[Artemisia] Fw: Stefan's Florilegium files for March

[Caointiarn]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for March.

If you have written any SCA-oriented articles for your local  newsletter, 
please consider sending them for me for the Florilegium.  You've already put 
in effort researching and writing such an article,  and having it in the 
Florilegium is one way of helping the Known  World as well. Often a class 
handout or a piece of A&S documentation  can also work well. I would 
especially love to get any formal papers  entered in A&S contests. The 
copyright remains with the author and I  accept updates and revisions as you 
learn more.

If any of you are going to be at Gulf Wars in this next week, please 
consider dropping by and visiting. I will be camping with the Barony  of 
Bryn Gwlad which will be camping across the road from the  Ansteorra gate. I 
will also be teaching my class about the  Florilegium twice and my hands-on 
pewter casting class. The first  will be in the class area and the second in 
the Artisan's Row area.

Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past seventeen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  collecting 
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  lists and articles 
submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  this information 
available to others, I have placed this information  in a collection of 
files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  article that 
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  it to me for 
possible inclusion in the Florilegium. A&S documentation  and class handouts 
will also often work out well.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  me 
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  editing and 
web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more
details.
