Hood progress

[alysten]

I have added a stag to the Prince's hood. It very much matches his arms now, thanks to Kragore's vector graphics. IanRaven's hood is nearly completed as well. I need to finish sewing on the dags and painting the last of the ermine dots.

Stag - appliqued? Or painted?

Painted. Too many little parts and too little time for applique. Besides, this is an under the mask hood. Poor thing is so going to be abused.

*g* Good girl.

I was about to be insanely jealous of your mad applique skilz.

Not that you couldn't manage with wool felt... but not for that application!

I haz the mad applique skills... I just don't let them out much. I'm too lazy and armor demands that everything be sewn down within an inch of it's life. And its 100% linen. Stuff frays like there is no tomorrow.

Besides, our Prince is a "casual" fencer (and by casual I mean, he picks up a blade for Pennsic), so I really need his armor to stand up to being abused/not seen/stuffed in the bottom of a bag somewhere.
