EEEEC: Challenge Wrap Up
Following on from our previous Arts and Sciences challenge, the Persona Gubbins Challenge, where we explored projects to enhance our persona, the Ladies of Amberherthe, with the gracious support of Their Excellencies, Grim and Alexandra, Baron and Baroness of Southron Gaard, and Lady Adelsea Gladwyne, then Southron Gaard Arts and Sciences Officer, having been inspired by our own post-Faire to-do list, but more especially by the enthusiasm and excitement of many newcomers as they thought upon what they had beheld and experienced at Faire last year, and planned for this year, devised the Event Embellishment, Elaboration, and Edification Challenge and invited the populace to make or practice arts and sciences with a focus on use at events.
