The green bliaut page

[frualeydis]

There is some stupid trouble with uploading stuff on the account that has the first page, the costume gallery etc, hopefully it will sort itself out. Anyhow, thanks to my darling husband who's been taking care of kids and household this evening, there is now a page on the green bliaut. Hopefully you can see it, or else I will kill myself, or Comhem my internet provider.

I love this dress. It's almost enought to make me try early period. ;)

Wow. That looks amazing. I adore that color green and the smocking is wonderful!

Beautiful. Now I really want fabric I can use for a bliaut project. I'll get a proper bliaut in the end - it may take me years, but I WILL have one in the end.

Oh yes, I wanted to know, what does your sleeve pattern look like?

You are beautiful!!! That bliaut is downright gorgeous, and so flattering on you. I want one! Wait, I want a hundred!!!

Wow. My favourite part is how the sleeves show off the fabric and trim.

Wow. That is lovely.

FWIW I've achieved that exact same shade of pink on linen using madder with an alum mordant. It faded to something more apricoty, but it started off exactly that colour. Mind, I live in a very hard water area, but it is doable.

I am fascinated by the smocked gores. How hard were they to do?

Peronel.

lovely dress!

also bazil wood soaked in a deluted soluton of pottash will produce that pink hue. (an experience made during pigment making and straining bazil wood through a piece of linen...)
