Cloaks for the Swan's Guard, 2006/7 CE
A massive project spearheaded by His Lordship Asa Martel, this involved much work by many people. Asa and Kjartan spent most of the time on the sewing machines; Anicia and Meredith did most of the layout work; Halima created the captain's trim of tablet-weaving, and designed the inkle-weaving for Anicia, Kjartan, and a few others to weave (for 9 cloaks!). Many hands helped with edging the swans. And pressing. And pre-washing.



Cragmere's Achievement banner, 2005 CE
Doireann designed the achievement, Halima and Zoe painted it, Kjartan applied the finish to the pole, Halima spun and braided the main hanger

Tir Righ regalia - Banner pole and bag
Reann applied the voided star on the ends of the poles, and 3 swans on the inner rim of the removable finial with a wood-burning tool. Kjartan applied the finish to the wood. Halima spun and braided the main hanger (for single-point) and two smaller hanging loops (for double-point), and created the tassels. Halima made the canvas bag, applied the Tir Righ badge (in a better blue than it appears here), and wrote the names of all those involved in the banner project on the inside.
