarab Rings, Pinterest, and You . . er, Me. Sometimes, I go on Pinterest trawls. I find awesome things. Including scarab rings. Which are a bit out of period/location for my persona), but also other sorts of rings, including one with a completely wire-wrapped band. Intaglio rings with essentially a bead. And plain wire rings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My etsy store - belle étoile jewellery.

Konstantia's Kreations: EKAE Swap #5
http://kaloethina.blogspot.com/2014/06/ekae-swap-5.html
The stories, art, and life of a sixth century Rhomaioi in these Modern Middle Ages. Sunday, June 8, 2014. I just got done with the latest East Kingdom Artisanal Exchange. And I have to tell you, this one challenged me a lot. To be fair, my Laurel did lay down a couple expectations about doing something a bit more . . . involved . . . than my last few swaps. But I also did the paternoster that you see to your right. And I also worked on a more consistent bead shape. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dun Gleanne Brewery: An (unnamed) Middle Eastern Stew
http://matsukazebrewing.blogspot.com/2014/09/an-unnamed-middle-eastern-stew.html
My recipes and experiments in brewing, as well as cooking recipes (mmmm.stew). Tuesday, September 16, 2014. An (unnamed) Middle Eastern Stew. For those who are familiar with how I cook, you know I like stews. A lot- Particularly ones from all over. This particular one was inspired by a beef stew recipe in the book, Real Stews. As always, the measurements are approximate- spices should be done to taste. However, they are approximately proportionate. 15-2 lbs beef, either ground or finely chunked. I consid...

Dun Gleanne Brewery: Sauerkraut Pie
http://matsukazebrewing.blogspot.com/2015/06/sauerkraut-pie.html
My recipes and experiments in brewing, as well as cooking recipes (mmmm.stew). Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Sounds a bit.odd, doesn't it? It isn't quite what you are thinking, but is a kind of Germanic Shepherd's pie, covered with mashed potatoes. I really cannot remember where I first found the recipe I based mine off of. 15 Lb sauerkraut (not juice). Ideally, of course, you want homemade sauerkraut. 1-15 lb pork sausage, brats or similar. 1-2 lb pork chops, cubed (or an equal amount of ground beef). Figure ...
