I have been crafting. I have been busy working for the State. Work 8 hours come home..housework, kids, chores and then fall asleep to do it all again. </p><p>We survived COVID. It did hit our house but thankfully we didn't have it too badly. We are all vaccinated and it seem things are starting to return to normal. Oldest son graduated. Youngest son is a junior in high school and is on the honor roll. And have they grown! Both taller than me.</p><p>In my time i have continually crafted. Lots of knitting, mostly socks, a shawl, fingerless mits. I decided to find all the unfinished projects that I have started over the years and punch them out. Im starting to make a dent. When they're finished (cross stitches mostly) i photograph them and tuck them in a container until i get around to framing them. </p><p>Im currently doing two black work stitch-a-longs through groups on facebook. And one seasonal cross stitch. They keep me busy for short spurts when each part of the pattern is released either weekly or monthly. </p><p>We started finishing the basement a year or so ago and have been putting up drywall to make the open basement now four rooms. One is my craft room which my hubby says is bigger than our bedroom, though I am finding that hard to believe. During COVID we put up a fence around our property to keep the three corgis happy and give them a place to run around outside. So what do they do, run out, do their business and beg to come back in. **headesk**</p><p>I promise to keep up with this more now that life seems to be leveling out. Ill gather photos of what Ive done over the last year or so and post. Ill also get together the future projects that I want to work on.</p><p><br /></p>Cateline la broderessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01762107541205636760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509732651345771613.post-38831829592417278442020-01-22T12:01:00.004-05:002020-01-22T12:01:50.016-05:00"I'm Not Dead!"It has been some time since I have written about my projects. Admittedly, I have been posting more on my SCA Facebook page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.guyton">https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.guyton</a>), but since not everyone is a facebook fan, I will update here. (Long post incoming with lots of pics) <br />
<br />
In no particular order...<br />
<br />
ALL THE SOCKS!!! I am always knitting socks. Its my favorite thing to knit. Here are some images of the ones I have completed. I think there were some I didn't photograph.<br />

I did knit several other pairs as Christmas gifts for family members, but those I did not photograph sadly. I should have.<br />
<br />
Next... A friend was elevated to the Order of the Pelican back in November. I was asked to make her a Pelican themed Byzantine collar. I used silk and linen fabric, silk embroidery threads and many, many fresh water pearls.<br />

I made and donated a small blank journal with an embroidered cover to a silent auction. I was very pleased with how it turned out and fetched a good price from the buyer. I used silk ground fabric and threads to embroider. Gold palions were used as well for embellishment. The flower came from a period binding that is housed in the British Library. <br />

Two friends, who are the baron's for their local SCA group, asked if I would make them hoods with their arms and the barony's arms on them. These are constructed of wool and linen. The arms were embroidered in silk and hand stitched on. They are modeled by my two sons as I had to mail these off to the recipient.<br />

The date is eluding me, it was earlier in summer that I was asked if I could embroider two napkins for a gift basket that was being given to a set of visiting royals. I embroidered with cotton threads for durability onto cotton napkins.<br />

I bottled another batch of limoncello. I always have a batch steeping away. My last batch I made some orangcello. I was sad it did not have the brighter orange color that the peels were but it was tasty. (hubby started sampling a bottle before I was able to take the pictures)<br />

Another friend was elevated to the Order of the Laurel. She requested that friends embroider a leaf to be appliqued onto her elevation cloak. The leaf i embroidered is below executed in silk threads onto a wool leaf provided by the recipient.<br />

Lastly, was a modern geeky cross stitch. I have been cross stitching since I was 7 years old. A friend had this pattern and let me copy it so I could make this myself. I love it. I am planning on framing it and hanging it in my "She Shelter" (the basement is my crafting area that hubby appropriately named). Love me some Doctor Who!<br />

