Lochac A&S Championship Pouch, XLIV

I have finished the Championship pouch, for this years A&S Champion. It is made of blue velveteen, lined with white linen. The Red cords were handknitted. The embroidery was done in silk and silver. I tried my hand at some raised embroidery... will need more practice.

The eyelets were handsewn with embroidery silk.

The spangles are 'gold' coloured metal (of unknown origin that I inherited somewhere)...
I will be posting this soon.

Great Southern Gathering 2010

This year's Great Southern Gathering is to be held in Innilgard (Adelaide) the long weekend of 1-4 October. I am organising the teachers and class timetable.

I am looking for any SCA people who are willing to attend and teach us something!

The website is at

If you are really looking for a major event, the weekend before we have La Prova Dura and the Rattan Symposium the week between.. lots of fun for all!

 

That Red Dress I mentioned...

Hopefully this picture will add!

Just Checking

I am trying out a new thing for the blog. Most of the stuff here will be SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) or Renaissance/Medieval Recreation related... Like the Red Pisa Dress I saw in Pisa, at the 2008 Textile Colloqium... sigh
