frualeydisOne of the most gorgeous, extravagant presents after my disputation I got from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
myralea. In this post she writes about real gold thread she had bought. Well, I got some of it!! Both 5000 m of good quality fake (you can see the spools on the lower left picture) and some (quite a lot) of the real stuff! I mean, real gold thread!! This is such a lift for Rickard's silk tunicella (which I haven't worked on for months). Now all will be real: real silk twill, fresh water pearls, a silk tablet woven band and real gold thread (the original has small gold tubes, but this is an inspired product, not an exact copy). Now I just need to get the motivation to start working on the embroidered cuffs.