I will make a concerted effort to update this blog more often. It didn't help I was injured by faulty equipment at my job in June that had me on disability for three months (and then they "eliminated my position" and am now job hunting). Thank you to everyone that reads my blog and gives me encouragement and inspiration.<br />
<br />
Ciao!<br />

Bueller?I realized I haven't posted since November and St Eligius. Life was busy with the holidays and the new job and such. Life is good. I am content. I have been posting when I art more on Facebook but i need to get back to posting here. If you want to see anything, here is my facebook profile. It is public so you don't necessarily need to send a friend request..<br />

Very surprising to me I was elevated in March and inducted into the Order of the Pelican. My closest friends and family kept the secret well hidden for apparently six months and so many people contributed to my day. I felt and still do feel very loved and very humbled.<br />
<br />
This year marks the ten year anniversary of when I started this blog to document my arts and science pursuits in the SCA. A lot has happened in ten years. I can see the progression of my skills and art as I skim through past entries. I have managed to finish up all the owed projects and have been concentrating on things for myself and my family. Right now Im knitting socks. I have a metric butt ton of yarn and can probably knit for decades before I'd use it all. I am also working on a redwork assissi embroidered towel. My last entry was about it.<br />
<br />
Anyway...these socks wont knit themselves. Back to watching Tron with hubby as he revels in his new sub woofer he was gifted from us for his birthday yesterday. My whole house is shaking, LOL!<br />

I entered an Italian Assisi redwork embroidered hand towel or "napkin" as they called them. It was from the 1500s. It is a work in progress because as a friend is fond of saying, "Embroidery always takes twice as long as you estimate it will" and she is correct! <br />

<span id="goog_1791312853">I was very nervous about entering because of a past bad experience in a competition, but I bit the proverbial bullet and threw my hat into the ring. Here are pictures i took and I will copy and paste my documentation in for further reading.</span><br />

</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
am currently working on an Italian embroidered hand towel inspired by
an extant piece in the Victoria and Albert museum.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What is
the connection between your entry and a medieval item or practice? </b></i></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
am creating an Italian persona for myself and want to have feast
linens for myself.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>How would
your entry have been made/done in period?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
detail work on the towel/napkin that inspired me was actually a
separate piece that was woven and then stitched onto the linen towel,
then the hem was created and trimmed with red stitching. However
there are other extant pieces that show the linen being directly
embroidered on. </span>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>How was
yours made/done?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
am embroidering directly onto white linen with a counted stitch
pattern using Splendor Twisted Silk 12 strand embroidery thread, two
strands, color number 0822.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What are
some similarities and differences in materials, process, tools,
approach?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
silk that would have been used on the piece at the museum would have
been stranded silk. I am using twisted silk thread for durability,
also it was what I had in my stash already.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What
inspired you?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Two
pieces from history inspired me. The pattern came from a “cover”
that is at the Victoria & Albert Museum. I found a pattern
already charted very similar to this one in the New Carolingian
Modelbook and am using that. The other piece that inspired me is the
towel also at the V&A with a woven band of embellishment.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What was
your favorite part of preparing your entry?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
love to embroider. I have always been a lover of counted work (except
when I miscount and have to pick out stitches). Blackwork is one of
my favorite embroidery styles to execute as well. So with creating an
Italian persona having a feast gear linen set made for my persona was
an appealing idea.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What
would you do differently next time?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
would invest in stranded silk to execute the embroidery to make it
more accurate to the original pieces. </span>

