Another repeat spot from the great dress of unfinishedness, again based on an anglo saxon metal mount. The split stitching looks really rough now I’m used to filament silk (this was 2 ply) if I ever get round to finishing this I will use filament for the rest, but I’ll keep this
This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

Worth keeping, certainly, And good to use as a comparison with filament-stitched pieces, too!
he’s quite cute – I’d really like to do the rest of the set, I has a selction of about seven or eight small round designs I wanted to use
