We sell medieval jewelry and other adornments (like coifs and arming caps) to the SCA community in and around An Tir. I started making jewelry one Christmas, when I thought it would be a fun and inexpensive thing to make for gifts. So I ended up with a bunch of jewelry and wanting to make more, but you can only wear so much. Enter the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). SCA is a medieval recre
ation group where a bunch of geeks get together and pretend it's the Middle Ages. You can do anything you want in the SCA - be a knight in shining armor, learn to do arts or cooking in the way it was done back then, or just party in funny clothes. A friend who played in the SCA told me they have merchants who sell their wares, so I checked it out. Seven years later, I have a full-on jewelry and adornment booth (you can see a picture of it on my page) and I'm hooked. It's a blast! I learn new techniques and come up with new things to make all the time. Stay tuned for what I - and The Cat and Candle - might get up to next!
