One of the things I enjoy about the SCA are the number of people who readily share their knowledge, skill, etc, to help others. Sometimes, just by being skilled at what they do, they set an example we can aspire to in our skills. Here are a few of the people who have inspired me. This is not a complete list and just a few of the people. In future, I'll share more name of peopoe who provide inspiration:
Maddelena-our "Maddy" is a genius with wool and most fibres. I've seen her teach dyeing, knitting, felting, etc. She shares readily and teaches in a way that is easy to follow.
Isobel-Although in the SCA for a relatively short time, she has provided a great amount of knowledge on embroidery, colour combinations, design layout for cuffs and collars and more. I'm always amazed by the consistency of her stiching and the quality of her designs.
Karel (Tom)-he works with wood and is in the Shire of Silfen Mere. I have rarely seen such quality work done in wood plus the imaginative nature of his creations. One example are the garbage cans he made for the encampment. It looks like a butter churn. Practical but beautiful.
Ellen-one of the other "evil aunties" is a whiz with elizabethan garb. I'm tempted to learn how to make a corset simply by seeing how well she makes hers.
Find inspiration in the people around you. Share your info, have fun, please teach!
