A borrowed Venetian made by the fabulous Seraphina Basso. Yes, I'm laughing as this was taken.

Laurel for Annys of Pengwyrn - Annys_Laurel.jpg

Based on the Stephen Lochner prayer book, c. 1451, sadly my scanner bed was much too small for the overall image, so it did get cropped somwaht

Pelican - Vilhelm_med.jpg

Order of the Pelican scroll for Vilhelm Silverhammer. Based on the Hours of Catherine of Cleves, c. 1430ish. Darn thing was a little too big for my scanner bed, and the scanner did something strange to the colors, washing them out a bit.

Award of Arms - CIMG2940.jpg

Based on a combination of persian manuscripts and ancient mosaics, awarded to Ashlyn on 11/8/08. The gold is much more sparkly and pretty in person. Pseudo-Arabic script. Windsor & Newton gouache, Holbein brilliant gold gouache, Higgins black ink, Brause nibs, and bristol vellum finish paper.

Norman Tunic

Norman Tunic - 0000825f.jpg

Green linen tunic with front, back, and side gores was sewn largely by hand. Chain stitch embroidery along the arm bands and neckline were added because it needed an extra "something." Sewn in honor of our Norman King, Ralph. Looks rediculous without the proper undershirt. Working on hand-calligraphed invitations to Coronation cut into my sewing time, so the undershirt did not get done.

Handfasting

Handfasting - CIMG0704.jpg

Green Elizabethan. This is the best full-length view of the green velvet elizabethan. You can't see the beading on the forepart or sleeves at all, but the fullness of the cartridge pleated skirt shows quite nicely. Grifon's outfit was made by Lady Johanne.

Solstice Court 2005 - CIMG1163a.jpg

Decent detail picture of the Navy blue velvet elizabethan. Gold silk puffs fill the shoulder treatment, which are lined by hand-stitched glass pearls. The linen smock is embroidered with black silk in a pattern found on an extant Italian sampler, IIRC. Brocade sleeves are lined in gold silk and beaded with glass pearls and swarovski crystals. The faceted crystals are probably not remotely period, but I wanted something with a nice sparkle to fill the pearl flowers.

Navy Blue Velvet Gown - DSC01832b.jpg

Navy blue cotton velvet with blue and gold brocade. Belt made by Lady Aine. Bodice is rounded at the top to emulate French styles of the period.

Bodice Front - mini-CIMG2988.jpg

This is the bodice, cotton velvet flatlined in trigger, with trim applied. German trim with navy blue velvet ribbon interlaced and couched gold cord. I'm hoping that it doesn't appear this wobbly anymore, now that everything is fully lined and boned.

I just love the way these beads seem to glow when light hits them. They are made by a company called Halcraft, and they are in their Regal Beading Guild line. 4mm amber glass.

Complete Bodice - mini-CIMG2997.jpg

Bodice lining is Black canvas linen flatlined with canvas trigger. Spring steel boning is also in there, and it's all hand bound with commercial bias tape (ick, but I was on a schedule and short of fabric to make my own bias tape). The tabs are square and lined in gold silk dupioni. The camera flash makes the fabric seem more "emerald" in color than it really is. The eyelets were punched and bound by hand using an awl and upholstery thread.

High necked smock - mini-CIMG3001.jpg

Linen high necked smock, with a gorgeous trim on the collar and cuffs. With a tight deadline and loose uneaven weaved linen, blackwork was going to prove to be a pain. I opted to use this trim which I feel looks like couched cording.

Brocade flatlined in trigger and beaded as the sleeves are. A strip of the silk used to line the sleeves and tabs was used in a stripe near the ground, and trim from the bodice to hide the seams.
