The bad news, of course, is the few times I've needed to sign something, this isn't how I've spelled it. Oh, well, I can start learning this correct version for the future!

The Good News...
...is, I think I have finally identified how to spell my name in Arabic!

So You Want to Be a SCAdian Bedouin Woman?
I'll tell you now, it won't be easy. There is a dearth of information regarding the Bedu in period, and women in particular. Do you know how many period depictions there are of Bedouin women? Here, let me share the entire collection with you:
Rum A.S. 52
Thanks to being able to hitch a ride with Master Avery over the weekend, I was able to attend RUM. It was chillier than anyone would have liked, but I met some great people, reconnected with others, and attended a very interesting class on 10th c. women's dress in Baghdad. I also was able to test both my tent and our new propane heater (now named Franz) in cold weather. Both performed admirably. And as usual with teaching events, I've come back with some new ideas for projects, including spiffing up some of my early attempts at scrolls, plant-dyed scarves, and more kamis ideas.
