Faster Than Handsewing

Belt and Championship

This 14th century Italian belt looks like it might be tablet woven (though it is hard to see under the enamel decorations).
This weekend was our Baronial Championship, and I ran an Arts and Sciences competition which was for favours (any style, any medium, to be made over the weekend). There were seven entries, all wonderful. I made a piece of tablet weaving that may end up being a bookmark, or gart, or goodness-knows-what, but I got to try out continuous warping (yay - quick and easy), satin-style weave (pretty), and dropping the brocade weft to the back to turn (nice neat edges).
