I am currently looking for the right yellow wool. I am also stocking up on rabbit pelts. To both make a large rabbit blanket with all the hides sewn together and also to trim a cloak with. And I think I will attempt Catherine Wheels on the cloak. My arms have three in black. This should be fun AND useful. :-)<br /><br />HimiltrudeUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-47408979074104154792009-05-01T13:40:00.004+02:002009-05-01T17:59:59.588+02:00project part 3<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXqOpf57AzGoseK7TjakjHcEgsxtBycSA2ka8Yj0qoUY0LFjxdvA1eVO1gmwusVX73JFgOMuinqSnk0OpQ0RTkkGm6njZdx-y0Ic3jhrVy23S5vZn0c1jYIWJ5k1kJJnUcRlTKVaXvyk/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330819409261402402" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 240px; height: 320px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXqOpf57AzGoseK7TjakjHcEgsxtBycSA2ka8Yj0qoUY0LFjxdvA1eVO1gmwusVX73JFgOMuinqSnk0OpQ0RTkkGm6njZdx-y0Ic3jhrVy23S5vZn0c1jYIWJ5k1kJJnUcRlTKVaXvyk/s320/030.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT7M7Mc5ytAN51Xr60ytSIiZod5JbTAmQDILNWio81Lb6G5poz5R_pSczfoi5B_APP9Eg14m1ErcRZxInN-WN4TwIDWDDDzfYbgscwb50tmZWHNAFBy4DO209agxjhL9Efy2Vnoo3_nM/s1600-h/029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330819408344819602" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 320px; height: 240px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT7M7Mc5ytAN51Xr60ytSIiZod5JbTAmQDILNWio81Lb6G5poz5R_pSczfoi5B_APP9Eg14m1ErcRZxInN-WN4TwIDWDDDzfYbgscwb50tmZWHNAFBy4DO209agxjhL9Efy2Vnoo3_nM/s320/029.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here's the linen for the side panels of the dress in a Sappan wood dye bath.

Here is part one (no embroidery on this part...embroidery pictures are coming next). The total outfit will include these pants, hose, garters, dress, coat, head coverings, and shoes. The dress, garters, head covering, and coat will all be embroidered. It turns out I didn'thave as much material as I thought, so I'm mordanting some linen right now to dye with sappan wood, which will hopefully work out as planned! this will give me a pumpkin orange raw silk (madder dyed) and red (hopefully) dress. Both dyes are appropriate to time and place. With the embroidery, I'm dyeing most of the thread myself, and all of it is hand dyed. I'm not worrying too much about matching all the dyes to the time period, though.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05170649816152357795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-80887677917097745502009-02-28T00:43:00.003+01:002009-02-28T01:01:50.165+01:00new progress :)<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/racaire/3314379169/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3314379169_e746440fd5_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/racaire/3314379169/">DSC06462</a><br />Ursprünglich hochgeladen von <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/racaire/">racaire</a></span></div> ...and some new progress concerning my first "Something to keep you warm" project - my 12th century dress with gathered body part - hopefully the embroidery will be finished soon :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-59087978596125580312009-02-17T22:22:00.002+01:002009-02-17T22:25:15.519+01:00Officially done!Well I've finished the second cloak, pictures of the two together to come later! I can't believe the feeling of relief of having them both completed. My resolution for the year was to not start any new projects until at least one in process item was done. So now I can start thinking about a second Keep you Warm II project and get it in the queue. I need to get through a few more queued items before I can start another project for this challenge, but I can at least consider inspirations!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing other completed challenge items!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JahanaraJahanarabanuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05619162782839033396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-33341409812160574952009-02-15T21:54:00.002+01:002009-02-15T21:58:27.221+01:00One finished Cloak!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBndX8HV8HbPD5T_6K_0gaD5w91ShbIuxbeodaTfQTXCldHvQjDIKueLdHR-cdxtFZwReU1EsOUv5srHIyXI0SYAwAVXoyrBSuLc8DS3zx_GgYbM95q9bxpOrKxL-kEcojLEJ6N4IwyvU/s1600-h/IDCloakfini.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBndX8HV8HbPD5T_6K_0gaD5w91ShbIuxbeodaTfQTXCldHvQjDIKueLdHR-cdxtFZwReU1EsOUv5srHIyXI0SYAwAVXoyrBSuLc8DS3zx_GgYbM95q9bxpOrKxL-kEcojLEJ6N4IwyvU/s400/IDCloakfini.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303130661556307922" border="0" /></a>I'm so excited, I have one completely finished ID Cloak!

