I do SCA A&S: within that, my areas of interest are medieval lighting, medieval scroll painting, gilding (illumination), caligraphy, blacksmithing, knife/weapon smithing, jewelry (mainly chains), casting, some carving, and a little wood carving…and maybe a little of this and that. I also enjoy many other non-SCA things, so I feel I need to include them in my blog. So, going forward, I will be posting things other than SCA “stuff” since, to be honest, I am burned out on the SCA and have yet to find something to really inspire me to jump back into it. For now, it is a major effort to do any type of craft.

I have always enjoyed gardening, flowers, trees, and anything that requires a green thumb. With that said, I have a love for Orchids that has been suppressed for many years, and am now finally getting into it with more frequency and enjoyment. You will see more pictures of my orchids and any tips and tricks I may have for growing them. I am also going to use this space to keep my notes on the various orchids I own, since each one has its own lighting, feeding, temperature/moisture, and planting media requirements, and I may need to alter the things I do to my plants to keep them happy and healthy.

I also love all things whiskey, so I will be posting more on that as well.

Enjoy!
