Sca Socks
Description: Heraldry, entomology, and general nerdery collide in Valorous Beasties, a series of designs inspired by coats of arms, distinctive unit insignia, and BUGS. Periodic cicadas are known for their long periods of domancy--between 13 and 17 years--a trick that is thought to thwart would-be predators by either starving them out or overwhelming them with sheer numbers when the cicadas emerge. This crest bears the motto "tempore quaeque suo qui facit; ille sapit" or "the wise person is the one who does everything in its proper time," attributed to Ovid.
Description: The original "reach out and touch somebody" inspired by Capo Ferro, the master of 16th-17th century Italian rapier. Perfect gift for HEMA and SCA practitioners, historical reenactors, and history buffs. This design proudly makes the point with all of the concepts summarized in one sentence with a rather graphic picture to follow.
