SCA History
I joined the Society in November of 2000. My first event was Late Winter Shoot, where I decided to take up archery. Duchess Rustiwue was on the throne and I remember being in awe of all of the clothing and the comraderie. I felt like I belonged. I have always lived in Petrea Thule and still count it as my home.
Interests
I enjoy archery and thrown weapons. I love water bearing for the fighting, especially at Gulf Wars and Pennsic. My love of crafts include sewing, embroidery, knitting, pattern making, ingle weaving, lucetting, kumihimo braiding, silk banners, chain mail, woodcuts,and printing. To a lesser degree I have done calligraphy, illumination, tablet weaving, wood working, fine art drawing and I have attempted glass bead making, leatherwork, pottery and casting. I very much enjoy reading and I am the M in M&M feasts. Baroness Matilda and I have done numerous feasts including Pikeman's Pleasure, Tournoi, QPT, Emprise and I had made numerous lunches for Late Winter Shoot and Pikeman's.
