Sunnuntain omistin rautakaudelle. Kaikki lautanauhahuolittelut on tehty, nyörit punottu ja seuraavaksi mietin, miten pidän huntua ja miten viimeistelen viittakankaani. Mutta tästä saa nyt jonkun käsityksen siitä, miltä uusi kokonaisuus näyttää.
- alla pellavainen alusmekko
- sen päällä sininen villainen mekko, kangas Medeltidsmodelta. Huomattavasti lyhyempi kuin vanhat mekot.
- vaippahame käsinkudottua toimikasta
- esiliina itse kudottu ja värjätty + pronssispiraalein viimeistelty
- säärisiteet itse kudottu
- viittakangas ostettu, itse värjäsin indigolla
- huntukangas ohutta villaa, värjätty oman pihan morsingoilla
(viitan ja hunnun värjäsin mielessä olevaa baltialaista pukuani varten, mutta sen toteutus on näköjään viipyilevää sorttia)
- ja sitten vielä krappivärjätystä langasta punotut säärisiteiden nyörit
This Sunday I devoted to Finnish Iron Age. All tablet woven finishing is done, braids done and next I need to thing what kind of a hair piece I want and how to finish the shawl. But so far I can sort of see what my dress will look like
- underdress linen
- woolen blue dress made of bought wool, from Medeltidsmode. The dress is clearly shorter than my older ones.
- handwoven peplos
- handwoven apron, home dyed + bronze spiral decoration
- handwoven leg wraps
- the shawl fabric bought, home dyed with indigo
- the veil is wool dyed with woad from my garden
( the shawl and the veil are actually dyed for the baltic dress I have been planning, but since it seems to take time, it´s time to use them)
- and then madder dyed braided let wrap ties with bronze spirals.
Ja taas on tullut valittua sellaiset maanläheiset värit...
And seems that I have again chosen those "close to earth" colous...
Säärisiteiden nyörit eivät periaatteessa edes näy helman alta, mutta tässä pieni vilautus.
Those red ties don't actually show under the skirt, but here is a small teaser.
Arjen pieniä sulostuttajia, sanoi Jenni Sahramaa spiraaleista. Naulan kantaan!
Small delicatessen of everyday, said Jenni Sahramaa once about bronze spirals. I say, well said!
About the shawl: We went to see some textile fragments to Tavastia castle in town called Hämeenlinna. There was this fragment from Vilusenharju. Quite nice, I would say!
Lovely (as ever!). Is the headwrap wool?
VastaaPoistaThank you. Yes, thin wool, folded double and woad dyed.
VastaaPoistaLove it! It looks amazing and so warm and cozy.
VastaaPoistaI need to finish the shawl fast, cant wait to see it ready too :) I like these dresses a lot
VastaaPoistaIt's so, so, so beautiful! This colours!
VastaaPoistaI found yours blog, when I made first finnish outfit and I'm faithful reader since then - yours works are amazing :)
Hi Mervi! It's Laura from Ballare (Latvia) with a question here: I'm interested in the evidence of the red overdress sown together on one side. I mean - it's two pieces, pinned together on both shoulders. Is there extant evidence of the side seam?
VastaaPoistaHi Laura! if you are referring to the Perniö dress, it was created at 1920´s and not considered very accurate or loyal to original finds. So I would stick to open sided peplos style if making a new one.
