First and foremost, I had my apprenticing ceremony in May. I've been Meistara Reginleif's student for a year and we both agreed that we wanted to move forward with an formalized apprentice/laurel relationship. I was thrilled because I have a great respect for my laurel and have had a lot of fun trying new things to help make the work I do more authentic. Here is a photo from my apprenticing ceremony (we sword oaths on an oath ring):
I also created this Snartemo II belt for my laurel as a thank you gift for taking me on as her apprentice:
I've also been busy creating tablet woven pieces for others! Mistress Drifa was put on vigil to become a laurel and had her ceremony at An Tir West War while I was in Japan. I wanted to contribute to her laureling garments because she helped me quite a bit when I first started tablet weaving - it felt appropriate to create something for her that would show her efforts were appreciated! I created this unique purple/gold pattern that was sewn onto her underdress and apron panel:
Last, but certainly not least, I created a wire brocade piece for her Majesty Shaya's step down. The piece went on her apron dress:
I'll be doing more sewing and weaving this fall as I start to plan new garments and my competition piece for Kingdom A&S! More posts to come!
