[h-cost] Glass beaded caul?
Hello Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get a beaded caul? I saw a Lady with one completely made from glass bugle beads and have been trying to find one since I saw her over a year ago. She was given it as a gift and doesn't know where it came from. My attempts to make one myself have not gone well. At all. ;) Castle Garden Creations makes beaded cauls but they are of plastic ( and I have several already). I do not want a crotched snood as I have a bunch of those as well. If anyone has ideas or suggestions I would very much appreciate it! Thank you!

I do not have her contact information and due to her health I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be able to have one for me for 12th night. ;) If you could ask her if she knows who does thought thatwould be great!

Lady Anne the Spinster makes them here in the Dallas area. I remember watching her make it at an event we were at together. I do not know what her health is like now so not sure if she is still making them but I bet she knows who does. :D Chiara - Original Message - From: Crimson Vision [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: [h-cost] Glass beaded caul?

Re: [h-cost] Elizabeta's Garb was: attaching feathers to a hat
Hi Regina, The gold guards were sewn directly onto the skirt fabric before piecing the skirt together. The skirt has a total of 16 gores on it which I carefully measured the length on before cutting so all I would have to do was turn the edge under to hem. After that I mapped out the gold pieces and cut those out; I had to paint all of the red swirls on them which was crazy time consuming so in ordre to paint only what was going to be used I really had to measure carefully. After piecing all the gold onto the velvet and making sure all the guards lined up I then sewed the 16 gores together and roll pleasted it to the waistband. The reasoning I had behind sewing the guards on before sewing the gores together was I wanted to skirt to fall in those tubular shapes seen in many of Cranach's paintings. I figured if there was a seam at each gore it would encourage the fabric to fold in a little bit and fall the way I wanted it to. I think it worked out pretty well. :) Elizabeta - Original Message - From: Wanda Pease [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 6:23 PM Subject: [h-cost] Elizabeta's Garb was: attaching feathers to a hat Elizabeta, How did you do the horizontal stripes on the skirt? Did you sew them straight onto the skirt fabric and then adjust the skirt from the waistband, or apply them after you had the skirt hemmed?
