  • SCA Circlet of Lordship, Sterling Silver with Amber and Sapphires
    Artisan’s Name: Lord Snorri skyti Bjarnarson, MKA David Haldenwang, [email protected] Title of Project: SCA Circlet of Lordship, sterling silver with amber and sapphires Overview: I really like shiny things. I decided I needed more shiny things, but pretty shiny things are extremely expensive. I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and learn to make more shiny things myself, while saving some money. I chose to make a circlet for myself because it gave me the opportunity to make something particularly visible and gaudy. I used sterling silver, 14k gold, and fine silver, because only thralls wear brass, and chose sapphire and amber cabochons to mount on it, because my arms are Or and Azure. I chose to use seven gems, for the simple reason that seven is not six – I do not want this mistaken for a Baronial coronet. Historical Basis: Some of the earliest forms of headgear worn to denote royalty or nobility are the diadems worn by the ancient Greeksi. These are still preserved in museums, and illustrated on many coins of the era. For example, this coin, of Antiochus III of the Selucid Empire (ca. 223 BC – 187 BC), shows him wearing a diadem, and bears the inscription in Greek ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ, of King Antiochusii: While these diadems started as simple ribbons or wreaths, worn upon the head for ceremonial or religious reasonsiii, by the 4th century, it was fairly common for rulers in the Greek world to wear a golden wreath on their head as a symbol of nobility or even divinity – because many depictions of the Greek pantheon showed the gods wearing wreaths: Heracles with wreath of white poplar leavesiv: There is also the story of Apollo and the nymph Daphne, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which she is pursued by Apollo and turns herself into a laurel tree.

  • Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908
    Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908 Beyond the High Sierra and near the Nevada line lies Inyo County, California—big, wild, beautiful, and lonely. In its center stretches the Owens River Valley, surrounded by the granite walls of the Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the east. Here the remote town of Bishop hugs the slopes of towering Mount Tom, 13,652 feet high, and here I was born on January 6, 1890. When I went to college, I discovered that most Californians did not know where Bishop was, and I had to draw them a map. My birthplace should have been Candelaria, Nevada, for that was where my parents were living in 1890. My father was an engineer in the Northern Belle silver mine. I was often asked, "Then how come you were born in Bishop?" and I replied, "Because my mother was there." The truth was that after losing a child at birth the year before, she felt Candelaria's medical care was not to be trusted. The decline in the price of silver, the subsequent depression, and the playing out of the mines in Candelaria forced the Albright family to move to Bishop permanently. We had a good life in Bishop. I loved it, was inspired by its aura, and always drew strength and serenity from it. I have no recollection of ever having any bad times. There weren't many special things to do, but what- ever we did, it was on horseback or afoot. Long hours were spent in school.
