[Ansteorra] New Crowns and Coronets

[Baronman at aol.com]

What ever happened to the Imperial margarine crowns- since I only saw them  
worn once at a coronation ( when they were presented to the Crown) they 
should  be in pretty good shape still?

Ansteorra needs new crowns and coronets. The "new" set is 10 years  old
(or more) so the financial committee has approved the purchase of  new
ones! In an effort to choose the best design and materials from  the
best artisans, We are accepting bids for the creation of new  crowns
and coronets for the Kingdom of Ansteorra.

The tentative  timeline is that bids are due May 10, 2010. A digital
version is  acceptable, although an original signature will be
requested if your bid is  chosen.

A decision will (hopefully) be made May 15 or 22. If there are  any
designs where we want to ask the submitter to modify the bid, we  will
have that information back to the submitter(s) by May  31st. Revised
bids will then be due within two weeks.
We would like  to wear the completed crowns before we step down in
November. It would be  nice to have all four done then, but if not, the
coronets won't be needed  until January 1.

There are only three requirements:
1) Must be  obviously Ansteorran
2) Must be adjustable
3) Should not be confused for  a Court Barony or Viscounty hat

The rest is up to the artisans - do  what you do best!

There is a legal bid form to fill out and send in  with any sketches or
additional materials. Since the email list strips  attachments, please
email Us or check Our website for a pdf copy. Also,  please forward
this message on to any other artisans you think may be  interested. The
more choices, the better!

If you have any questions  or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact 
Us.

Regards,
Jean  Paul & Gilyan
