We have come to <BR>realize that doing some art forms on an 8 inch tile can be a major <BR>undertaking. In order to allow folks to do some art forms they might <BR>not otherwise do, we are also now allowing tiles to be produced in a 4 <BR>inch by 4 inch size. These will then easily nest in among the eight <BR>inch tiles for the display.<BR><BR>I encourage anyone, but especially Nobles and Peers to present largess <BR>to the artists whose work they most admire at the Florilegium Tile <BR>displays at Pennsic and Known World Arts and Sciences Collegium.<BR><BR>Please help me spread word about this project across the Known World by <BR>downloading either one of the articles or the flyer from the website, <BR>printing it out and distributing it at your local SCA events.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Stefan<BR>-----------------<BR>A Blending of the Past and Present<BR><BR>Over the past thirteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been <BR>collecting<BR>bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and<BR>articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this<BR>information available to others, I have placed this information in<BR>a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.<BR><BR>The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org<BR><BR>In April I had my harddisk distroy itself. Because I am still trying to <BR>recover from this and because my time has been taken up by other things <BR>such as organizing the Florilegium Tile Project at Lilies War, I’m <BR>afraid that there are no new files this month. Hopefully this will <BR>change soon.<BR><BR>If you have sent me an article for the Florilegium and have not seen it<BR>appear on the website, could you please send a copy to me again, for <BR>alas,<BR>I may have now lost it.<BR><BR>I am always interested in new articles. Especially now. :-) If you have<BR>written an article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, <BR>please<BR>send it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for<BR>more details.<BR><BR>THLord Stefan li Rous (512)892-0036 stefan@florilegium.org<BR>Ansteorra mark.s.harris@motorola.com<BR><BR>Since I don’t have any new files to announce this month, here are a few <BR>summertime related files that might be of interest:<BR>fans-msg Use of folding fans in period.<BR>jalabs-msg Drinks with a sugar or honey-syrup base such<BR>as Sekanjabin (Persian Mint Drink).<BR>cl-Mid-East-msg Clothing of the Middle East.

Want to try a new art form, but <BR>haven’t gotten the courage to plunge into it? Want to show off a period <BR>art to those around you but don’t like the usual SCA A&S competitions?<BR><BR>Well, consider entering an item in the Florilegium Tile Project. This <BR>is a<BR>Known World wide project and have or will be held at three of the major <BR>SCA events this summer. These are Lilies War in June, Pennsic in August <BR>and the Known<BR>World A&S Collegium in September. And you don’t have to be present to <BR>enter,<BR>if you can find someone else to bring your tile to the event.<BR><BR>The basic premise is to make an 8 x 8 inch or a 4 x 4 inch tile using <BR>any art form done during the SCA period, whether it was used then for <BR>tiles or not. Perhaps a carved wood or ivory tile or a parchment tile <BR>of calligraphy or a tile of marzipan or metal tile. You could even make <BR>one of ceramic. No, no solid<BR>chocolate tiles. It has to be a material known in period.<BR><BR>The design on the tile is up to the artist. At each of the display <BR>events<BR>we will be arranging these tiles into a large gridded pattern. At the <BR>event<BR>you will be able to get a listing showing which tile was at which <BR>location<BR>so you can identify the tiles in your photographs later.<BR><BR>More details can be found on the website: <BR>http://www.mindspring.com/~tripper/serena/TileProject/<BR>We even have a maillist for those who would like to discuss tile ideas,<BR>resources or ask questions.
