ES - FW: [SCAbyzantine] Unbelievable Brocades

[Vicki Marsh]

Those of you who saw me drooling over the samples at 12th Night, here is the
web page.  Chiara Francesca and Fritz have got the samples.
 Scroll down for "flax" material.  I think they mean linen.  Also a great
source for making church vestments for the nice churches that let us use
their site.

Subject: [SCAbyzantine] Unbelievable Brocades


When I was doing some research, something caught my attention.  It
has been said that many modern church garments are
direct  "descendants" of Byzantine clothing. I thought of looking for
fabrics that chuch vestments might be made from and happened on this
site.       http://www.istok.net

If you scroll down the main page and click on vestment fabrics, you
will be on your way.  Many of the brocades are not, in my opinion,
overly religious, but they are all beautiful. Pricy, though.  They
also have silks and other fabrics

p.s. I posted some other sites to the egroups links page tonight if
you are interested.
