[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 76, Issue 21

Mon Jan 18 12:01:27 CST 2010

Twist ye, Twine ye ,even so mingle shades of joy and woe.
Hope , Joy, Peace, and strife, in the thread of human life

While the mystic twist is spinning an infants life's beginning. Dimly seen through twilight bending, Lo  the winged angels shapes attending.

Passions wild and follies vain, Pleasures soon exchanged for pain; love and jealousy and fear within the magic dance appear.

Now they wax and now they dwindle, whirling as a whirling spindle. Twist ye twine ye, even so, mingle human bliss and woe.

It is designed for the purpose of making heavy cord. It is not a lucet. It is wooden, has four rods each 12 inches long separating two panels each six inches across. The instructions and the ring weight did not come with it. The name of this marvelous device starts with the letter M. Past that, I don?t remember. I would LOVE to download the instructions and start using this new toy. I am sure I can come up with a center weight but without the name of the device, searching is going to be difficult.

Any ideas?

Cheers

The name  of this marvelous device starts with the letter M.  

You have a Morodai for making Kumihimo - Japanese cord.  When  finished, it 
is impossible to differentiate the product from Norse Whipcord  Braiding.  

You can use a small bag filled with sand or rice or beans, etc etc as a  
center weight.  You will probably want at least 8 "bobbins" to wind cord  on.  
The heavier the weight and the bobbins, the more elongated the  pattern.  
Bobbins could be pieces if larger dowel, bolts with nuts,  etc.  Pieces of 
cardboard or short pencils need more weight added to work  well.  When 
working, if you use both hands at once the motions almost  become a dance and are 
very peaceful and soothing.

Try 4 pairs of colors.  Each color is across from its  mate. 

1    2
4                3
3                4
    2      1

Work around the disc continuing in the same direction using both  hands:
Pick up and exchange color 1.  
Pick up and exchange color 2.  
Pick up and exchange color 3.  
Pick up and exchange color 4.
Pick up and exchange color 1.

Next time you see me. check out the straps on my apron dress.  They  are of 
course Norse whipcord braiding (But I made them on my Morodai).

Have fun!

It sounds like a kumihimo

Greetings!
Several people have emailed me to say they wish to pre-reg for Estrella War,
but the www.estrellawar.org site is down. However, you can still pre-reg
until 11:30 PM tonight using a direct link to ACCEPS:

That is the item.  I remembered our conversation about how to operate it, but the item was incomplete.  Now to make the bobbins .... needed approximate weights and such before deciding how to go about it.

Thanks!!

Greetings from Eduard and Asa, King and Queen of the glorious lands of

Atenveldt.

Estrella War. Two words that conjure up thoughts of that one of the great

truths of The Society; that we are all family. Estrella War has been, for so

many people around the Knowne World, where we meet for the first time,

friendships are forever formed, and We pick-up previous conversations from

years past as if they had never stopped.  It is also for Our Society the

singular event where we know that the vast majority of our SCA family will

be journeying from all over to visit. It is Our Family Reunion. For many in

the SCA no other event in the entirety of the Knowne World brings so much

excitement or defines what the SCA is all about!

Her Majesty and I are aware that the world outside the SCA has been dark for

many people. We are also very aware that it has been very difficult

economically for many to Pre-register before the January 17th deadline.

Since Estrella War is one place we can all come together as a Society, no a

FAMILY, Her Majesty and I have asked the Autocrats for Estrella War to

extend the deadline to January 25th in order to allow everyone the

opportunity to save money by Pre-registering for the war.

In case you were needing some other reasons to Pre-register here are some of

the great benefits to doing so by the NEW DEADLINE of January 25th:

1. SAVE $20: The HIGHEST price you pay to Pre-register an Adult is $20 LESS

than you pay at the gate for an adult, regardless of the day you arrive

(ADULT MEMBER: Pre-reg=$65, Gate=$85, NON-MEMBER: Pre-register =$75,

Gate=$95).

2. Pre-registered people can get in a day earlier than people who pay at the

gate (At 8:00AM, Monday, February 8, 2010, instead of Tuesday, February 9,

2010). So you pay LESS, but get in earlier!

3. Pre-registrations can be transferred to someone else if you can't go at

the last minute. So in the unfortunate event that your plans change, you can

sell the Pre-registration to someone who is going, and they can use it.

4. Front gate only accepts cash and traveler's checks, but you can

Pre-register with a credit card!!

5. The entrance line for Pre-registration is generally shorter, and always

moves faster than the General Admission line. So you can get onsite and get

your camp setup sooner when you arrive.

See all this information and the get the link to Pre-register at:

http://tinyurl.com/estrellaprereg  or go directly to Pre-register at ACCEPS
(

http://tinyurl.com/accepspreregdirect )

*Having difficulty paying the full amount at this time? We have an answer

for you!* Though this is not official Estrella War Policy it should be known

that the war has a very liberal Pre-registration policy. If you can't pay

the full adult price now you can make a deposit of sorts by Pre-registering

as a Youth ($20) and they will let you pay the balance at the gate. Doing

this will enable you to still get the Pre-registration rate.

Troll has informed me that they are already prepared for this at the gate.

If you are an adult who Pre-registered as a Youth, to help speed up the

process when you arrive at Gate, go straight to the cash registers and tell

them there that you need to pay for a Youth to Adult upgrade. After you pay

the difference take the receipt they give you and go get in line to pick up

your Pre-registration packet.

We hope this information assists you in your plans to coming to Estrella War

and we look forward to seeing all of Our Family there,

Eduard              Asa

If you are using rattail, think 1 cm dowel cut 2 inches long, and glue 4  
pennies to each. But to try it out and practice, wind your cord around  
anything handy .  Your bottom weight needs to be more or less the same as  the 
total of the bobbins .
