These are pictures of the Krae Glas Wall Hanging, which I exhibited at the Laurel Prize Tourney last year (2008) at Festival. The project description is at http://www.sca.org.au/krae_glas/SuthGH/WCOB/Act/Wall/KGWall.htm. The project is based on the lost altar cloth, (Fragment, Rhineland(?), circa 1170 - 1180. Refer, Schuette, "Art of Embroidery". It was destroyed by fire during WWII. Details: Annunciation and Visition, Natviity and Adoration of the Kings Ascension. Fine linen ground, linen thread and a little silk thread. Chain Stitch. Ornamental bits were embroikdered in silk. We used split stitch and stem stitch as they were also known (more English) and seemed a bit easier than a tightly packed chain. Still a few more panels to go, I got one back and the individual working on it spilled coffee over it. Hm, may have to start again on that one... So after a break I'll get back to it (considering that mine took like 7 -8 months or so, working at a relaxed pace, ie, every day on my train commute).
