You will most likely know me by my cooking, and probably not by face! I tend to spend most SCA events in the kitchen, either running, or helping. In fact, I think I've now done more SCA feasts than anyone I know. For cooking, I've posted to Suth guild at http://suthgh.blogspot.com/, and our cooks guild had spent about a year redacting the Forme of Cury. I can't recall if I've posted the recipes on the net, but I've certainly done a lot of them!

For some of my older embroideries, check out the web page Gwynfor had created - http://www.gwynfor.org/G/Gwir/Gwir.htm. Some of which I'd completely forgotten I'd done (I tend to use them for gifts, fighter auction, etc and rarely do I keep a photo).

Attached is the most recent I've done - an interpretation of the 'Badge of the Order of the Dragon' (circa 1414). I was more interested in the or nue, rather than in the padding, and my interpretation is quite different from the original. I wanted to play with the shading possibilities, and 'lively couching' techniques (refer, Medieval Craftsmen, p. 29 - leopards). The piece will go on Peregrin's cloak, which already boasts the sun and moon from the John of Thanet panel (circa 1300). Although the John of Thanet panel and the Badge are a hundred years apart, the individual design pieces are harmonious and, being conducted with the same techniques, are quite effective together. I'll join the pieces in with a 14th century overall design (yet to be worked out!). It'll take some time to put the Badge on the back of his cloak. The Badge took me about 2 years (on and off) to work, and the best compliment I've gotten is from Peregrin -he said it felt like real dragon scales.

As the images are quite big, I'll post them separately.
