My Household brother assigned his household a bit of homework, and, I think it could work well for other applications, too. I'm shameless, and have copied his bit of text because A, I'm lazy, and B, because he's a lot better with words than I.

------------------------


Many people know that gift giving for Kings & Queens, Princes & Princesses, and sometimes Barons & Baronesses is often made easy by sharing Their likes and dislikes, Their wishes and whims.

Well, your assignment is to pretend you're in a role where people may be serving you food, or presenting you with a personal gift, or making largesse for you to distribute, or where you get to set the tone of an event.

What are your likes and dislikes? What is your persona and what are your heraldic colors? What garb styles do you like or dislike? What kinds of things do you like as tokens? What things do you want to see more or less of at events?

This is your chance to pretend you've got the power and can share your wishes and whims with the world.

Persona
Just one: 6th century Constantinople Byzantine. Heraldic colours are in the process of being decided, but I'm heading towards blue and silver.

Clothing

I'm working on piecing together a complete outfit, which can be found at the following link. http://zephyrofgod.deviantart.com/art/Constantia-33410849 I prefer cottons, linens, non-slubby silks, and other natural fibres, in blues, reds, dark browns, and sage green. Talk to me about sizes or helping me sew, if you're interested in helping me out here.

Tokens

Handmade soaps (and yes, I want to learn and help!)
Glass beads (again, learn and help)
Gryphons or lionesses in any form (Ask me after I've gotten my heraldry done)
Candles/incense

Arts and Crafts
(I'm a very crafty girl. The kind you don't take home to mother.)
Likes: beads (especially handmade lampworked ones and Swarovski!); jewellery (just beading, though); spinning; knitting; drawing; painting; photography; kumihimo; singing and other general music making;
calligraphy; illumination (preprints, though), SCA dancing (and the occasional salsa or Jitterbug)

Dislikes

plastic beads, or otherwise cheaply made supplies; sewing (make garb, please?); embroidery (I can do it, but it drives me nuts)

Wishes and Whims
Please, if you must smoke, do it away from me. I'm allergic to it, and am trying to get the SO to stop doing it.

Don't be alarmed if I ask to remain standing. My hips and knees are bad. By that token, if I need to sit down, getting up from the floor can be difficult. Chairs are my friend.

I love to learn, and will ask a ton of questions, or else I will quietly observe. If I shut up, even for a second, don't worry. It wasn't anything you said.