<span style="font-size: small;">The
V&A has a large collection of embroideries and this is where I
found wonderful images of redwork. </span>

your entry?</b></i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
have always loved embroidering. My mother taught me when I was a
small child and have progressed through the years from cross stitch
to free embroidery and after I found the SCA 26 years ago, now
researching techniques done through out history and doing my best to
recreate them as accurately as possible. Recreating the embroidery
from pieces in history gives me an idea of what it was like all those
years ago. Modern day conveniences such as electric lights, machined
metal needles and threads and magnifying glasses give me an advantage
that they did not have then. I have, for the sake of curiosity, tried
embroidering by candle light with a large glass vase filled with
water to act as a magnifier but it proved quite difficult with my
already aged vision. I imagine embroidering that way caused eye
sight to deteriorate more quickly over the years.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A
fellow friend who also embroiders once told me “Embroidery always
takes twice as long as you think it will”. As always, she is
right. Even though I allotted what I thought was a generous amount of
time to finish this project prior to the event, I did not allot
enough. The tight linen I chose, even with reading glasses, was
sometimes difficult to count and mistakes were made that required
stitches to be removed thus delaying completion. </span>

The mayor of this past Pennsic asked me to create a hood with the Pennsic Mayor coat of arms on it. I made a viking hood with the arms embroidered than appliqued onto the front. Its a nice open weave linen for hot pennsic weather.<br />

For investiture this past weekend, I also made a couple of embroidered napkins for the Baron and Baroness who were stepping down. On the corner of a cotton napkin, I embroidered their coat of arms. They were given by the incoming Baron and Baroness as part of a gift basket to them. These are stitched with silk splendor embroidery thread. </div>

A few months prior, they asked me if I would make them a two sided banner with their coat of arms. She showed me one picture:<br />

This is the coat of arms for the Duke of Savoy in the 14th century. This standard only measures to be roughly 8" x 10". I decided, with consultation that theirs should be a tad bit bigger. She stated she wanted both of their arms created into a banner in the same fashion as this one. So, I decided to do a bit of research (GASP!!!) and try to make it as accurate as possible. Their coat of arms are these:<br />

<br />
Though many of the banners I looked into were painted, there were a few that were appliqued and embroidered. Well..this is right up my alley.<br />
<br />
The banner I made is constructed of black and white linen and silk embroidery and sewing thread.<br />
I used a cardboard template that i traced off of their arms and cut out the elements of them. I used blanket stitch when attaching the flowers, porcupines and mountains to the base linen fabric. The details to the elements was hand embroidered with Splendor Silk threads. I did use a machine to sew the four set of mini arms together to make each side of the banner. That is the only machine stitching used on the banner.<br />
<br />
The final measurement of the banner is roughly 24" x 24". I am quite pleased with how it turned out as were my sister and her husband.<br />

She sent me the arms and two napkins and asked if I'd stitch onto these. These are the arms of TRM of the Mid Realm.<br />
<br />
I used cotton DMC thread for durability in washing and color retention (i soaked the threads before using to prevent bleeding onto the white napkin). <br />

<br /></div>
<br />
Many months ago, a friend approached me about making her a sock pouch to present to her apprentice for her elevation ceremony. She originally wanted it knit with her arms woven into it but, being not terribly proficient in color changing in knitting yet, I asked if it could be embroidered and she agreed. She explained that the recipient is a huge Harry Potter fan and that by presenting her with a "sock" at the start of the elevation, she would release her as her apprentice to become a laurel. I LOVED THIS IDEA!! After inquiring about her persona, I decided to make a sock version of an alms (aumonieres) purse. Alms purses have been found through the years in several coutries: Spain, France, England to name a few. They vary in shapes, styles and materials made in. <br />
<br />
Some examples:<br />

It was from these images and a few others that I took my inspiration to create her purse.<br />
<br />
Materials used:<br />
<br />
Silk dupioni fabric (blue, antique gold)<br />
Silk sewing thread<br />
Splendor Silk 12 strand twisted embroidery thread<br />
Sulky Embroidery stabilizer<br />
Gold Pallions<br />
Lucet Corder<br />
<br />
I obtained an image of her arms from my friend and transferred it to the stabilizer and then used that to outline the design and added the peerage symbol of a Laurel wreath.<br />

Then i placed it over the ground fabric of the antique gold silk. Now while in most of the alms purses the ground fabric was covered with embroidery because it was usually a linen, I did not cover the entire purse in embroidery because I loved the glow of the silk.<br />

