Her Excellency approached me to do two Baronial Awards for the Birthday event. First was an Order of the Silver Bow for Archery to go to Alexandria of Stierbach. The big specification was that it should be pretty. One of her primary periods is the Tudor era so I went looking for something I thought might fit.. I had been meaning to try my hand at cadels, this was my first attempt. I think it came out alright, though I want to practice more cadels before my next one. The hand was a combination of secretary and batarde taken from the exemplar http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b550024840/f48.item I was also asked to do an Order of the Silver Glove (A Stierbach Rapier award) for Obbi inn Bleiki . He is Norse, of the Viking period. So my choice was to attempt to plot out a knotwork design around the badge of the award within a Thor's hammer with the writing around it in Danish and Norse runes.
