laurels & more laurels

This is the HTML (i.e., non-massive-file) version of my poem for Baroness Anne-Marie.

Now if I can just persuade someone to illustrate some imprese for me . . .

By illustrait do you mean make the block print? Were they ususally done in wood block or off of engravings?

[ursula]

Wood block.

But I meant redraw some other stuff so I can turn my imprese handout into an article without engaging in blatant copyright violation. (In the massive free time we all have . . . )

Hmm. I would have offered to do a block print for you because it would be fun. But why can't you do the re-drawing? I seem to recall you being totally capable of it... :-) So on a side note, should you want to do another I will make a block print for you. In all of my copious free time. :-)

[ursula]

I am capable but slow. Slow like a sick turtle . . .

Block print sounds fun, though. It can go into the folder of "proposed joint scribal projects."

Oh also, your handout shouldn't have copyright problems if your aren't selling it and are not taking entire books - educational fair use is alive and well, especially as you are not an accredited university and are doing this for a non profit organization. At any rate that is how I justify all of the pics of glass I use in my handouts. We had a lawyer come talk to my studio art seminar class about this sort of stuff and you should be just fine. :-) Now all of the pictures I took of objects in my museum while in DC that Suze is putting up on the website are another issue, but I doubt they will ever be seen by the museum. And I was working for rights and reproductions too, how entertaining...

I'm not worried about handing it out, but sticking it on my website seems a little sketchier.

That is positively, absolutely the best SCA poem I have ever seen.

You. Go. Girl. I love the font and the 'woodcut'. At first glance, I thought you were showing a scan of the Elizabethan print you were using as documentation! :)

[ursula]

Ooh. Thank you.

Well, it sort of is a scan of my documentation . . . I just squished three emblems together (and then documented borrowing other people's illustrations ;) ).

this is random, but...

I got to your journal through some sequence of link-following that started at the dimacs reu page. Do you remember when you found out you had been accepted to the program? (I'm just wondering because I haven't been told that I have been rejected, but I haven't heard anything positive either.) Thanks for reading.

Re: this is random, but...

[ursula]

No, I don't remember, but I seem to recall DIMACS being among the first to respond. Have you heard from other places?

Re: this is random, but...

[greensparkles.livejournal.com]

Heard from one place a while ago (alternate), then heard yesterday that they didn't need alternates. The third place I applied to had a late deadline (last Friday) so I'm not expecting a decision right away.

I just want to know what is going on with DIMACS. (Even if they reject me.) Maybe I will call them soon. :p

Thanks for the response.

Begging's worth a shot-- I think a lot of places reward interest.

Good luck!

That's lovely, Ursule! And so true... I'm going to miss Their Excellencies so much when they step down. *Sniffles*

[ursula]

Me too . . . Though they should still be around :)
