Projects & Publications

1. Handpainted 150 site tokens for Crown Tourney in the Shire of Lyndhaven, 2009.

2. The Secret Dragon Project:a special puppet/soft parry object for the Queen of the East, her Majesty Marguerite, 2010, GNEW. As a response to the Midrelm fighters stomping over a blue tiger pelt, it was decided that this insult could not be taken lightly. In response and at the request of (Jay Cross) and my husband's then Laurel, Master Henry McQueen, she undertook the project to create a soft parry item for our Queen to use while fencing against her opponent, the Queen of the Midrealm. Thus, she created an "eviscerated and deceased dragon puppet/soft parry. It was not a coincidence that her opponent 's Kingdom Heraldry happened to be a green dragon. Lord Snarfi Snorrison helped with the painting of the scales.

3. Planned and cooked for Mistress Mergriet's vigil, held at the Seige of Castle Theo D'Ore, 2014.

4. Created numerous scrolls for AOA's, Troubadors, and Tir Mara Championships.

5. Created and baked three embellished marchepane cakes for the Royals at the head table, representing "heavy fighting", "fencing" and "Tir Mara A&S". They were presented to the Royals at Crown Tourney, held in Ruantallan, 2018.

In Case of Court

Lady Inga is not fond of being completely surprised, so please let her other half, Snarfi Snorrison know if she is planning to get called up to court, so he can prepare her and let her know she needs to be at court, without divulging why.
