Re: [h-cost] attaching feathers to a hat
To punch holes in a feather quill for sewing we've always used a hot needle. It burns its way through the quill and there is no danger of splitting the quill. You don't need fancy equipment. Just lay the needle across the burner of your stove. Heat it until its hot, then use a pair of pliers (preferably needle nosed) to pick it up and press it through the quill. Return it to the burner to heat again. It takes a little time, but helps to stitch your feathers just were you want them.

[h-cost] Mystery Hands
I've been pondering this detail of a painting for quite some time: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/86215971/ Where I found it is on the cover of a book, _500 Jahre Rosenkranz_, the catalog of a 1975 exhibition in Cologne, Germany, marking the 500th anniversary of the "modern" rosary. Unfortunately the book is in German, which is a language I can plod through, but not skim. I've looked in the obvious (to me) places where the cover picture's source might be mentioned (title pages, last pages, etc.) with no luck. Can anyone help me identify the painting? It seems likely from the context (and from what's visible in the picture) that this is a woman, possibly the Virgin Mary or a saint. This looks to me like "Biblical" or "exotic" clothing rather than what normal people actually wore. If so, this is less likely to be a "donor portrait" in the corner of a painting (since they're usually painted in "ordinary" clothes) and more likely to be one of the main subjects. Does this look familiar to anyone? I've discussed the reasons why I'd like to identify this painting here: http://paternosters.blogspot.com/2005/06/more-mystery-hands.html (besides just plain curiosity, that is!) -- OChris Laning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Davis, California + http://paternoster-row.org - http://paternosters.blogspot.com ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] 100-year-old Vietnamese bark dresses
A collection of ancient dresses made from tree bark has been found in Quang Tri Province. It is believed that is a relic of the Van Kieu, one of the Vietnamese ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands. According to experts, making a tree dress is very difficult. First, skilful artisan is chosen to get the bark from the Pi, a tree in the Central Highlands. He would not chop down the tree, just pare round it and take a layer of bark. At home, the artisan's partner prepared cask of boiling water, with spices such as ginger, sugar-cane, and citronella. The tree skin would then be soaked in the water in 10 days to release its poisons. It would then be dried for a week and restored. On the 14th day of a lunar month, people would take it and sew into clothing. Sounds fascinating! I'm intrigued by the references to "poisons" (?) and to the "ritual" aspect of choosing a particular day to work on the project. http://english.vietnamnet.vn/lifestyle/2006/01/534345/ -- OChris Laning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Davis, California + http://paternoster-row.org - http://paternosters.blogspot.com ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

RE: [h-cost] fashion dolls again.
I think they are designed by/for the same groups that appreciate 'anime'. Mostly reminds me of the 60' big-eyed waifs on velvet stuff... HTH!

Those are such awesome dolls, can't wait to see your dolls dressed. Some links that might interest you: Awesome faceups: http://www.bellarepaints.com/enhancements-gallery.htm Not sure why these dolls appeal to me (other than the fact they are jointed in 23 differnt places!) the are kind of odd. They are very realistic and alien looking at the same time: Here are some examples of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls http://glassorion.main.jp/ Bjarne og Leif Drews wrote: > Hi, > I remember we disgussed this topic way back.

[h-cost] What's it called?
http://www.newadvent.org/images/04351aax.jpg that little square thing at the top edge? What is that called? I've been considering decorating that wide strip of cloth that works as a closure for the half round copes the priests, and everyone seemingly, wore across the high chest to keep them on as my SCA baronial champions project. A previous baronial artisan project spun and wove cloth, and has hand sewn two baronial cloaks. They have worked out to be half round "copes". Since they need a way to be WORN, I thought making a very decoratively beaded, and therefore kickass, set of that strippy thing (whatever THAT THING is called) along with a beaded clasp, or two. I just am drawing a blank on the nameon what those thigns are called... so I can do some design research. Each would have a theme I am thinking, like flora and Fauna, hunting, or something... Anyway I think would be a worthy project , and needed likely, and be hopefully the first of a set of projects to enhance the cloak by following champions with embroidery or ornamentation.

[h-cost] Re: New BBC Elizabethan drama - Virgin Queen
i found a small photo of the "riding outfit" that i liked, and also a sketch of the design, both on the bbc site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/images/bank/programmes_tv/bbc1autumn_2005/300_virgin_queen.jpg http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/virginqueen/images/440x245/costume_3.jpg looks like a reddish-brown velvet doublet worn over a patterned-fabric kirtle? it's hard to tell what the kirtle fabric is in the costume photo, and in the sketch photo, the swatch is almost all cropped out. brocade maybe? ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
