I currently am working as a webmaster. I enjoy sewing clothing for the five of us. My main interest is in sewing tips, creating patterns, and costuming in general.

H-costume archives are now available from http://www.io.com/~ches/h-costume/ and more recent ones are avaliable at http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~fashion/archives/ and http://mail.indra.com/pipermail/h-costume/
They are currently on my site until such a time that they can be housed else where or the owner of the archives asks me to remove them. These are the zip archives from 93, 94, 95 and 96. Once you unzip them you have to add .txt to the ends of each and format them to the way you want the to look.

Here are a few others:

Iain DubhSpirag wwill@siu.edu has created an anonymous FTP directory for armory articles and patterns. He does have access to a scanner so those who have patterns they would like see on the web but have no scanner capability can snail mail the patterns to the following address and he will scan and upload them:
Iain DubhSpirag
519 North Ninth Street
Murphysboro, IL 62966

The FTP is ftp://131.230.64.6 and the armory upload directory is /armour. Hopefully this will become a benefit to armorers throughout the knowne worlde.

Write to me, follow this link to my guest book. If you want more information about the S.C.A., costuming, or illuminations I will send you more info.

Ansteorra is my favorite S.C.A. Kingdom! It is in the Texas - Oklahoma area. We recently passed new rules for a different form of Combat http://www.bga.com/~otto/handbook/ .
I live in the Barony of the Steppes which is in Dallas, Texas. Check us out and tell us what you think!

My main interest in Physics is Gravitational Waves. Watch for an article I wrote later. My main interest in computers is Vrml. Expect to see a Castle some day.

Visit the Trayned Bandes home page. This is a page about an HI that specializes in Elizabethan England. They even know how to make boots! This organization is probably the most accurate when interpreting their time period.
