[Chemin-noir] seeking artists

[Zubeydah Jamilla al-Badawiyyah]

Hi Chemin Noir!

Today, I learned from the Royal Gifts Deputy that Ansteorra will be
presenting a basket to Their Majesties of Calontir. So I'm putting together
the gift basket as quickly as humanly possible.

Would any of you skilled folk have anything that you could donate, made by
your hands, or that could be completed in a very short (ie, no more than 2
weeks) turn around time?  I am *happy* to help defray the cost of materials,
or provide them directly if I can, or do anything in my power to help assist
folks in their crafty endeavors, to put items in the basket.  I'm looking
for anything hand-made by a Northern Region artisan. :)

Please contact me directly if you're willing/able!
