Clock Necklace - Double Set

I grabbed a few minutes recently to make a smaller necklace (in matching beads) to go with my new clock necklace. I left a little space in the middle of the necklace to add a pendant at a later date when I find something appropriate.

Pink Pearl Earrings

I got an amazing bead bargain recently, and picked up some beads and findings for ten for $1. I made a pair of pearl earrings with my bargain buys. I used a different type of head pin than I usually do, and they are made of quite a soft metal. It will be interesting to see how the new headpins stand up to wear and tear.

The pearl beads were threaded on to a headpin and topped with a bell cap. Then an earring hook was added and the top of the headpin was bent over.

These earrings will be useful for sixteenth century garb, especially English and Italian clothing.

Wolf Banner Device

You may remember that my SCA Barony has an ongoing project of a banner that displays the registered heraldic devices of people in the group. From time to time I make a device for someone who doesn't have time to make their own. I recently finished this wolf device in felt.

The device before the eyes were added

Joke 'googly'eyes were added

Although I loved the 'googly'eyes, I opted for a less controversial type of eye and used black beads! They will be more durable as the banner is rolled up for storage and transport.

Liebster Blog Award

I have been nominated by the Liebster Award by Nancy-Raven of Nancy-Raven's Attic. (Thank you Nancy-Raven.) You can find her blog here: http://www.nancyravencostumes.blogspot.ca/

The Liebster Award is basically an award that is by bloggers, for bloggers. It's passed from person to person to encourage connection and support within our writing community, and to aid in the discovery of new and upcoming bloggers. As such, here are some costuming and re-enactment blogs that I really enjoy following. I hope that you enjoy them too!

Clock Necklace

A friend in my SCA group organised some pendant clocks that we could use at events but that wouldn't look obviously modern. This weekend I finally managed to get time to make a necklace for mine.

It is strung on tiger tail wire with some clear glass, black gemstone and brass beads. I think I will make a smaller matching necklace to go with it so that I can wear them as a set.

Reclaimed Seahorse Napkin

I recently found a linen napkin in an op shop that had a very worn cross stitch flower motif in one corner. It also had a nice decorative pulled hem. I bought it for two dollars, unpicked the motif and washed it. Then I embroidered the heraldic seahorse from my device in stem stitch in one corner.

The napkin after the motif was unpicked

I also ran a purple thread along the decorative pulled hem for a subtle highlight.
