A scroll and a ruff start
So I am finally getting back into making things again.
First up was several hours of time (over two days) spent painting on a Harp Argent scroll for a friend.
I've only painted in half the page, as the other half was covered while I worked. I'll be covering up the painted & calligraphed side and working on the other half when I can, which I realized I have a month left to do other projects first, so it will be awhile. (The calligraphy was done a bit ago).
The other thing I started on is a set of wrist ruffs for my merchant's outfit. Tonight I cleared the cutting table, washed and pressed the cotton lace, and cut 3 full lengths of linen at 2" a piece. I'll be cutting one of those lengths in half to make each wrist ruff 1.5 lengths long. Since the lace is still damp after pressing, I'll let it dry overnight and get started with the sewing tomorrow.
I need it done by next Monday for our Baronial A&S activity, and definitely need it done for Pentathlon next month. Other items I need done is some redoing of my merchant outfit, and finishing up my English gable hood. A lot more hand sewing is in my future. Progress pics when I can (and have something interesting to share).
