Welcome

Welcome to the Commonplace Book of Leonor Ruiz de Lisón, a sixteenth century Spanish lady in the Society for Creative Anachronism’s Kingdom of the Outlands. My primary areas of research within the SCA are 16th century Spain and England and the 13th-14th century Mongol Empire (yes, my interests are broad). I am primarily interested in textile and book arts and Middle Mongolian onomastics, but I try to dabble in a little bit of everything. To the right you can view my project gallery or read articles or tutorials on various aspects of my research (eventually).

The Tailor’s Eye on Etsy sometims sells unique handmade jewelry and other accessories designed for historical reenactors, with a primary focus on 16th century Europe.

In real life, I am a museum professional and freelance writer. I’ve also written for Your Wardrobe Unlock’d, an online magazine for historical costumers which I highly recommend (the following banner is an affiliate link):
