On April 1, the Barony of Jararvellir will celebrate its “50ish” anniversary at Spring Coronation. As they have shared generously of their bounty over the years, Her Excellency is organizing a gift of largesse from our barony, to be presented at the event. A largesse gift is a basket of mixed small items, often handmade and in baronial colors (blue and gold), suitable for handing out as thank-you tokens for good work or as an accompaniment to an award. Examples include handmade braids and cords (great for pendant-style award tokens), trim, pouches, coins, bead ornaments (a short dangle with a charm), pendants and simple jewelry, buttons, toys, or even small project kits. Examples adapted from the SCA’s period include badges and brooches, ribbons and garters, small bags/purses, combs, rings, and more.
If you would like to participate, please make or select items and get them to Her Excellency Caoilfhionn by March 15. Images of Jararvellir’s heraldry and award badges can be found at https://www.jararvellir.org/. Single items are great, and multiples are handy too: up to eight matched small items is plenty. This is not meant to be a complicated, expensive, or time-consuming project! Think of things that are easy to carry and useful or pleasing for a variety of personas and interests.
PLEASE: No food, liquid, or scented items (soap, lotions, candles) for this project.
If you need ideas, have questions, or have an idea but need funds or materials to make it happen, please contact Her Excellency Caoilfhionn: baroness@nordskogen.org
