I was drawn to the SCA because it gave me an outlet for many ofmy 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 heraldonly but I've also become a names herald over the last few years. I also havean 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 of German embroidery. I've workedwith 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 bithard to carry around. To that end, I'm learning to play the alto recorder andguitar. I hope to acquire a harp at some point and learn to play that as well.
