I am in the process of preparing my blackwork embroidery for my first time entering a Tournament of Arts. I have participated in numerous A&S (arts and sciences) displays, as well as Craftspersons Greens and A&S competitions. However, this is my first TOA.

More than likely, I will be posting this video after TOA. I am mainly using this video as a way to go through my stuff and brush up on things, as well as monitoring my speaking (making sure that I don't babble too much, but still get the necessary information out there).

For anyone curious about what exactly the 'SCA' is -- The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the medieval and Renaissance years of 600-1600AD.
