[Ansteorra-announce] Lughnasad A&S, Show your NEW skill

[Cat]

Attention all Artisans and would be Artisans,

As the winds blow cold and winter settles in, thoughts
turn to warm golden days, harvest celebrations and the
camaraderie of an Ansteorran Lughnasad hosted by the
Canton of Loch Ruadh.. 

Though months away, the time is now to plan your entry
for the Lughnasad X A&S Competition.

This year’s format will focus on newly acquired skills
and crafts.

For ideas consider this:

A seamstress learns to carve wood, a painter begins to
ply floss for embroidery, a wood crafter enamels
copper.

All have thoughts of that which we have always wanted
to learn, now is the time to put thought to action. 

Rules:

Entries must be the fruits of skills or crafts newly
learned since the turning of the year (Jan.2004
through Aug. 2004) 
The skill or craft should be sufficiently different
from your field of expertise or experience for you to
be considered a novice. Please no entries where-in you
embroider with silk rather that cotton etc… 
Divisions will be limited to Adult’s and Children’s
categories with no degrees of skill, as all will be
novice in their new craft. 
For this competition the definition of novice has
naught to do with the number of times a particular
piece has or has not been entered into competition. By
this definition novice simply means that the skill has
been acquired since the beginning of the year. Not
that you have become proficient since the beginning of
the year, but that you have begun learning the skill
within this time-frame. 
Documentation is not required, however a short essay
outlining how and why you chose this new skill, any
difficulties encountered, and your intent to pursue or
abandon the skill would lend support to the entry. 
As the unofficial theme for the upcoming Lughnasad is
“Pirates”, entries with a piratical influence will be
given special consideration by the Co-Crat Laird
Caerell. 
The number of entries per person is not limited, but
all should follow the guidelines as listed. 
 

Plan well during this winter season, work diligently
through spring and summer, and reap the rewards of
your labors with the ending of summer and the
celebration of the harvest.