Using two strands of silk, I embroidered her arms and the wreath using split stitch, stem stitch and some satin stitch. Outlining the crane and ermine were done with one strand of black silk thread.<br />
<br />
Once finished I removed the stabilizer and cut out the shape of the sock. The entirety of it was hand sewn. I added the pallions in sets of three around the wreath/shield on the one side. I had considered putting some on the opposite side of the purse but for practicality purposes, it would rub against the clothing and I feared it would cause them to catch and pull off so I chose not to for that reason.<br />

When it was together, I made the eyelets using an awl (Yes, Jaji, that same deadly awl) and did buttonhole stitches to bind the edging.<br />

One of these days I'll have to get around to making an alms purse for myself. HA!!!<br />

Last night at East Kingdom 50 Year, she was elevated to the Order of the Laurel and I can safely post the finished pictures of the finished cloak now. I am so very pleased with how it came out. Sadly, the heat from the day forced me to leave early and I was unable to present the cloak myself and see her face when she saw it. I found this picture of her wearing it online this morning. <br />
<br />
Materials:<br />
<ul>
<li>Cloak is constructed of navy blue wool and golden linen</li>
<li>All embroidery was done by hand in split stitch, blanket stitch, stem stitch and satin stitch with Splendor Silk embroidery threads on linen and then hand appliqued onto the cloak. </li>
<li>There is tablet woven trim that was made by a friend of hers in her shire. </li>
<li>90% of the cloak was hand sewn except for the joining seam of lining to outer wool fabric. </li>
<li>She chose the design and style to span her two persona's. </li>
</ul>

Currently I am knitting on two pair of socks (one for an auction I offered a pair in), working on a cloak for a peerage elevation, a silk banner (slow going cause the silk is being difficult) and am plotting many other projects as well. Another blackwork coif, goblet cover, embroidered bag in german brick stitch, etc.<br />

So, I spent a good hour of my evening scanning them in and posting them on google docs. Posting them here so I can save the links as well as share.<br />

(you know you're hearing the song in your head now)<div>
Did you ever have some bad news in your life and it just hits you hard? How about multiple accounts of bad news fairly close together? Yea, that was me the last couple weeks. It hit me hard and took the wind out of my sails. I was more than sad for a few weeks. It doesn't matter what the news was (no one died, no one is sick so don't worry there) but what matters is it mattered to me. It brought me to a point where I thought I might quit one of my most favorite hobbies of playing in the SCA. That's when it occurred to me that somewhere along the line and over the last few years, I'd lost the fun playing in the SCA. I was always worrying about working on my peerage track and about how accurate my clothing was, how I acted, what I did and said with my teachers that I forgot to do the most important thing - to have fun. I was over committing myself with projects that I never had time to make anything for myself or my family, including new garb for myself because I have lost some weight and my old garb is a bit loose.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know, I can hear friends reading this saying "No shit, we have been telling you this for a while!", but it doesn't matter how many times friends say it if it doesn't truly sink in. My sadness was bad enough that I sat at my local shire's dancing event and NEVER EVEN DANCED ONCE!! What the f***!! It was after that event and talking with one or two friends about how I was feeling that it finally caused it to sink in. I want the fun back. I want the laughs back. I want the joy and inspiration that I use to be overflowing with back...the excitement to buy all the supplies to start a new projects back... So I have decided that I am going to get them back. I don't know why it took this long for the realization to sink in but it did and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel lighter for it. I have plans for garb with mad amounts of embroidery on them like an apron dress with grapes and ivy encircling the hemline. A Viking coat for myself with firebirds on it! Embroidered under dresses....accuracy be damned!! Take all the pictures and not feel obligated to do things...but do them because I want to. I'm going to try new things in the SCA too like bardic arts and I have an interest in fencing. Heralding was fun the one or two times I tried it and I didn't barf from nerves so, why not! Maybe even get back into scribal arts (now that Kyle is old enough not to "help"). I probably sound like a raving idiot but I finally feel like the cup is full again and I want to drink it all up! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe this doesn't make any sense to you, but trust me..this is all good and I feel fabulous now! I plan to be more focused on my own needs and wants..to put myself first instead of putting everyone else first as I have done for so many years. That isn't to say I wont do things for others but the balance will sway a bit more towards myself than away from now on. I feel enlightened and good and determined to focus on fun from now on. This is a statement I had to say more for myself than for you but figured if you'd seen me lately and how I have been, you'd now have a sort of explanation. I apologize for how I have been of late. I promise you wont see me that way any more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, we now return you to our regularly scheduled crafting blog...soon to be listing lots of fun stuff!</div>

