Probably.  I get creative with circlets without ascending points [but with lots
of descending embellishment, loops of beads, etc.]

"Can't"?  I Think Not.  Tell them that you are doing what you love and to stay
out of the way unless they want a Kiri-shaped hole through them! Seriously, not
letting one's landed baronage do the things that they enjoy about the SCA is a
one-way ticket to burnout and we all want to combat that.  I'm trying to muscle
our landed baron, Duryn the Red, into doing more cooking stuff.  He's famous for
"feeding the masses" and someone should be using his awesome outdoor kitchen
setup besides me and my projects!