Then sew the lining to the wool finally hand finish the edges and voila I'm totally done!<br />I'll be presenting them to TE Clancy and Ursula this weekend at Viceroy Tourney. I'll do my best to get a picture of them both together.

I've been working on the ID Cloaks almost to the exclusion of everything else. I've actually got all the applique work done on one cloak. I still need to embroider the stem in on that one. I have the leaves pinned on the second cloak and hope to have the applique done on that tomorrow night. Then it's just a matter of the stems, lining and hemming! It feels nice to essential be down to just three more steps to go on one and four to go on the other!Jahanarabanuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05619162782839033396noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-75038049885415913732009-01-16T18:47:00.005+01:002009-01-16T21:33:59.980+01:00IntroductionHello, I am Baroness Siubhan inghean Fhearghuis in the Shire of Flintheath in Insulae Draconis. I currently have a 3 month old daughter who takes much of my time so I won't be starting anything ambitious for this challenge. I will however, try to finish the project I was working on for the first challenge.<br /><a href="http://keep-you-warm.blogspot.com/2008/12/cloak-progress.html">http://keep-you-warm.blogspot.com/2008/12/cloak-progress.html</a><br />I have a long way to go on it, but I do hope I can finish it within the time frame of this challenge.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03395433946383596838noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-56419007987983691162009-01-16T18:45:00.002+01:002009-01-16T21:33:32.432+01:00...new pearls ordered :)...maybe some of you remember that I ran out of the 3,0 - 3,5 mm white pearls at the back of the neck embroidery - while working at the new embroidery I got more and more upset with the big and irregular pearls at the back - therefore I ordered some new pearls :)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >...old pictures (june 2008):</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5uqeU_AhV7w/SGFeDQDFbHI/AAAAAAAABDc/g0SUjLdoQQ0/s1600-h/PICT0023.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 146px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5uqeU_AhV7w/SGFeDQDFbHI/AAAAAAAABDc/g0SUjLdoQQ0/s320/PICT0023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215553253412269170" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5uqeU_AhV7w/SGFeDuI0XEI/AAAAAAAABDk/m1tzQ050dis/s1600-h/PICT0026.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 195px; height: 146px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5uqeU_AhV7w/SGFeDuI0XEI/AAAAAAAABDk/m1tzQ050dis/s320/PICT0026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215553261489380418" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I am very looking forward to replace them because I think, after all this time and work it took me to get such a nice looking embroidery (and to make this dress), the big and irregular pearls just don't look right...

Everything I don't dye myself, I get from here. The shipping is very cheap...I paid $5 (about 3 euro) for 10 skeins, and it got here inside of a week, all the way from the States.Anyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05170649816152357795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900285526981460993.post-37666582400757877402009-01-10T09:40:00.002+01:002009-01-10T09:48:52.154+01:00My projectsYes I mean projects plural. I will be finishing my previous challenge item, the ID wool cloaks. I have also asked Lady Trinite to teach Flintheathshire to make gloves. I have long admired beautifully embroidered gloves. <br />As I have a Persian persona, I have seen many beautiful manuscripts that show noblewomen wearing extensively embroidered gloves. So I will be creating a second personal challenge to learn how to make gloves and embroider a pair for myself. While I finish my previous project I plan to design the second project. <br /><br />The ID Cloaks are cut out and I have the applique ready. I was hoping to hand applique them, however the linen that I have will not stand up if I hand applique them, so I will have to do it by machine, which is very disappointing. I will however be creating kumihimo cord and hand stitching that on, probably using undersiechoucing, to apply that cord. I will be learning underside couching from Lady Trinite as well, so that will be my 25% new stitch. I have never attempted laurel wreaths either, so that will be the 25% of the design that is new to me.<br /><br />I can't wait to start seeing all your wonderful projects!<br /><br />Namaste,<br />JahanaraJahanarabanuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05619162782839033396noreply@blogger.com0