Her Majesty came to me some time back asking me to knit a small sock in the East Kingdom's colors. She wanted to give it to a kingdom officer that was stepping down from his office. His knick name was "Doby". So, how else do you free a Doby?? You give him a sock!!</div>

A friend contacted me and asked if I could embroider a tunic for him. I assumed he wanted me to construct one and embroider it but he sent me a blue linen tunic via SCA courier. I thought adding black embroidered linen to the blue tunic would be more dressy. Also, in period, embroidery was done on separate pieces of linen then appliqued onto the garment so that when the garment deteriorated beyond wearing, they could remove the embroidery and attach it to a new garment. Materials used were black linen fabric and Splendor silk embroidery thread. Stitches used were double herringbone stitch and split stitch. </div>

A friend of mine sent me some un dyed yarn and some samples of dyes to give a try at hand painting yarn. Decided to give it a whirl the other day. Soaked the DK weight yarn that was superwash merino and silk in water that had citric acid mixed in. I used the plastic wrap and microwave method since I don't have anything more appropriate for doing heat dying. (a friend uses stainless steel bowls on her cook top) I used the sapphire blue and bright yellow, which ended up mixing and making a lovely green as well. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I have two more skeins to dye and also a sock blank. I post results when done! :D</div>

Aside from various pairs of socks I made, I took on a project of making baldrics for the Queen's Guard to wear at SCA functions. They had several baldrics but they didn't have enough for all the guards on staff and some had seen better days. So, I thought this would be something to keep me busy but still keep me involved behind the scenes.<br />
<br />
I hand embroidered each rose and then appliqued them onto a purple baldric that I backed and trimmed in matching yellow fabric. In total there were 35 to start, but...there was a corgi puppy incident with one..so then there was 34. Materials used were a thick cotton for durability, cotton DMC thread, again for durability and cost factor. I am very pleased to have them completed and very happy with how they turned out.<br />

There have been job changes, lots of projects and fun. This will be the first of a couple posts, just so as not to make them so long.<br />
<br />
I had a job with the Postal Service that kept me from getting to events because my hours were every Saturday and Sunday. I made it to Coronation here in the East Kingdom and that was the last event until this past weekend with 12th Night. In between then, my wonderful and beautiful sister in law treated me to my dream trip of going to Italy. We did a whirlwind tour of all the great places to see in 9 days. My favorite place to see and eat at was the Almafi Coast and Positano. I had my first limoncello there and fell madly in love with it. I brought home a bottle of it and it included a recipe. I thought I would give it a whirl when we got home and the bottle was quickly emptied between my husband and I. So, I got the supplies and followed the very simple recipe with one change. The italian's use grain alcohol like Everclear, which is very strong in flavor and expensive. After consulting with a friend who also makes it, she said to use Vodka.<br />
<br />
Recipe:<br />
Skins of 10 lemons<br />
Large bottle of Vodka (not an expensive brand)<br />
Biggest mason Jars I could find<br />
<br />
Friends were visiting and they all joined in the fun.<br />

