War of Wings X is over - sadly! This was my first large event in this area and it was a perfect event for the SCA ( Society of Creative Anachronism ) I did teach Bead Embroidery in a historical fashion. I chose to teach historical bead embroidery on a pouch ( the one I selected could hold a cell phone ) as women in the 14th, 15th and 16th century did not carry handbags but love " Sweet Bags" and beautiful pouches. If you have time to visit the SCA page - you'll see the , rest of the story.
Each class member learned the perfect Bead Embroidery stitch before I let them begin on their pouch - but I am looking forward to seeing each pouch that posts from each class member. Yes! The pouch is closed. I've developed a nice little process of beading on closed bags. I have another wonderful belt pouch that I bead embroidered to develop the technique above - it is on my SCA pages for historical garbing.
I am currently finishing the design on the " Superstition Blog Hop" as our reveal is coming up on the 13th of November, actually a very cute Halloween ( Samhain ) design.
Working on new chainmailing projects and beading projects so I cannot wait to share.

Coronation Gift for her Majesty Adelhait Fuchs - October 10, 2015
I haven't been quiet on the Bead Embroidery front so to speak....... the local SCA has been keeping me very busy and I just completed my Coronation gift for the new Queen of Atlantia - Adelhait Fuchs ( Ash Terrell ). My cohort in crime, Mary Novgrod was able to find out her gown colors and I sat and composed a beautiful bead embroidery necklace with matching earrings. I was only able to take a few quick photographs and I requested a photo of her wearing it with the gown for my portfolio. The research paper was very specific and included.
Here are the Coronation Photographs-
Here is the Bead Embroidery Tudor style necklace that I completed for Ash Terrell.
I was blessed! It matched perfectly and as soon as I receive the photograph of Her Majesty wearing the piece - I'll post it.
I'll add the research to Dropbox and add the link so you can see why this type of necklace was selected to present.
