Badge: (Fieldless) A closed book palewise erminois.
Motto: Semper discens (Always learning)


Interests

I was drawn to the SCA because it gave me an outlet for many of my interests, I stayed for the people I met and friendships I developed.

Heraldry
I'm primarily a book herald. I used to tell people that I was an armory herald only but I've also become a names herald over the last few years. I also have an interest in ceremonies and precedence.

Embroidery
I love embroidery of all kinds but I'm especially partial to counted work and, lately, I've been drawn to the various types German embroidery. I've worked with wool, cotton, and silk fibers with silk being my favorite.

Music I play the piano which is not a great instrument for the SCA since it's a bit hard to carry around. To that end, I'm learning to play the alto recorder and guitar. I hope to acquire a harp at some point and learn to play that as well.
