This is a work in progress (obviously). - Eleanor
Introduction
Mistress Eleanor fitzPatrick embarked on a personal crusade with three goals - to make the business area of EK Royal at Pennsic be beautifully impressive instead of merely functionally utilitarian, to inspire lots of people to create the beauty and feel a sense of ownership and pride in EK Royal, and to show people that decorating a Pennsic camp is easier than they might think. Stage one was to create a set of faux-stained-glass lanterns for the courtyard to hang from the existing lantern hooks. Stage two was build a set of faux-candle chandeliers for the meeting tent.
Stage three of this project was to create a set of painted wall hangings, in the style of the Manesse Codex, depicting East Kingdom arms, awards and orders. Baroness Cassandra Boell agreed to do the hard work of converting Codex panels into flattened cartoon-like line drawings and modifying them to show EK heraldry instead of the originals. Mistress Eleanor took those converted line drawings, projected them onto canvas using a home theater projector and traced them in pencil. She hemmed them, then put them together into "paint-by-number" type kits and send them out to various teams to be painted.
