For haugtussa

Thanks to liadethornegge who showed me the link to the site I present this lovely late 13th-early 14th century embroidered purse. It is a given Ragnhild project in my eyes.

I can tell that it's wool embroidery, but what's the specific technique? And the background fabric? (I don't speak... very many languages and can't even recognise which one that it-- it looks related to German, though?)

I dunno, it's all Dutch to me.

Hee! I can't claim to have found the resource myself, it was linked off armour archives, and also inspired me to similar things. You know, just as soon as I learn how to embroider free-form stuff.

It's probably at least partly counted thread embroidery. haugtussa has done some really nice things in that with sewing silk.

ooooh, that's nice. I love the fylfots...

Definitely now on my "to do list"

Oh! that's so nice, I will have to try to figure out how it is made!
