[h-cost] Holiday Exchange Reminder
Hi folks, It's ten days past the mail-by date and I'm hoping everyone was able to get their packages mailed off. I know some of you were late. If you have not mailed either a package or a notice of some sort, I need to know about it ASAP.

Re: [h-cost] Even Weave Fabric
It sounds like she's asking for fabric that's specially woven for use in Hardanger embroidery (the pairs of threads is a good give-away). Depending on where you are located, you should be able to find it in packets at your local Michael's or JoAnn's. Come to think of it, I think my local JoAnn's may have it by the yard. You might also try googling for Hardanger fabric. --Sue - Original Message - From: Elisabeth Doornink [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Historical Costume' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 2:26 PM Subject: [h-cost] Even Weave Fabric My mother has requested even weave fabric for Hardanger Embroidery (a Norwegian form of drawn thread work and counted thread white work embroidery). I haven’t been able to locate any besides the tremendously overpriced stuff at a local Scandinavian shop. This isn’t the cross stitch stuff, but is woven with a pair of threads, instead of the large basket weave. Does anybody know where I could buy this? ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Did someone here say they were collecting stamps for a young relative? I've just found a box of old Christmas cards from a decade ago, and would be happy to save the stamps before I dump the lot into the recycle. Let me know.

Re: [h-cost] The other boleyn girl
hmmm ... nice colors though, pretty, very pretty. I like the closeup of the jewelry that I can get from the high res images. Can someone find the link of the original painting that they actually found of the girl in this dress that this movie is based off of?

RE: [h-cost] The other boleyn girl
Oh boy, costume-wise this is going to be more fun to diss than the costumes in the film Anne of the Thousand Days(1969). I was thirteen then so most of the costumes, except for Anne's headgear looked pretty authentic to me. I guess they downsized the headdresses on the leads so those faces don't ever get obscured. And the fou-fou bodice detail: looks like the designer stole from here and there so it would look detailed enough for 2006 eyes. Portman should at least be shown in the latest French styles--and there were puffed sleeves now and again--but most English court women didn't look so well, Elizabethan, until Elizabeth. I'll probably see this film, but if it follows the book: Anne as Monica Lewinsky, Henry VIII as Bill Clinton heavy overtones, I'm going to endanger myself choking on my popcorn!
