I recently finished this long term project. I have worked on this and a couple of other pieces every year at one of our Medieval Faire demos. I was trying to work out how long I have been working on them - probably one day a year for ten years! It is nice to have it finally finished. It is a record of how my skills have developed over that time.
The embroidery is worked in DMC embroidery floss on linen ground fabric, and the spangles are metal.
The fabric circle is gathered into a band which is decorated with green ribbon, I have added a metal comb inside the band to help keep the caul in place, and a couple of little buttonhole rings to slide bobby pins through.
