Today I attended the Coronation of Hirsch Ross Eichmann and Magdalena vander Meere in Calontir (specifically in the Barony of the Lonely Tower. Despite very cold temperatures, last minute covid restriction changes to keep everyone safe, and a bit of drama surrounding a minor fire it was an amazing event.
This was a big event for me personally because I entered my first ever A&S competition. The theme was largesse so I entered .5 oz samples of angora wool. There were 16 boxes of wool; some from each of my 5 rabbits (photos of the rabbits on the Angora page where you can also find a working annotated bibliography).
Because I’m type-A (and slightly insane) I may have gone a bit overboard on my entry. Each box was labeled, included a card with the name of the rabbit that the wool came from and the wool was wrapped in tissue paper to cut down on static and avoid it floofing (yes I just made that up) out of the box.
The entry also included pictures of 4 of my 5 rabbits (I need to do a photo shoot), my full documentation, a summary page and the bibliography in frames for those who didn’t want to touch but wanted some information about the documentation.
If you would like to take a look at my documentation you are welcome to check it out here. My plan is to build upon this research and enter future contests with my angora wool in various forms and especially to continue to work to prove that these rabbits existed in period.
