I was more or less productive today. I fixed the bead swag that I tried to restring last night, and I think it actually came out a little prettier.

I haven't actually done anything yet. There are some new skills I'm going to have to acquire for this project, so I'm doing test pieces first to make sure I know what I'm doing. The biggest is tablet weaving -- I want to do handwoven trim on both his tunic and my gown, and I want to put a tablet woven border at the top edge of my gown and the cuffs and hem of his tunic. I've never really done any tablet weaving, though I grasp the concept. I'm going to use a pre-existing draft, though; I definitely don't understand it enough to make up my own. I'm also planning on weaving some 2x2 twill to make leg wraps for the husband; we'll see how fast that goes. Luckily both the trim and the wraps are on the "get 'em done if there's time, scrap 'em if there's not" list.

So anyway, short answer, there are no pics yet, but I'll post them when there are. :-D

(And welcome. Don't mind my mess; I live here.)
