Updating out-dated links to photos. Boring. Very boring. I don't know if I'll fix all the links here on LJ, but I have to fix it on my website. I've gone back through entries and added the tag fixit to all posts of event photos that lead to the two dead photo sites tworavens and pixbox.

I've also been uploading older albums to flickr. I suggest checking that out if you want to find my older archives. I'll keep adding old event photos there in the coming months. Easiest is to check the sets - everything will be organized into a set http://www.flickr.com/photos/liabucket/sets/

ETA: A few more old albums uploaded. 2007 University and Crown Tourney. Same place :)

There's a picture from Civil War of a wall hanging - done in reds and blues. That is AMAZING! Is that silver thread outlining everything? I can't quite tell from the photos. I'm presuming that its applique?

It's a wool intarsia cover. All wool fabrics, cut out so that each beast is cut out once in red, once in blue, and then the cut-out bits change place, so the red is filled in with blue beast and vice versa. Stitched first in place with linen thread, then all the seams are covered with gilded leather. Real leather with real gold leaf on the surface. This thin strip of gilded leather is basically couched down over the joins between the intarsia figures. Plus made into the shape of the vine on the surround. Based on an extant example in the Museum of national Antiquities in Stockholm, Sweden.

Look for the two headings "Intarsiabroderi" and "Guldskinnsbroderi"
Or the English version

Look for "Intarsia technique" and "Gild leather cloth"

This reproduction I took pictures of was made by Mistress Elenore of Lyonesse.

Erik's home server died and he's moving his photos over to smugmug, an excellent photo sharing site. So I'm relocating again to flickr. I only chose that over smugmug because I've already got an account there, and they had a good deal for a two-year pro account.
