A long-awaited project

Finally done!!

There were many adventures along the way, and I'll need to get some better photos - I'm having a heck of a time with the reflections and glare. But it's done! Ha!

Seconding this....I've only ever found the jeweled headband thingy myself. Would love to see docs for an actual IR coronet...Please?

There is a portrait on page 445 of Lightbown of Caterina Cornaro by Gentile Bellini. It says it's Venetian, from 1500. She is wearing a coronet that would work very well in the SCA. I've been planning to take digital photos of some of these pages, because the images aren't online anywhere and the book is unobtainable. I don't think posting them on the Internet is a good idea, though. Send me an email with your email address and I will send you the photo. This will help kick me in the butt to actually take the photo. :-)
