I study and recreate clothing, food, and culture of Cairo in 1066. Specifically, I research the Fatimid Islamic period in Egypt from 969-1171. I also practice feltmaking, cooking from a variety of SCA periods and jewelry making as well.
I am using the honorific "Sitt" as an alternate to Baroness. In the middle ages in culturally Islamic lands, women of rank were not called by their first names except by family. Instead they were called by their title and moniker.
When I served as the Territorial Baroness of Nordskogen, a great and life-changing honor, I took on a new moniker and would sign my correspondences with "Sitt al-Thullaja", or "Great Lady of the Snowflakes".
In stepping out of that role, I have taken on the moniker "Sitt al-Lulu", or "Great lady of the Pearls".

I love the illumination of 14th century-- bats, creepy-crawlies, marginalia-of-questionable-taste, cryptids with animal/bug bodies and human faces wearing hoods. All the nonsense. :)
