Current projects

For my first blog post EVER, I decided to list all the projects I have either in-progress or on my to-do/wish list.

1)  embroidery on the neckline of one of my daughter's dresses - Done :-)
2)  heraldry:  working on resubmissions for the Midhaven populace badge and the badge of the Company of the Tulip; name research for Libuše Makovička, and consultation for an augmentation of arms for Duchess Angharad. - Midhaven resubmissions:  Done :-)
3)  a haversack for my wife.  It will be made of olive-green hemp with a wool lining.  The front flap will be embroidered with a depiction of a knight, making obeisance to his lady, the artwork being derived from an illuminated folio in the Westminster Psalter (c. 1250).  I may card-weave the shoulder strap on an inkle loom.
4)  a sleeve to protect/contain a staff - Done :-)
5)  a reversible herald's tabard bearing the arms of the Kingdom of An Tir, and flipping inside out to bear the arms of the Shire of Midhaven
6)  a belt favor bearing the herald's badge - Done :-)
7)  an An Tir ensign to fly at camping events
8)  a song to honor those of An Tir who have passed into the next world
