Subject: new Viking costume book on offer from DBBC
Dear Joan Jurancich
Hot on the heels of "Medieval Garments Reconstructed" comes another
northern European medieval costuming book. This one comes from the
far reaches of northern Norway and is written and published by Nille Glaesel.
"Viking: Dress, Clothing, Klaer, Garment" comes in two parts: the
book and a folder containing three full-size patterns. Very well
illustrated in color and with many drawings, the book is quite unique.
This is what Nille Glaesel says in her introduction:
For many years I have worked with textiles, making Viking clothes
and shoes. I have also tanned leather and worked with a
reconstruction of Osebergrevlene for the Viking Museum, Lofotr. I am
often asked about patterns for the Viking's beautiful garments. It
is through this work that I have seen the need for a book which
makes it easy for anyone to sew their very own Viking costumes,
based on the sparse findings that have been gathered and preserved
from the Viking period. Although the findings are few, they
nevertheless give us some clear guidelines for cut, use of materials
and techniques.
As an imported item, this is not an inexpensive work, but we have
done the best we can and we're offering it for $100 for the next
couple of weeks.
