Some incredibly kind and gifted artisans made the various hair jewelry and accessories that I wore for my elevation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incredibly talented (and recently elevated!) Seong Myeong Su Daegam Daesaseong<\/a> painted the red silk fabric that would become my face mask, based on a piece of embroidered silk from the Tang Dynasty featuring florals and ducks<\/a>. She used the same technique she used for the rank badges on her danryeong. I highly encourage you to read more about her work over at Gold and Jade<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Excellency Caterina Angelique Coeur Noir made me a wonderfully repousse brass comb that served as my central hair accessory. It features a dragon (which is in my badge) and some pearled osmanthus flowers. She doesn’t have an SCA blog, but you can see her work on Facebook<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honorable Lady Sara al-Garnatiyya etched the two side combs and attached them to pre-made teeth, designing them to serve as complements to the central comb. You can see more of her metal and enamel work on her blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countess\/Laurel Gwenhwyvar verch Owen ap Morgan (Northshield) made the wonderful hairpins that Mistress Una Barthrsdottir, Mistress Wuennemon die Naehrin, and Countess Aelfgifu Haraldsdottir put in my hair as part of my ceremony. I wanted to include this as a nod to the hair-pinning ceremonies that marked a new stage of live for women during the Tang Dynasty<\/a>. It also meant that These large pins were meant to mimic the array seen in the donor portraits I was mimicking for my elevation outfit<\/a>. She created a mirrored set of six for me, featuring laurel leaves and a squirrel, to reference my heraldry. Countess Gwen also made my peerage banner, which was a total surprise to me. You can see her work on her Patreon<\/a> and on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
