I made these shoes last year based on a pattern from _Shoes and Pattens_ from the Museum of London series. The pattens are also based on designs in that book, and these were made for Pennsic this year.
These arethe first pair of shoes I made. They are a Jorvik style Viking boot. Since I made them, I discovered that my method for making the heel was not typical, so I intend to make another pair. I wear these a lot, so they are in need of repair. I felted some wool inserts for these and the 14thC century shoes above. I definitely recommend this for comfort. The socks are made with naalbinding.
Here are two samples of my tablet weaving. The top one is a belt, and is my first piece without a threaded in pattern. The lower piece is destined to become garters, and is done in embroidery wool.
At Pennsic, I took a class on Ukranian Egg dyeing. The bottom of the three shown here is my second attempt. The others are the first attempts by two friends, whom I shared the technique with after Pennsic.
This is the inside view of my latest cotehardie, made of linen. It is hard to see in the picture, but I am attempting to show off the hand stitching in the seams, buttonholes, buttons, and silk edgings. This was a lot of work, but it looks great.
I cast this bronze buckle in sand - this is an unfinished piece. I based the design on a Viking age buckle.
This isn't period for the SCA, but I wanted to show someone the picture, so I posted it here.
