[project update] A&S

Here are the pics as promised. They were taken with my cell this morning, so they are not the best quality.  But they are good enough for government work.

The Tyger of the East is iconic. People in this kingdom ‘know’ what this figure looks like. One of the most challenging aspects of the project is to translate a 2 dimensional image into a 3 dimensional sculpture. There is a certain amount of guess work involved. The project is now to a point where you can clearly see what the sculpture will be.

The side we 'see':


Flip side:


And here is the fire coat. So far I have gone through about 800 yards of black thread. You can see the padded channels on the front of the coat and the charges which have been attached to the sleeves.

many questions.....
what's the coat based on, is there a link that you can post to an extant garment of it's kind? is there a book that I can look at?

what are the charges for? is there a documentable reference for them? are they a play on your personal heraldic charge? what did you use to make them?

The stitching looks beautiful from the photograph. I can totally understand the need to not be hand sewing the entire coat! Whoa!
