Re: [h-cost] Lacing rings
Does anyone know the merchant who sold me a supply of small (less than 1/4 inch) but sturdy brass rings (no visible seam) I sell these rings. They are 20 for $1.00 and you can buy as many or as few as you want. Here is the link: http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/products.php?int_era_id=5start_count_url=36 or you can go to my homepage at http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/index.php and do a search for lacing rings. They are about 3/8 in diameter and very sturdy! Hope that helps!

Depending on time frame, I just want to warn people that the images may not be accurate, as to me, some look rather Victorian in styling. I am currently looking over the 1500s England to see what they have. Some are not in the right time frame (ie images noted as being in the reign of James I, which was 1600s). Some are noted on the image as being of a certain date, but the style of garment is definitely incorrect for that date. (ie: Elizabeth, 1559., IMAGE ID: 811192 ). Most make me want to see the original, if there is any. Thankfully, they do have detailed info on where the plates originally come from in most cases. There is one lady holding a handbag! ([Woman in long dress holding a handbag]. IMAGE ID: 811216) Oh, I've never seen that style of purse in this time period before. There is one that I have become partial to. Anyone know if there is an actual portrait this image may be based on? (Mary.

Re: [h-cost] Fabric dying
Greetings again, I'm working on a couple of gowns and will be needing to write something up about how I would have dyed them the color they are. Since, I am not a dyer (yet). Can someone give me a name of a good book on medieval dyes that I may be able to find at my local library? The dye recipes I am looking for are a pink (more of a dusty rose) and a bluish violet. I have done some natural dyeing in the past but I can't remember the books that I used as reference (my dyeing partner bought and kept the books). Your best bet may be to start with your library...older books are still good references and won't cost you anything. Once you decide to try some dyeing yourself, you may want to invest in some books because they will have weights and measures that will help immensely. And if you want bonus points from the judges, mention how colorfast the dye is. You can achieve many colors using all kinds of natural dyestuffs but many of them will fade either quickly or eventually. Good luck sorry I couldn't give you better suggestions!

I am currently looking over the 1500s England to see what they have. Some are not in the right time frame (ie images noted as being in the reign of James I, which was 1600s). I'm pretty sure those are from Victorian costumes books, so anythign prior to the mid 19thC I really would take with a grain of salt. I did notice quite a few of the German images were from trachtenbuch that can be found online (Wiegel, Jost Amman...) They were not too bad actually, being based on woodcuts. The colours were pretty fantastical though;) There is one lady holding a handbag! ([Woman in long dress holding a handbag]. IMAGE ID: 811216) Oh, I've never seen that style of purse in this time period before. I'm having major troubles getting the images to load .. Ok got it. This looks like it could be cobbled from Vicello's book perhaps? There is one that I have become partial to. Anyone know if there is an actual portrait this image may be based on? (Mary. IMAGE ID: 811214 ) It looks a bit like some SPanish or Spanish inspired portraits actually. I suspect a half or bustlength portrait from which they have extrapolated the skirt. michaela de bruce http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
