cleves leaves progress

[pinkdiamond]

I don’t know how I got this energy- well I do and it has everything to do with my therapy and being able to actually do stuff and then build up on that to do more stuff 🙂 Had a day of sleep at one stage though 🙂

So the frame is apparently the perfect cat shape as he makes a bee line for it no matter where I set up!

These leaves are the same as my Krantz, and in order to make sure they sew in place I had to hammer out holes from the pointy end. (I have found there are indeed flitter haube from further west, it makes sense with the influence from Nurnberg but it’s not close enough to Kleve!)

It’s very bright. Like blinding in bright light!

And how it looks as of just shy of the end of my birthday 🙂 So yay! That is a very good birthday present to have 🙂

(Subtle laurel is not at all subtle, though might have to get less subtle in the back.

So beautiful and shiny!

Thank you :) I may try and get the sequins done and it back on the abse today :) Never worked this fast on hand work before so I'd like to get it finished :)

Also am bidding on a local actual metal saree here, I hope. It looks like the same fabric as for my current haube :)

I was just scrolling past, and the shape of the panels (bits for a decorated saddle look like that) and the gold leaf spangles made me think you'd gone Skythian :-)

That is going to make you look like a Sun Goddess!
