Clan Artisans

This is the work of Lord Valdis of Gotland, a Clan Kyle Man-at-Arms.  The Pelican was carved from the thigh bone of a cow and was made to be given to Master Cahan Kyle at his induction into the Order of the Pelican.  The Pelican is the highest award for service given in the SCA and Lord Valdis wanted to create it in honor of Master Cahan.  The Celtic Cat is carved by Lord Valdis on the back of a wood chair.  If you wish to see more of Lord Valdis's work you can go to his web page at :http://members.xoom.com/Lordvaldis/index.htm (click on pictures to view)

Her cooking repertoire includes, Epulario or the Italian Feast, le Viandier de Taillerent, and The English Housewife by Gervase Markham (click on picture to view)  Tirza's Favorite Link: Medieval / Renaissance Food
