I was going to do this as part of one big hat post, but I love this hood so hard I just had to feature it! (Cleeck the Peechewers! Cleeck them! Make them BIIG!!!)
Exterior is dark green wool with a bit of a whitish haze to it. Light weight, 2/2 twill.
Lined in bright red coarse weave silk! Heavy weight, tabby.
No weird long liripipe, thank you very much! We're VIKINGS!!! ;)
It's reversible too!
You know, for sudden wolf-hunting emergencies!
Red wool herringbone (my favourite!) stitching around the bottom and front opening of the shoulder skirt.
And Sutton Hoo/variant of the Vandyke stitch to stitch down the burgundy silk edging on the hood (the wool is a touch itchy on bare skin and I'm a RICH viking, dammit! :)
...being the blog of a late-9thC. Irish woman who spends far too much time in low Viking company

Byzantine Doll
Another medieval rag doll! Byzantine fashion, inspired by this artifact
Not adding it to the largesse list yet. May actually *keep* it for my own toy-demo box! If I do give it away, there will be a new dress for it though. That's real tapestry sewn on the front!
