Project: The making of Tórfa.As my time as Anastasia del Valente; Baroness of Mordenvale, came to a close, it just seemed right to make a fresh start.
It was a new SCA chapter for me that felt the need for a new persona. What I had achieved as Anastasia (or Tasia to close companions), I was immensely proud of. However, it was now a period of change and reflection. I had been a late period Venetian courtesan, and so I chose something so far from that persona to recreate and research, study, and explore. This blog is that journey of discovering Tórfa, who she is, how she lived, ate, dressed and those around her. This is about her creation and my journey in becoming her. |
