Oh, Danabren!

One of the things I never understood when I lived with Gaius was the stack of cardboard folios holding award scrolls under the futon sofa. Someone goes to the trouble of creating a piece of art for you, you should find a place to hang the thing, right? Besides, I figure it's much safer in a frame and on a wall in an apartment this small. Frame was on sale at Michael's and I found some lovely paper with a delicate leaf design in it. Your basic white mat board just was not going to cut it.

Currently it's in the spot inside the front door where my Troubadour was, which means finding another patch of wall space for that or moving this somewhere else. Pros: I'll see it every time I come in the front door or down the stairs, it's out of direct sunlight. Cons: it'll be partially eclipsed by the bathroom door when said door is open. (Wall space is at something of a premium as my third floor space is gabled. Anything I want to hang gets hung downstairs.)

And on THAT note, I really need to deal with the disaster area that is my post-Twelfth-Night living room.

It's a guy thing, I think. I found Wilhelm's AoA and his Queen's Order of Courtesy scrolls in rigid envelopes in a box as I was getting ready to leave the house to the new owners. The AoA had yet to be signed, as it was done after the event itself. I tracked down the original Brigantia Herald, the respective Duke and Duchess. As soon as I get it back (and I have another commission, which may be as of next week), they will be framed.
