Making the Haversacks for Gulf Wars was especially fun as TRMs asked us to use Scythian zoomorphic designs as our basis. Researching Scythian is always a blast, and this was no different.
Inspiration for the bags:
(Saddle stuffed with deer and made with felt, appliqued with a griffin seizing a mountain goat.)
(Half-inch high plaque, a panther attacks an animal that is part horse, part eagle, part lion; it's antlers and tail form birds' heads.)
Haversacks are made of wool and linen, applique is wool felt, couched on with silk thread; straps are hand lined using a whipstitch. Haversacks completed March 2011.
