Here are pics of the progress I have made this week-

My Opus Anglicanum Lion is coming along nicely but I need to purchase more Eterna stranded silk in black-

From this:


To this:



And my Anglo-Saxon Dress Pins:



This weekend should see me finishing the pins. I'll post somemore pics tomorrow.

The Lion looks fabu! So do the bone pins, but the lion is so shiney!

Thank you! Shiney! Silk is so good for that and It's no harder to work with than cotton floss.

But I still like cotton floss for things I will be washing a lot. You can get DMC floss in colors that look just like SCA period dye colors.

The lion is coming along nicely ... and the pins well :)

I just love your Opus Anglicanum Lion. Can you bring him with you next week, so that I can see him in person?

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Sure!
I was going to bring him, the tunic, 1/2 circle cloak,and belt that I made for Erica when she was two years old, for the then and now display. Are you bringing anything to display?