<br />Once the vodka lemon skins mix has sat for minimum 8 days, you make a simple syrup solution of six cups of water and six cups of white sugar. Pour the syrup into the vodka/skins mix and swirl around. Because the jars were full to the top with vodka, we had to split the jars off into an empty one to be able to add the syrup. Once done, you strain out the skins and bottle. Here is the final results.</div>

Lessons learned in making this: in our first attempt we zested some of the lemons and peeled the others. I would stick with peeling the lemons with a potato peeler from now on as the zested bits didnt all completely strain out even with a piece of linen. </div>

It was a busy few weeks leading up to Pennsic. I was making items to be delivered to people there. I had a request for four Queen's Order of Courtesy roses for gloves by his Majesty. I embroidered them using stranded silk on linen fabric. They are pictured below:<br />

Her highness requested a stouter surcoat for herself to wear while she did combat archery in the battles. I created one based off the shape of one of the Prince surcoat that is in the regalia. It is constructed of linen with appliqued roses and the crown on both front and back. I used a modern iron on adhesive to adhere it to the linen and then used a blanket stitch on the edges to embellish it and aid in fraying prevention<br />

Another project that went to war as a surprise for their Highness's of the East were two pilgrim bags for their retainers to carry their daily necessary items in. They are constructed of navy blue wool and embroidered with a variation of their arms on the flaps. <br />

I also sent two linen viking hoods with embroidered edges to a friend, but I neglected to get pictures of them before they were packed. At 1am, my mind wasn't function on all cylinders, LOL. <br />
<br />
While I am sad I was unable to attend war this year due to real life issues I was glad to have sent a little things to different people and make them happy.<br />
<br />
I think Ill work on a couple of modern cross stitches for a relative and maybe knit a pair of socks or two...for now. <br />

One for wearing during battle and one to wear that was fancier. After a little bit of time (and RL interference) I was able to complete it. It is made of linen with cotton thread for embellishment. He said his second favorite animal is the raven so I added that in on the design. I embellished edges with double herringbone stitch and then running stitches alongside those. <br />

I was asked to do some knitting and embroidery by a friend for a mutual friend. How could I say no??!! It's two of my favorite things to do! But...there is a twist! :D My friend Mary Jo asked me to knit socks for our friend Patricia. One pair in her favorite colors, purple and green and one pair in the colors of the Order of the Pelican: red and ermine. I asked my dyer to dye me up some pelican colored yarn and then I got to work. Here are pictures of the socks..pretty self explanatory. They are superwash merino and nylon.<br />

<br />
Afterwards, I started on the medallion embroidery she wanted me to do. I used silk embroidery threads on white linen base. She wanted it small, so I made it small. I am fairly certain this is the smalled Pelican I have ever made in any medium.<br />

<br />
Since her favorite colors are purple and green, I incorporated them into the medallion. It was turned into a pin by Mary Jo and given to her this past weekend, along with the socks, when Patricia was elevated. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The twist to this is, Mary Jo didn't know she was being elevated to the Order of the Pelican as well. So I made her a pair of the red/ermine colored socks as well. It was a tearful wonderfully happy time and I am glad to see two friends honored and could...wait for it.... SOCK IT TO EM!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! I slay myself!<br />
<br />
Well, onto the next project!!!

I was passed the hoods at a previous event and asked that I embroider them with a design of three trees and two red feathers. The trees were a maple tree, pine tree and oak tree.<br />

I am very pleased with how they turned out and happy they are as well.

The needle felted pelican on her cloak had started to deteriorate with age and she asked if I could make one to cover over it. I agreed.<br />
<br />Materials:<br />
Red Linen Fabric<br />
DMC Cotton Threads<br />
Edging tape<br />
<br />
I am very happy with how this turned out. She asked for the badge to be more personalized by adding the SCA Chiurgeon's badge as that is what she received her peerage for. The image my inspiration came from was this:<br />

I tried my best to create the feeling of how feathers would appear within the stitching and I am pleased with how it looks.<br />
She received the cloak on Friday evening and is very happy with it. <br />
