Introduction
Amie Sparrow joined the SCA in 2003 in the Kingdom of Atlantia. She thought she was going to become a great scribe and created a great many scrolls in her early years but was eventually tempted to turn to costuming. She spends most of her time sewing historically accurate garb and teaching on a variety of costume-related subjects. She has served as Baroninal newsletter editor and Deputy of A&S. She shoots recurve bow and crossbow.

Tidbits About Amie Sparrow
- I do not have a Persona. I like too many different cultures and time periods!
- My registered name is Portuguese.
- I have been known to wear German Peasant and German Landsknecht garb. Who doesn't love Big Hats? Who doesn't love codpieces when dressed in men's garb?
- I have been known to wear Turkish Ottoman in the summer. Who doesn't love shooting their Crossbow in pants?
- I started Scribal and Illuminations doing more macabre scrolls, thinking maybe some might like something a little more hardcore. My first scroll was based on a "Mouth of Hell" from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves.
- I am currently focusing on learning silverpoint (metalpoint) and pen & ink techniques so that not only is the image documentable but the execution is as well
