Dear friends,
I am greatly enjoying the SCA, while also struggling with physical limitations and PTSD related to significant health challenges. If I am going to be called upon in court, any amount of heads-up is greatly appreciated so that I can prepare appropriately.
Additionally, I love sharing resources and techniques related to my craft, and am happy to help if anyone needs my assistance. The best ways to contact me are by Facebook messenger or by text- 608-214-2888.
Warm thanks.
-Goda
⚔️♥️⚔️
Hildegard von Ulm.
”Goda” for short. This was a god-derivative pet name, appropriate as I was named after St. Hildegard von Bingen.
1470’s- 1530’s,
Born in Ulm.
Duchy of Swabia, Holy Roman Empire.
Regions of interest: German regions (specifically Swabia) and Low Countries.
Heraldry: Still mulling this over! I enjoy images of red hearts, doves, swans, white rabbits, botanicals, archery, and swords. My colors will likely be red and cream.
Persona:
Literate in the vulgar tongue (German) , some Latin.
Humanist, private backer of Thomas Müntzer and the peasants revolts.
From a family of allied craftspeople who capitalized on the development of the printing press, and began manufacturing books with distribution throughout the Swabian League trade routes, and into the Low Countries.
Parents and grandparents benefited from stable regional trade, which is now destabilized due to the rise of Protestantism, causing friction within the family and the greater community.
Traveled through trade routes to and from the Low Countries as a young adult.
Moderate wealth.
Lover of art and beauty.
Skills and interests:
Sewing and garment construction.
Lace, embroidery, and other handiwork.
Oil painting, including recreating historic recipes for mediums.
Woodcarving.
Humoral theory, botanical and folk/ritual medicine.
Culinary explorations.
Bookworks and decorative page arts.
Harp and song.
Keeper of holiday traditions.
Merrymaking.
Completed Projects:
-Wulsthaube and Schleier, various coifs and wraps. (German headwear)
-chemise (used too thick of linen, will try again)
-cream wool underrock, supportive German under dress. (Fit was ok, but I reworked it to fit better. Wool was heavier than I would use again).
-knitted and felted German cap, c. 1530s. One red, one grey, one green. (The red and grey turned out well).
-16th century jointed wooden doll. Made from wood, chalk, hide glue, two nails, linen, oil paint, and human hair. No modern tools used. My most successful project to date. (A&S Faire, 2024 submission)
-Recreation of Hildegard’s cookies of joy, interpreted within historic context- disregarding modern interpretations, and in the context of humoral medicine. (A&S 2023)
-carved intaglio ring. (A&S 2023, Baron’s Choice)
-1470’s fur trimmed Turnshoes, to go with my “masters of the housebook” ensemble. (A&S 2023)
-1470’s red linen housebook dress with fur trim and gold cordage. New skill: roll pleats.
-Viking garb for Haustblot: dyed several items with black walnut, reworked some used garb. Made a gold cotton underdress (as an inexpensive alternative to linen).
-Viking jewelry: assembled several items, for myself and to give away, using rock crystal and glass beads, as well as bone and amber. Used a Gotland ball (purchased) to make a recreation necklace of a Gotland find.
-cleaned up a cast iron cauldron for use in cooking over a fire, and now make various portages at events.
-16th c rock crystal knotted paternoster.
- various small bags, jewelry, and accessories.
-Blue velveteen 16th c. wrap dress- made to accommodate that I am an IBS-girly and cannot always wear supportive/fitted bodices. Very comfy! No sleeves so they can be interchanged, Low Countries style.
-various sleeves!! Blue velveteen fancier sleeves, and simple pin-on linen sleeves for more humble settings.
-Brown partlet. Not a huge success. Will try again.
-Low Countries apron (unpleated, corners detached).
-16th c decorative box- chip carved on a modern/prefabricated box. Made for visual similarity to extant examples- next try will be from a hand made box.
In-Progress Projects:
-1530’s raspberry wool overdress with black velveteen guards. Needs fit adjustments.
-red “blackwork” embroidery for a chemise collar.
-Lengberg Castle Skirted Bra in linen.
-Alba Amicorum/Friendship Book. 2 versions- paper filled and vellum (Perg), to be bound in silk velvet.
In the drafting/planning process:
-Knitted sleeves, from the Tudor Tailor, but useable for various 16th c. looks.
-smocked apron
-re-try making body linens with lighter fabric.
-16th c. men’s sailor ensemble.
-Doublet in wool and linen, for my buddy Albert.
