Amtgard Midreign

This past weekend I didn't have an art show, but attended an event with my medieval group, Amtgard. The event was Midreign, and was held in Valdosta, GA. It was great fun seeing friends I only see a couple times a year, getting to know new ones, seeing what everyone has been doing, and general socialization. We hold a feast, a fighting tournament, an arts & sciences contest, court (awards and announcements) and a bardic (singing and performing around a campfire). I won first place in the arts & sciences contest for one of my beaded jewelry pieces, and had great fun at the bardic. At court I had the great honor to be awarded my Masterhood in the Order of the Dragon, which is for excellence in arts & sciences.

This weekend I will be at an art show in Gainesville, at Oak Hall High School. This is the first year for this show, so it's all a new experience. This should be my last outdoor art show of the season, lets hope some cash flow comes from it - because the last couple shows have been rather scarce in that department :)
