Drífa at lækjarmóti

AKA Drífa at lækjamoti (No 'R')

Persona

My main persona (Drífa) is 11th Century west Icelandic. The second name "at lækjamoti" means "where the waters meet". I've fashioned this persona as a landowner/rancher and I've enjoyed trying some of the artistic skills she might have had like spinning, weaving, dyeing, carving, casting, wire work, nälbinding, etc.

Interests

Costuming, Millinery (hats), Documentation (blogging).
