Fyrdracca Shoot!

Posted by

Have you ever wanted to shoot from a Viking longboat? Now you can! The Bee Hive Five, and the crew of the Fyrdraca, have joined forces to bring you this unique opportunity to do something exciting while raising funds for two worthy causes. The cost is $30 (cash only please), and the proceeds will be split evenly between the Fyrdraca Preservation fund and the Lilies Archery fund. The boat will take 15 archers per raiding party, on a maximum of 4 voyages. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served, basis. Inquiries about ticket sales may be made to the following people at events between now and Lilies:

Lady Alessandra de Piro
Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury
Lady Emeline de Moulineaux
Mistress Rahil al-Sirhaan
Sir Robert Brockman

HL Aiden O’Seaghdha Donates Hand Painted Shield to 2014 Lilies Fireworks Fund Auction

Posted by

HL Aiden O’Seaghdha has donated a hand painted shield to the 2014 Lilies’ Fireworks Fund auction held by HL Duncan Skeene.

The shield is a 19″ x 24″ curved aluminum center grip Buckler. It was painted with enamels and Acrylics with enamel clearcoat over the top for protection. The art was done in a 14th century style with figures taken from existing effigies, and a stylized Lilies skyline with exploding fireworks. The surrounding columns and arches are painted in metallic gold and copper enamels to allow those areas to “shine” in the sun similar to Gold Leaf.

The buckler has a stainless steel boss and is wrapped in black Trim Lok and para-cord, and can be a functional shield on the rattan or cut & thrust fields, or just displayed as artwork.

Birdhouse project for Lilies site

Posted by

The Park has requested our assistance in building 150 bird houses and feeders. These must be built to plan, and unpainted ( Sorry, no heraldic birdhouses )

The numbers needed are as follows:

Barn Owl Box – 1 to 2
Bird Feeders – 10
Bluebird Box – 75
Rabbit Traps – 1 to 2 of each style (2 styles)
Squirrel Dens – 10
Wren Box – 10
Wren/Chickadee style – 10
Bat Houses – 3-5 of each style (4 styles)
Kestrel Box – 10
Wood Duck Box 5

Plans are online at:

http://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/outdoor-recreation/woodworking

They do not want anything painted for a number of reasons, raw wood, preferred is cedar.

Please choose a house that is at the top of your skill level to leave easier ones for the beginners.

I love the idea of the kids doing some, and as it turns out, the blue bird is a very easy one and we need 75!

Please notify Lothar if you are planning to build one or more of these.
