Today's post is about a friend of mine, Jes, who goes by Asny in the SCA. This past weekend she received an award called Bridget's Flame. It is for individuals who have shown, over time, that they are enthusiastic about their craft, that they share their craft and continue to research and strive for mastery. Asny demonstrates this in spades. I have yet to see her at an event when she is not sharing information whether it is someone who is admiring her garb or if she notices someone working on something and provides encouragement.
She shares her information with anyone who wants it and on a selfish note for me, is currently leading up a project to make me a set of Elizabethan garb. She started the project with Isobel (Debbie) and has gathered a small army of helpers. I am constantly impressed and amazed when people like Asny demonstrate chivalric qualities that we all strive for but rarely achieve. I encourage you to seek her out at an event and learn from her and I can assure you, she'll be wanting to learn your craft as well.
