Other Information:
My name is Elza, aka Masteritca Helga Vilhjalmskona. I have been in SCA since 2015 and in history reenactment since 2013. In 2019, I became an apprentice to Mistress Finnech inghean Labhrainn and joined House Golden Thistle. In April 2023, I was elevated to an Order of the Laurel, a Society-wide order awarded for excellence in the arts and sciences. Same year, I have started my own little household, Phoenix Safe Place, with three of my amazing travelers.

I got involved in art when I was a child. Embroidery, beadwork, and sawing were always the most significant part of it. I started my weaving travel in 2017 on the Pennsic Field cause I was bored. I started most of the stuff because I was bored.

I am my own worst critic, but I am always seeking solid feedback about my art or research. Mastery comes with practice, so I will get there. Enjoy this trip with me.
