[Ansteorra-textiles] Greetings and a quest

[Jhan Knebel]

For those that are interested, but not familiar here is a good starting
point for understanding what the Clavi and segmentae are and how they
were placed on the tabard.

http://www.earlyperiod.com/articles/roman_dalmatica/

I have several resources (all online currently) in my website's links
section:

http://maisondelatorche.org/links.php

All resorces are in the Roman Men's clothing and Roman Weaving
categories.

We have not specifically designed which dalmaticas he wants yet, we will
work on that Saturday morning. I do have some overall color combinations
for the outfits that His Highness is looking for:

blue and black with gold accents
black and gold 
white with purple accents

I am open to using embroidered and beaded panels as well, as long as we
can document what we do. The garments themselves are relatively easy to
create, so the weaving/beading/embroidery will be what really makes
these outfits shine.

My first concern will be getting his garments done for Coronation, of
course. 

In Service,

Rixende

Ldy Xanthe has some pictures she took at the Cloisters recently of these
kind of garments...

Many of the clavii from what I have seen are woven into the cloth or
maybe the linen threads are pulled and the wool woven in tapestry
style....vines, figures and animals seem to be the majority of what I've
seen...ya'll might want to keep this in mind when designing the bands...

Ya might look at Early Decorative Textiles by Paul Hamlyn (I have it if
you wish to borrow it...) and The Roman Textile Industry and it's
Influence (David Brown/Oxbow has it for a good price...ya can borrow it
too....) I can't seem to find the rest of my books that relate...I think
they're still at Isobail's...

Okay...we'll all need some specs...like how long and wide...are you
doing the really long ones or the two from the top and two from the
bottom...do you need specific colours? 

For some of the rondels/squares you might be able to get by with
tapestry fabric...I've seen some at the high end stores cary tapestry
fabric that has rondels with roman-like designs. 

I don't know if my tablet weaving is up to par enough yet...I haven't
gotten DF down yet...but I'd be willing to weave plain bands (or supply
appropriate fabric) and embroider them appropriately....

My Lady Rixende, I assure you that you came to the right place! I can
name several very able weavers in my own Barony, so there will indeed be
enough segmentae woven to clothe your Lord and our King. I myself am a
beginning inkle weaver, so anything I could produce would certainly Not
be suitable for His clothing.

Greetings unto the Textiles list from Honorable Lady Rixende de Rouen,
Tailor to His Royal Highness. I have joined this list as I have been set
upon a task by His Highness and I am in need of the assistance of the
many talented weavers in Ansteorra.

His Highness will be adopting a Roman persona as of Coronation, and
therefore I have a great need for Woven segmentae, clavi, etc. to adorn
his garments. I am in search of card, tapestry and loom weavers who
would be willing to undertake this task of weaving these pieces which
will then be attached to his garments (primarily Dalmaticas.) 

I am also looking for any documentation that people can point me toward
for Roman weaving (6th-7th century) and garments. 

If you are interested in assisting in this endeavor, please contact me
at rixende at mail2noble.com. I will also probably remain on this list
throughout Their reign, as I have much to learn about weaving, and a
very short time to do it in.

In Service to Ansteorra,
