I STILL LIVE!!!
Hi folks ( Read more... ) -
Well,
Curtains are done & hanging at last. I can now start making SCA stuff again. I'll be embroidering a povoinik this week, i think. I'm also researching methods of making that modest little cap I keep thinking about. I bought a toy to make wire coils, which i'll do with 30gauge to make the sort of coils seen in 16th C embroideries ( Read more... ) -
Still a'living'
Yeah, I'm still here. Between house, mundane vacation, house, work, and house, I haven't made anything SCA related since my elevation ( Read more... ) -
Potential Projects
So.... I got this whole new motif to play with, you know? And I was kinda thinking that maybe I could pick up this (from a site that actually has it in stock) and then some of this stuff, and with some tin snips and wireworking, I could make something that would end up looking something like like this simple cap.
Or would that be a little much? -
whew.... pins pins and more pins
So.... Wide trim (like 2.25") does not like round necklines. So instead what I did was cut, fold in, tuck, and pin a bunch of PIECES of the trim, to form almost a starburst array around the neckline. Waffling about including couched cord too... that might be going too far or it might bring it all together. Hmmm. -
Said it before, sayin' it again.
I LOVE MY SERGER!!!!!!!
Really. Just serged off the trim so it can be applied. Then, I'd gone out and bought 4 spools of matching thread for my current project for Aleksei, and I was able to serge off all the raw ends on that.
