things I want to do
Jan. 9th, 2014 09:20 pmA list:
That's an awfully lot of sewing for someone who detests sewing as much as I do...
- Finish up the notecards I owe
nz_bookwyrm. I have four of the five designs chosen, and most of them sketched out, so they really shouldn't take much more time. They are also sadly overdue.
- A few blank scrolls for the Gulf Wars gift basket, one using either this O or this O.
- Make a woollen panel hat, lined in linen, and decorated with the thick orange yarn I won in a Raglan raffle years ago. If we get back to Iowa in the summer and visit Joel's aunt and uncle, as a bonus maybe I can pick up some mink furs and make a fur lined or trimmed one. Maybe make one for the Gulf Wars gift basket, too.
- Make more wire jewelry. I'd love to investigate necklaces and bracelets.
- Finish my pewter mold and cast into it -- preferably before ID coronet.
- Make a parti-colored plaid cote-hardie the ones here; a color image of the woman's dress can be found here.
- Make a dress like the blue or pink one in the first row here -- complete with the pretty gold bandings.
- Make a heraldic surcoat (see also here), in Drachenwald colors.
- Make a belt like this one or this one.
- Except that I'm not Italian, make a slitted overdress like this one.
- Dress up like Dialectica. And maybe find an Aristotle to dispute with?
- Make an outer layer like the one here (I can't tell for sure from the image if the white is a separate layer from the red, but it looks like it. And it would be more versatile if it were).
- Make a dress like this (though Joel wants me to make one like this, since he says I have the figure to pull it off).
- Make a wooden box in the manner of master Svartulvur, always remembering while doing so the useful concept of "Laurel minutes".
- Make an embroidered copelet.
Make a 14th-C-esque veil/head-covering.12-Jan-14.- Convert a photo of my cousin into a painting.
