NORTHERN CALIFORNIA RENAISSANCE FAIRE

Description: Gold jaquard that I am hand embroidering in 5 colors with pearls and Swarovski crystal accents. The forepart, sleeves and insets are royal purple silk with a gold metal net overlay. This is jeweled with Swarovski crystals as well and the insets are piped in gold. The guard on the overskirt is matching gold cotton velvet. I am considering embroidering hanging oversleeves as well. The sleeve design is changing to closer sleeves from the picture.

For 2008 I will be adding 2 new chemises with crystals and gold thread, 1 set of embroidered hanging sleeves lined in Aubergine tucked silk with crystals and gold trim and another forepart made of the same Aubergine tucked silk with matching deco.

Here is a close up of the embroidery work.
