And the next part of the project is to make a new wulsthaube, so that I can make a new hood that I can embroider. I also want to decorate one of my belts with a lot of mounts, and then comes the cape. I also need a new shift, but I will push that one back to last.
I will need to buy quite a lot of hardware, and even if every individual item isn't too expensive in the end it all ads up, so this is a post where I try to just make a wish list so that I can plan my budget. This is definitely a wishlist, and I will probably have to cut down on it.
For the goldwork hood I will order my supplies from Golden-Hinde.UK, but there are a few things I need from other places. On the hood that I'm using as inspiration there are a lot of stones in settings. They look very much like these
Trulyhats.Net is an American site though, and with the current state of the world I'm not sure that I can trust that they would come here within a decent time.
Gothic-Cast has these buttons, dated to 1400-1500 in their inventory. They are more rounded that then other option, but on the other hand the stones are made from enamel and are not faceted which is more correct than the first choice. A bonus is also that these buttons are made from a Swedish find, so they would definitely be correct for my Swedish court gown. They are available with red, dark blue and green stones and with a gilded or silver finish. They cost around €4 each with a gilded finish, and I need a bunch of them, so probably around 500 SEK just for the buttons.
Gothic-Cast also has these other things I would like
A pendant for 1470-1520 €45 |
A molten chain 14th-17th century around €50 |
A clasp to close the cape 1400-1500, €22.50 |
