2020
This site is primarily devoted to our time in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and a few other interests and has not been updated since we retired from the Society some years ago. We still feel that some of the content will be of interest and will keep this in place as an archive.
Since 2011, both of us have been involved in creating polymer clay jewelry and sculpture and plan to have websites where we will feature our art and jewelry.
