Award & Office Badges

Introduction

Farewell, of hearts that heart most fine,
Farewell, dear heart, heartly to thee,
And keep this heart of mine for thine
As heart for heart, for loving me.

(Canterbury, Canterbury Cathedral Library CCA-DCc-ChCh Letterbook II, 174)

Persona

Valentine Ambrose is as fluid as my inspiration to make new garb; he adapts to suit my current fabric stash or crunch time available for an event! This name was selected for flexibility through time and place as the child of frequently pious parents; saints' names never go totally out of fashion. I enjoy presenting as various genders, locations, time periods, and class.
