[Steppes] Sponsored Prize Competition

[Jann Mays]

Artisans entering Steppes A&S competition (and others),

I highly recommend adding a "reproduction piece" to your body of work as per
His Excellency Baron Edwin's criteria listed below.  I remember many years
ago being fascinated by a piece of work that was submitted by a young woman
whose interests were in the metal arts.  She had made a reproduction of a
medieval woman's dagger that was absolutely wonderful.  The handle was in
the figure of Eve holding the apple.  The museum documentation with pictures
was beside it so you could compare the original museum piece with this
woman's work.  Her name escapes me, but she may have been one of the first
Steppes Artisans.

Encouragement of this sort in the arts permits us to work on those items
that make us feel a little more "medieval," don't you think?  Thank you,
Your Excellency, for sponsoring this type of prize contest at Steppes
Artisan.  I am looking forward to seeing the entries.

Respectfully,
Gabrielle
