Reproduction of the Animal Motif Tablet Woven Band from Evebø



For this year's Arts and Sciences Faire in the Kingdom of Trimaris, I chose to make a reproduction of the famous Evebø band. This was by far the most difficult and most fun weaving project I've worked on thus far.  There was a huge amount fo research, reading, and translation involved and I am very pleased with the results. This was the first time I enteres an A/S competition at the Kingdom level (second time overall), so I was not expecting to do as well as I did. This was meant to be entered as an Artificer level, but doe to some clerical snafus which went unnoticed due to fatigue, it was entered at the Masterwork level. I was very surprised to have scored very well, earning the Laurel's Acclaim, and this project was selected as one of the Gulf Wars entries for our Kingdom. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend Gulf Wars XXV, but some members of the Kingdom were gracious enough to take the entry on my behalf.

Below follows an excerpt of my report. The full thing is very long, but if you would like to see a full copy, please contact me directly and I would be more than happy to share.
