I entered my gloves to the St. Eligius A&S competition. This event every year showcase some of the best A&S items prior to the K&Q A&S in February. I usually enter each year in the experienced competitor level. One of the differences in this competition as to others, is we are the judges. Instead of having a "group" of judges chosen to judge you, we get together with the others competitors in our level and judge each other. I enjoy doing this. I spend the day explaining what I am doing, how I did it, etc. This year I was chosen by my fellow competitors as the best, or I won. It is humbling.
The photo above was captured as I was explaining my gloves to this lovely Lady. She so enjoyed my explanation, asked great questions. As I finished she apologized that she had to leave to go to a meeting. Turns out she was the Queen of the East. I laughed with her. And I apologized that I didn't know her as I don't pay much attention to that side of the Society. I'm aware of it, but not involved with it. She was actually delighted that I didn't know, and just treated her like I do anyone who stops and wants to learn about what I do, and not pander to her. Lovely experience.
