I've been feeling a challenge to design garb for pre-1066, northwestern Europe (specifically Irish from the Scandinavian extraction). This is difficult, because the graphic record seems to go from mosaics of Theodosius to the Book of Kells with no in-between, and not much else. Mistress Una sent me to this book:Dress in Anglo-Saxon England, Gale Owen-Crocker which Maudey had, and also had this one: Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England, Penelope Rogers I looked at both of them this weekend. I wants them. They did well to feed the weaver-person, just like Clothing Culture and Woven Into the Earth. … Continue reading The Dark Ages are called Dark for a reason….
Sorry it's taken so long, Maudey. And of course it took all of five minutes to do, I have no excuse. But it looks nice. For those clueless: My 'official' apprentice belt was Maudey's apprentice belt, and she painted her Laurel's badge on it. (Master Allan, a fleur-de-lis, in blue and gold.) She suggested I could put her badge on it for me…8 months ago. Maudey's badge is a pair of gold scissors. Continue reading Finally got the scissors on the belt…

I'm still pondering Fancy Event Garb, for the eventual production of pictures to talk over. A and I really need to resolve some sort of approach. As he's way ahead of me in simple accumulation, I'm concentrating on myself at present. Who would know about non-Viking-apron clothing for early period northwestern Europe? I've been looking at the Book of Kells, and they all seem to be wearing leines and brats, as described by this site: "The léine (pronounced /lay'-nuh/) in early Ireland in early depictions (between 5th and 12th century CE) is a long smock-like garment made of linen, not … Continue reading Northern Europe non-apron garb question
