TASSELS A tassel is a tuft of loosely hanging threads, cords, or other material knotted at one end and attached for decoration to clothing, home furnishings, or other items. Tassels can be found going back thousands of years and have been made as embellishments, ornaments, and decorations as a symbol of status, luxury, or luck. They are a universal adornment that found their way onto garments, blankets, rugs, carriages, chandeliers, canopies, draperies and pillows, in various cultures from all over the world!
Come, dive into the world of tassels and learn a few simple ways to make them!

PERSONA DEVELOPMENT In the SCA we choose a persona, which we portray to a greater or lesser degree. How do you choose a persona in the first place? If you already have one picked, what are some ways to develop that persona into a more three dimensional impression of a historical person? Once you have a persona, what are some ways to incorporate persona play into the SCA?
