Snapshot of a Reticule in Progress

The basics for an early reticule. Drawn on silk, then spangled with gold spangles from Berlin Embroidery and sadi purl frisee from India.

A rainy Fourth of July morning meant a peaceful time for the boys and I, allowing them hours to relax after yesterday's fun at Spindletop with friends from Atlanta, and me ditto to draw, which is always fun.

The design is my take on a home-produced one from the Victoria and Albert Museum. More details later.

Ciao!

    Dear Mrs. C,
    Thank you! It seems to be going okay. I've finished the spangling and am now stitching the exterior, then lining it.

    Very best,

    Natalie

    Isn't this one of the reasons we all like historical costuming so much: plenty of different handcrafts to discover!
    This one looks lovely.
