Interests

 * Obsessed with the history of decorated eggs from anywhere. (Not the symbols but the processes used to make them)


 * The beginnings of Ukrainian culture during the SCA period (Ukraine-centric research compared to Russia-centric research)


 * Music - English language music (celtic, period, folk tune collecting) & Byzantine music


 * Storytelling and the role of stories and songs within the culture of the SCA. (Yes - I collect filk)


 * Slavic and Eastern European Pottery... but it's been skewing towards Islamic recently.


 * Making Kilns and Ovens


 * While not a direct interest, I have a wealth of information on Ukrainian period clothing I've been collecting for the last 5 years, I'm slowly making it available to others as it's translated... but with all my other interests becoming a garb maven is doubtful.
