Do the right thing, not the easy thing

About Me

I live and work at the Afara Culture Center in WV. I am a blacksmith/dancer/teacher/musician/cook/artist. I do public relations, teach workshops, and coordinate events for the ACC. We make and sell our own jewelry, leatherwork, and other crafts. I make knives and metal art for House of Steel, and make products for a health and beauty company called Meadow Medicinal. I enjoy reenactments. I play a blacksmithing confederate boy named George for Civil war. I play a singing Hungarian gypsy for Renaissance Fairs. I also work as a merchant for a number of event in the SCA. I have 11 goats, 2 horses, chickens, 2 ducks, 2 geese, 2 cats, 2 dogs, a python and a wolf. I almost forgot the gold fish, Carp Edie Em!
