ReplyDeleteYes, it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of shooting the messenger, have you thought about adding some single 'shapely' lines flowing out from the top of the feather once it is put in place? Would add an element of movement. I think, but what do I know!!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting idea. We'll see once it's appliqued onto the robe. Noted.
DeleteI really like the introduction of the copper color in your design!
ReplyDeleteit all goes together so elegantly...what was fun was watching it grow...
ReplyDeleteFor me it was fun seeing how it developed, too.
DeleteSomething a bit off the track, but I think you might enjoy it.

doesn't take up a lot of room on the ground, and I suspect we had linen growing here--we had the spinning wheels, and the loom, and something that looks suspiciously like that 'board fulla nails" at the end, used for combing the flax...
Dead link, But I'm betting it's a link to that old Irish guy on the model historical reenactment farm showing the processes from flax to linen? It's incredibly labor intensive to get to linen. Just as well it's hard wearing when you get it.
Deletewell drat, but yeah, that was the irish fella and his incredible machines...someone who came here put me onto the reality of weaving and such, as he said, they couldn't buy it, they had to make it. And there were spinning wheels here, mystery objects, and a 12 harness loom in the attic, or what was left of it.
DeleteLittle by little, i can piece together what went into living here in 1800...
Love, love, love.
