I met Brid, Laurel of the East Kingdom, interested in early period British Isles stuff (particularly Irish) in Thora Sharptooth's wadmal class.
This is her in her Orkney hood. I like hooded capes very much (see the chaperon pattern), and didn't know about this one, so I looked it up, and found this re-creation.
I will never be as good as the author in this paper. Not that I think I have to be, but my word – the fantasticness of the geekery. All honors and homage are due. I am terribly impressed.
Hi Greet!
I’ve been following your blog for a while now, I’ve been on and off in the SCA for 8 years now and just RECENTLY am starting to get serious- imagine my surprise to see Brid in your blog! I know her very well, I live a little north of her and see her once a week or so. She’s a wonderful dear. I bet she was just thrilled to share EVERYTHING about her hood with you.
Thought this was a good time to say hi! Scrolling down and going, “Hey! I know that face!”
=)
Hallo
ich bin wegen dem Orkney Hood auf deinen Blog gestoßen. Ich mache in Deutschland ein Pikten Reenectmant 800n.Chr. und bin auf der Suche nach weiteren Kleidungen. Vielleicht kannst du mir weiterhelfen? Was hatten die Pikten denn an?
ganz liebe Grüße
Andrea
